Banners and Signs for Portage: free 24-hour proofs, published pack pricing, and tracked delivery in 5 to 7 business days.
Portage 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 Portage address in 5 to 7 business days.
Census numbers put Portage at about 10,000 people on 8.9 square miles of Wisconsin, all of it covered by the same tracked shipping. Nearby crews are already in the coverage circle, with Dekorra, WI (7 mi), Pardeeville, WI (8 mi), Wyocena, WI (9 mi) sharing the identical pack rates and timelines. For the military community, Fort McCoy sits about 72 miles away, well inside our normal unit-order routes.
The whole process runs remote: rough idea in, free designer-built proof back, written approval, and finished gear delivered to Portage.
A typical week of banners and signs orders from this corner of Wisconsin mixes Portage crews with neighbors like Dekorra, 7 miles over, all running through the same designer, the same proof cycle, and the same tracked delivery.
Pier-side photo banners sized four by eight, produced on timelines that respect shifting return dates. Bring a rough idea, even a phone photo of a whiteboard, and our designers make it print ready at no charge.
Registration, sponsor, and directional signs for runs, fairs, and ceremonies. Every price is published before you talk to a person, so the budget math happens on your terms.
Recruiting tables and expo booths that set up in thirty seconds. Ask for the honest option and you get it, even when it is the cheaper one.
Field and yard signs in quantity, printed on corrugated plastic. If a design will not print well at the size you want, you hear that before money changes hands.
Hem-and-grommet outdoor vinyl sized to the fence line. Nobody chases an order here. Your contact tells you where it stands before you have to ask.
Memorial signage treated as the most important order in the building. The proof comes first and it is free, so what arrives is exactly what you signed off on.
This shop exists for the military community, and it shows in how orders run. Deadlines are treated like formation times, proofs are honest instead of optimistic, and when Portage customers call, a person who owns the order answers.
Honesty runs in both directions here. A doomed timeline or a design that will disappoint gets called out early, with an alternative attached.
Upload art or add text in the Design Lab, set sizes and quantities, and the full estimate, shipping included, is on screen before you give anyone your email.
The right blank depends on budget, season, and how hard the gear will be worn. For Portage customers, these three earn their keep.
Pair the banner with matching tees in the same order: one approval covers everything. A real designer, not an upload widget, checks every file before it goes near production.
Staff tees matched to the signage, cheap enough to hand out by the case. If a design will not print well at the size you want, you hear that before money changes hands.
When the event is outdoors in November, the staff gear is a hoodie. Youth and adult cuts run side by side in the same pack at the same price structure.
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.
The table below is the actual price list Portage customers order from, light cotton tee, front print included, no asterisks.

Beyond the table, the only extras are per-piece and public: back prints at the listed rate stepping down to $3 then $2, oversized fronts at $3 dropping to $2, and 2XL-plus at $6 dropping to $4. The Design Lab does this arithmetic for you in real time.
Kick it off however suits you: describe the concept in the quote form or drop your art straight into the Design Lab. Polish is not required at this stage.
A real designer, not an algorithm, sends your proof within 24 hours. You change it as many times as it takes to be right.
Production waits for one thing only: your written sign-off on the proof. That signature is the contract for exactly what prints.
From approval, count 5 to 7 business days to your door. If the event is sooner, ask about rush and get a straight yes or no.
The specs live in our archive permanently: same art, same colors, same result, on demand.
Every order ships tracked to Portage 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.
Due to custom orders, all work is finalized and no returns are accepted. Double check sizing and artwork before submitting your order. Every order gets a free proof first, and nothing prints until you approve it in writing.
The minimum order is 10 pieces. Your portage crew can order ten today and a hundred next month; the packs just make each piece cheaper as the count grows.
Send whatever exists. Vectors print perfectly, high resolution PNGs print clean, and anything below that gets redrawn free by the design team before it goes near a press.
Yes. We ship to all 50 states and to APO and FPO addresses for deployed and overseas service members.
That is the point of the Design Lab: the complete number, packs, back prints, size upcharges, shipping, updates live while you design, before any contact form.
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.
