Custom Design for Alma: free 24-hour proofs, published pack pricing, and tracked delivery in 5 to 7 business days.
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 Alma, that comes with published pack pricing and door delivery in 5 to 7 business days.
Census numbers put Alma at a community of 305 on 1.1 square miles of Illinois, all of it covered by the same tracked shipping. Nearby crews are already in the coverage circle, with Kinmundy, IL (5 mi), Salem, IL (7 mi), Iuka, IL (10 mi) sharing the identical pack rates and timelines. For the military community, Scott Air Force Base sits about 60 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 Alma.
A typical week of custom design orders from this corner of Illinois mixes Alma crews with neighbors like Kinmundy, 5 miles over, all running through the same designer, the same proof cycle, and the same tracked delivery.
Typography matched to the era, from Vietnam-period stencil to modern athletic block. Nobody chases an order here. Your contact tells you where it stands before you have to ask.
Shirts, banners, and signage drawn as one matched system. What you approve in writing is what ships. That rule has no exceptions.
A tight little product line, designed to move at the table. The second order takes two minutes because the first one is archived down to the thread color.
Faded, blurry, or tiny source art gets redrawn into crisp vectors. Start from a napkin sketch if that is what you have. Turning rough into print ready is the job.
Unit art drawn right the first time, with anything trademark-sensitive flagged early. Ask for the honest option and you get it, even when it is the cheaper one.
A sentence of description is enough input for a full designed proof inside a day. What you approve in writing is what ships. That rule has no exceptions.
We print for units, veterans, and military families every day, and the discipline transfers. Alma customers get straight answers on dates, a named person on their order, and work we would put our own name on.
The same discipline applies inward: an unrealistic date or a design that will not print well gets flagged before you commit, not explained after.
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 Alma customers pick most, all designable online on real product photos.
The proving ground for new art, with an 80-color palette to frame it perfectly. Ask for the honest option and you get it, even when it is the cheaper one.
When the design is the product, the garment dyed heavyweight makes it feel like a brand, not a handout. Rush timelines get quoted honestly. If we cannot hit the date, we say so before you pay a cent.
Streetwear concepts belong on the 7.5oz max heavyweight with an oversized front or full back. What you approve in writing is what ships. That rule has no exceptions.
Half the orders we take begin as a phone photo of a sketch, an old shirt, or a sentence describing the idea. A designer turns that into print-ready vector art at no charge, sends the proof inside 24 hours, and revises it until you sign off in writing. Nothing is produced before that signature, which is why what shows up matches what you expected.

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.
One day later the proof is in your inbox: your art, your garment, your colors, at true print scale. Revisions never cost a cent.
Production waits for one thing only: your written sign-off on the proof. That signature is the contract for exactly what prints.
Production and shipping run 5 to 7 business days standard. Rush options exist and get quoted honestly against your date.
Art, thread colors, and size history stay archived, so the next season run starts with one email.
Production plus shipping to Alma 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.
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.
File quality is our problem, not yours: vectors are ideal, 300 DPI PNGs work, and weak files get redrawn at no charge.
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.
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.
