From single pieces to full crew runs, Pelican gets printed large format gear with honest pricing and a 5 to 7 day door-to-door timeline.
Pelican crews order printed large format gear from us because the numbers are public and the process is simple: free design help, a written proof within 24 hours, and delivery to any Pelican address in 5 to 7 business days.
Census numbers put Pelican at a community of 92 on 0.5 square miles of Alaska, all of it covered by the same tracked shipping. The same run covers the neighboring communities too: Elfin Cove, AK (9 mi), Game Creek, AK (26 mi), Gustavus, AK (37 mi) all order from the same shop at the same published pricing. The closest major installation is Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, roughly 507 miles out, and unit orders from there run through this same process daily.
No storefront visit required. Send a rough idea or finished art, a real designer builds the proof at no charge, and the finished gear ships straight to Pelican.
A typical week of banners and signs orders from this corner of Alaska mixes Pelican crews with neighbors like Elfin Cove, 9 miles over, all running through the same designer, the same proof cycle, and the same tracked delivery.
Four-by-eight photo banners for the pier, hangar, and parade field, printed fast because return dates move. If a design will not print well at the size you want, you hear that before money changes hands.
Signage for race day and fair day: sponsors, directions, registration. Packs mix garment colors freely, so squads, shifts, or grade levels can each get their own.
Pull-up stands that turn a folding table into a professional booth. One point of contact owns your order from first proof to delivery confirmation.
Corrugated signs by the stack for fundraisers and campaigns. Ask for the honest option and you get it, even when it is the cheaper one.
Fence-line vinyl with proper hems and grommets, sized to spec. Bring a rough idea, even a phone photo of a whiteboard, and our designers make it print ready at no charge.
Memorial signage treated as the most important order in the building. Packs mix garment colors freely, so squads, shifts, or grade levels can each get their own.
The shop runs on habits borrowed from the people we serve: accountability by name, honest reporting, and deadlines that do not slide. Pelican customers feel the difference on the first order.
The same discipline applies inward: an unrealistic date or a design that will not print well gets flagged before you commit, not explained after.
Ninety seconds in the Design Lab gets you a complete number: garment, print, sizes, upcharges, and shipping, all before any contact form.
The right blank depends on budget, season, and how hard the gear will be worn. For Pelican customers, these three earn their keep.
Most banner orders add matching event shirts. Doing both in one order means one proof, one deadline, one delivery. Bring a rough idea, even a phone photo of a whiteboard, and our designers make it print ready at no charge.
Volunteer and staff tees to match the signage, priced for handing out by the box. If a design will not print well at the size you want, you hear that before money changes hands.
For outdoor events in cold months, the crew needs more than a tee. Reorders match the first run exactly because we keep your art and specs on file.
Design help is not an upsell here, it is how orders start. Describe the concept in a sentence, attach whatever reference you have, and within 24 hours a real designer returns a proof drawn as clean vectors, era-correct where it matters. Revisions cost nothing and continue until the proof is right, and your written approval is the only thing that sends it to production.
The Design Lab is there when you want to drive: upload, place, and price the design yourself on the exact garment we print.
No mystery pricing. These are the published packs on our light cotton tee, front print included, and Pelican customers watch the per piece cost fall as quantity climbs.

Oversized full body fronts add $3 per piece under 25 pieces and $2 at 25 or more, and sizes 2XL and up add $6 each under 25 pieces or $4 each at 25 or more. Heavier garments follow the same pack structure at their own price points, all shown live in the Design Lab.
Send the idea through the quote form or build it yourself in the Design Lab. A napkin sketch photographed on a phone counts, our designers have built full unit runs from less.
The proof arrives inside a day, drawn at print size on your chosen garment and color. Change anything, as often as needed, at no cost.
The press does not move without your written yes. It is the single checkpoint that makes the no-returns policy fair.
Standard turnaround is 5 to 7 business days from approval to doorstep, with rush available when the calendar demands it.
We archive your art and garment specs, which makes the second order a two minute conversation.
Every order ships tracked to Pelican addresses with standard production plus shipping at 5 to 7 business days. Free shipping kicks in at 100 pieces, and pack shipping rates below that are published, not surprises at checkout.
Orders ship boxed and counted against your size roster, with tracking sent the day they leave. If anything arrives short or damaged, photograph it and send it over, and we correct it at our cost.
The standard clock is 5 to 7 business days covering both production and delivery. Many orders can run faster; name the date and we will confirm or decline honestly.
Yes, and it costs nothing with your order. Send a sketch, an old logo, or just the idea, and a designer sends a print ready proof within 24 hours.
Large orders are the specialty, not the exception: hundreds of mixed-size pieces, roster-counted boxes, one accountable contact.
The extended-size rule fits in one line: add $6 per piece below 25 total, $4 per piece at 25 or more. The Design Lab applies it automatically.
Finality is the nature of custom work: no returns once it prints. Your protections live earlier in the process, in the free proof and the written approval that nothing skips.
The minimum order is 10 pieces. Your pelican crew can order ten today and a hundred next month; the packs just make each piece cheaper as the count grows.
Vector files such as AI, SVG, EPS, and PDF are ideal. A 300 DPI PNG with a transparent background also prints clean. If all you have is a screenshot, we redraw it free.
