Custom apparel delivered to Caribou, Maine in 5 to 7 business days. Low 10 piece minimum, free design help, pack pricing published up front.
Caribou does not need a local print shop to get local-quality gear. Design online, approve a free proof from a real designer within 24 hours, and delivery lands at any Caribou address in 5 to 7 business days.
Census numbers put Caribou at about 7,400 people on 79.3 square miles of Maine, all of it covered by the same tracked shipping. The same run covers the neighboring communities too: Fort Fairfield, ME (7 mi), Limestone, ME (7 mi), Washburn, ME (10 mi) all order from the same shop at the same published pricing. The closest major installation is Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, roughly 293 miles out, and unit orders from there run through this same process daily.
The Maine military community orders here too: unit and family gear for Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, plus every recruiter, Guard unit, and veteran org chapter around Caribou.
Best per-piece price at volume, with ink that outlives the garment.
Thread instead of ink: caps, polos, and outerwear with permanent texture.
No screens, no setup fee: full-color small runs from 10 pieces.
All-over color dyed into the fabric, impossible to crack or peel.
Weatherproof vinyl, hemmed and grommeted, readable across a lot.
From napkin sketch to print-ready vectors, free with any order.
The civic calendar runs on volunteers, and volunteers run better in matching shirts. Ask for the honest option and you get it, even when it is the cheaper one.
Service group shirts, from food drives to youth retreats, priced openly by the pack. Packs mix garment colors freely, so squads, shifts, or grade levels can each get their own.
5K tees, tournament shirts, and memorial fundraiser runs delivered before event day. Every price is published before you talk to a person, so the budget math happens on your terms.
Team shirts, fan tees, and booster fundraisers with youth and adult sizes mixed in one pack. A real designer, not an upload widget, checks every file before it goes near production.
Spirit gear for schools where the PTA sees the proof and the price before any form goes home. Packs mix garment colors freely, so squads, shifts, or grade levels can each get their own.
Uniform tees, embroidered caps and polos, and workwear that survives the job. The proof comes first and it is free, so what arrives is exactly what you signed off on.
The shop runs on habits borrowed from the people we serve: accountability by name, honest reporting, and deadlines that do not slide. Caribou customers feel the difference on the first order.
Honesty runs in both directions here. A doomed timeline or a design that will disappoint gets called out early, with an alternative attached.
Ninety seconds in the Design Lab gets you a complete number: garment, print, sizes, upcharges, and shipping, all before any contact form.
Garment choice makes or breaks the order. These are the blanks Caribou customers pick most, all designable online on real product photos.
When the count is high, this 4.5oz ringspun blank keeps the math friendly: $12 a shirt at volume, front print included. Nobody chases an order here. Your contact tells you where it stands before you have to ask.
The default unit shirt: heavy cotton, an 80-color palette, and a fit that survives the wash cycle. Ask for the honest option and you get it, even when it is the cheaper one.
The clean-front fleece crew: 8.0oz, no pocket, no hood, maximum canvas for crests and block letters. Packs mix garment colors freely, so squads, shifts, or grade levels can each get their own.
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.
The table below is the actual price list Caribou customers order from, light cotton tee, front print included, no asterisks.

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.
Two doors in: the quote form if you want a person on it immediately, or the Design Lab if you want to see it on the garment first. Either way, unfinished ideas are the expected input.
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.
Standard turnaround is 5 to 7 business days from approval to doorstep, with rush available when the calendar demands it.
The specs live in our archive permanently: same art, same colors, same result, on demand.
Count 5 to 7 business days, production included, for tracked delivery to Caribou addresses. At 100 pieces shipping costs nothing; under that, the flat rates in the table are the whole story.
Boxes get counted twice against the roster before they seal, and the tracking number reaches you the day of pickup. Damage or shortage claims are our expense and our rush.
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.
Absolutely. Bulk is where pack pricing shines, and big mixed-size runs ship counted against your roster with a single person accountable for the date.
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.
There are no returns on custom orders; once printed, the work is final. That is exactly why production never starts without your written approval of a free proof, and why the size roster deserves a second look before you submit.
Our minimum is 10 pieces. Packs for your Caribou group begin at 10, the per piece price falls as the count climbs, and shipping goes free at 100.
File quality is our problem, not yours: vectors are ideal, 300 DPI PNGs work, and weak files get redrawn at no charge.
