Custom printed large format gear for Three Lakes businesses, schools, teams, churches, and crews. Proofs in 24 hours, delivered in 5 to 7 days.
Three Lakes 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 Three Lakes address in 5 to 7 business days.
All 6.0 square miles of Three Lakes sit inside our normal delivery map, tracked door to door. If your people are spread out, that is fine: Michigamme, MI (8 mi), Republic, MI (13 mi), Covington, MI (17 mi) sit close enough that one order can outfit all of them. The closest major installation is Coast Guard Air Station Traverse City, roughly 175 miles out, and unit orders from there run through this same process daily.
The whole process runs remote: rough idea in, free designer-built proof back, written approval, and finished gear delivered to Three Lakes.
A typical week of banners and signs orders from this corner of Michigan mixes Three Lakes crews with neighbors like Michigamme, 8 miles over, all running through the same designer, the same proof cycle, and the same tracked delivery.
Outdoor vinyl hemmed, grommeted, and cut to the fence you plan to hang it on. 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. Nobody chases an order here. Your contact tells you where it stands before you have to ask.
Homecoming banners printed quick, because the ship rarely lands on the day first announced. The second order takes two minutes because the first one is archived down to the thread color.
The full event kit: sponsor boards, registration signs, and arrows that get people where they belong. What you approve in writing is what ships. That rule has no exceptions.
The thirty-second booth: retractable stands for recruiters and expos. Every price is published before you talk to a person, so the budget math happens on your terms.
Corrugated signs by the stack for fundraisers and campaigns. Nobody chases an order here. Your contact tells you where it stands before you have to ask.
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 Three Lakes 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 Three Lakes customers, these three earn their keep.
Cold-month events call for fleece on the crew, not just cotton. A real designer, not an upload widget, checks every file before it goes near production.
Most banner orders add matching event shirts. Doing both in one order means one proof, one deadline, one delivery. Deadlines get treated like formation times, not suggestions.
Staff tees matched to the signage, cheap enough to hand out by the case. A real designer, not an upload widget, checks every file before it goes near production.
Every order includes the design team. They rescue low-resolution logos, invent art from plain descriptions, and keep insignia and period typography accurate when the concept demands it. Twenty-four hours after you send the idea, the proof is in your inbox; as many revisions as it takes come free, and your written sign-off is what starts the presses.
Or open the Design Lab and lay the design out yourself, priced in real time on the exact blank.
Here is what Three Lakes customers actually pay, starting from our light cotton tee. Every price includes a standard front print, and the number only moves down as the pack gets bigger.
| Quantity | Pack price | Per shirt | Shipping | Add back print |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 pieces | $180 | $18 ea | $18 | $4 ea |
| 15 pieces | $250 | $16.67 ea | $18 | $4 ea |
| 20 pieces | $320 | $16 ea | $20.99 | $4 ea |
| 25 pieces | $375 | $15 ea | $20.99 | $3 ea |
| 50 pieces | $700 | $14 ea | $22.99 | $2 ea |
| 100 pieces | $1200 | $12 ea | FREE | $2 ea |
Back prints add per piece at the rate shown, dropping to $3 at 25 pieces and $2 at 50. 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.
The first step is just getting the idea out of your head: type it into the quote form or mock it up in the Design Lab, rough edges and all.
One day later the proof is in your inbox: your art, your garment, your colors, at true print scale. Revisions never cost a cent.
The press does not move without your written yes. It is the single checkpoint that makes the no-returns policy fair.
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.
Production plus shipping to Three Lakes addresses runs 5 to 7 business days standard, tracked the whole way. Shipping is free at 100 pieces and flat rated below that, exactly as shown in the pricing table above.
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.
We do, at the same pace as domestic orders. Deployed and overseas service members at APO and FPO addresses are covered alongside all 50 states.
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.
Five to seven business days, all in, from approval to arrival. Rush exists for real deadlines and gets an honest yes or no up front.
Design help is included free. Whatever you have, a napkin sketch, a faded shirt photo, a sentence, becomes a print-ready proof from a real designer within 24 hours.
Large runs are the core business: hundreds of pieces, mixed sizes, multiple colors, one named contact who owns it from first proof to the delivery scan.
Simple math: 2XL and up cost $6 more per piece on small orders and $4 more per piece from 25 pieces. No other size fees exist, and the Design Lab totals it live.
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.
