From single pieces to full crew runs, Ada gets designed from scratch gear with honest pricing and a 5 to 7 day door-to-door timeline.
In-house designers turn napkin sketches and old low-res logos into print-ready vector art. Free with every order, proof in 24 hours. For Ada, that comes with published pack pricing and door delivery in 5 to 7 business days.
With about 1,700 people spread over 1.3 square miles, Ada gets the same flat delivery promise as everywhere else we serve: 5 to 7 business days to any door. If your people are spread out, that is fine: Borup, MN (8 mi), Twin Valley, MN (12 mi), Gary, MN (13 mi) sit close enough that one order can outfit all of them. The closest major installation is Grand Forks Air Force Base, roughly 50 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 Ada.
Because Borup sits only 8 miles from Ada, joint orders across town lines are common here: one proof, one pack price, two delivery stops if needed.
Shirts, banners, and signage drawn as one matched system. Packs mix garment colors freely, so squads, shifts, or grade levels can each get their own.
A small collection designed to sell, not just to exist. Ask for the honest option and you get it, even when it is the cheaper one.
The rescue service: old logos rebuilt as clean vector files that print sharp forever. Start from a napkin sketch if that is what you have. Turning rough into print ready is the job.
Insignia drawn correctly, with trademark rules respected and flagged. Bring a rough idea, even a phone photo of a whiteboard, and our designers make it print ready at no charge.
Describe it in a sentence; a designer builds it and proofs it within 24 hours. The proof comes first and it is free, so what arrives is exactly what you signed off on.
The year on the shirt sets the type style, and the team knows the difference. The second order takes two minutes because the first one is archived down to the thread color.
We print for units, veterans, and military families every day, and the discipline transfers. Ada customers get straight answers on dates, a named person on their order, and work we would put our own name on.
Part of the job is refusing bad orders. When the art, the garment, or the date is wrong, saying so before you pay is the service.
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.
Garment choice makes or breaks the order. These are the blanks Ada customers pick most, all designable online on real product photos.
Put the design on washed heavyweight cotton and it stops being a shirt and starts being merch. Ask for the honest option and you get it, even when it is the cheaper one.
Max weight, boxy drop, oversized print field: the streetwear formula. Deadlines get treated like formation times, not suggestions.
Most new designs land on the Classic first. 80 plus colors means your art gets the exact backdrop it needs. Ask for the honest option and you get it, even when it is the cheaper one.
Finished files are welcome but never required. A faded photo, a hand sketch, or three sentences of description all become professional vector art at no charge, proofed back to you within a day. The revision count is unlimited, the approval is in writing, and production does not move an inch until that approval exists.
Hands-on types can skip the wait entirely: the Design Lab puts your art on the actual garment with the price updating live.
No mystery pricing. These are the published packs on our light cotton tee, front print included, and Ada customers watch the per piece cost fall as quantity climbs.
| Quantity | Pack price | Per shirt | Shipping | Add back print |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 pack | $180 | $18 ea | $18 | $4 ea |
| 15 pack | $250 | $16.67 ea | $18 | $4 ea |
| 20 pack | $320 | $16 ea | $20.99 | $4 ea |
| 25 pack | $375 | $15 ea | $20.99 | $3 ea |
| 50 pack | $700 | $14 ea | $22.99 | $2 ea |
| 100 pack | $1200 | $12 ea | FREE | $2 ea |
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.
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.
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.
Your written approval is the gate. Until it exists, nothing prints; once it exists, exactly that design 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.
Art, thread colors, and size history stay archived, so the next season run starts with one email.
Every order ships tracked to Ada 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.
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.
Yes, and without giving up your email: the Design Lab keeps the complete total, packs to shipping, on screen while you design.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Our minimum is 10 pieces. Packs for your Ada crew begin at 10, the per piece price falls as the count climbs, and shipping goes free at 100.
