From single pieces to full crew runs, Tilden gets printed large format gear with honest pricing and a 5 to 7 day door-to-door timeline.
Tilden 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 Tilden address in 5 to 7 business days.
Census numbers put Tilden at a community of 745 on 1.0 square miles of Illinois, all of it covered by the same tracked shipping. Nearby crews are already in the coverage circle, with Coulterville, IL (5 mi), Marissa, IL (5 mi), Sparta, IL (6 mi) sharing the identical pack rates and timelines. The closest major installation is Scott Air Force Base, roughly 27 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 Tilden.
Because Coulterville sits only 5 miles from Tilden, joint orders across town lines are common here: one proof, one pack price, two delivery stops if needed.
Homecoming banners printed quick, because the ship rarely lands on the day first announced. Packs mix garment colors freely, so squads, shifts, or grade levels can each get their own.
Registration, sponsor, and directional signs for runs, fairs, and ceremonies. Mixed sizes and colors in one run are standard here, not a special request.
Recruiting tables and expo booths that set up in thirty seconds. The proof comes first and it is free, so what arrives is exactly what you signed off on.
Corrugated signs by the stack for fundraisers and campaigns. Deadlines get treated like formation times, not suggestions.
Hem-and-grommet outdoor vinyl sized to the fence line. One point of contact owns your order from first proof to delivery confirmation.
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.
Serving the military community is not a marketing line here, it is the operating system. Tilden customers deal with one accountable person, get dates that mean something, and receive work held to a uniform standard.
Honesty runs in both directions here. A doomed timeline or a design that will disappoint gets called out early, with an alternative attached.
The Design Lab puts your art on the real garment, takes your size counts, and totals the whole order, shipping included, without asking who you are.
The right blank depends on budget, season, and how hard the gear will be worn. For Tilden customers, these three earn their keep.
The volunteer-shirt companion: light, matched to the signs, priced for volume. The proof comes first and it is free, so what arrives is exactly what you signed off on.
When the event is outdoors in November, the staff gear is a hoodie. The second order takes two minutes because the first one is archived down to the thread color.
Banners and matching shirts in one order share a proof, a deadline, and a delivery date. Reorders match the first run exactly because we keep your art and specs on file.
Most orders here start without finished artwork, and that is fine. Our in-house designers redraw low resolution logos as clean vectors, build new designs from a written description, and match era-correct type and insignia when the design calls for it. The service costs nothing with an order, the first proof lands within 24 hours, and revisions are unlimited. You approve the final art in writing before production, so the shirt that arrives is the shirt you signed off on.
Want to try it yourself first? The Design Lab lets you upload art, add text in stencil and athletic fonts, and position everything on the exact garment with live pricing the whole time.
No mystery pricing. These are the published packs on our light cotton tee, front print included, and Tilden customers watch the per piece cost fall as quantity climbs.

Three add-ons exist and all are flat per piece: the back print at the table rate ($3 from 25 pieces, $2 from 50), the oversized front at $3 or $2 depending on quantity, and extended sizes at $6 or $4. Nothing else gets added. The Design Lab applies every rule automatically, and the written quote confirms the total before anything is charged.
Start in the Design Lab on the exact garment we print, or send whatever you have through the quote form. Rough ideas are welcome, that is what the free design service is for.
Twenty-four hours gets you a designer-built proof on the exact blank you chose. Iterate freely until it is right.
The press does not move without your written yes. It is the single checkpoint that makes the no-returns policy fair.
Approval to doorstep runs 5 to 7 business days as the default, faster when rush is booked and honestly refused when it cannot be.
Everything about the run gets archived, which turns every future reorder into a one-line email.
Count 5 to 7 business days, production included, for tracked delivery to Tilden addresses. At 100 pieces shipping costs nothing; under that, the flat rates in the table are the whole story.
Before sealing, every carton is counted against the size roster, and tracking goes out the same day. Anything short or damaged gets replaced at our cost on an expedited timeline.
Best case: vector art (AI, SVG, EPS, PDF). Very good case: a 300 DPI transparent PNG. Worst case: a screenshot, which our designers redraw at no charge anyway.
Deployed addresses are first-class here: APO and FPO ship on the standard timeline, right alongside all 50 states.
Completely. Build the design in the Design Lab and the full order total sits on screen the whole time; no email, no call, no waiting.
Count 5 to 7 business days from approval to doorstep, production included. Tighter date? Ask about rush and you get a straight answer before paying.
Included with every order: a designer turns whatever you send into print-ready art, proofs it within 24 hours, and revises free until approved.
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.
Extended sizes carry a flat per-piece add: $6 when the order is under 25 pieces, $4 once it reaches 25. The estimate in the Design Lab applies it for you.
