Custom designed from scratch gear for Ann Arbor businesses, schools, teams, churches, and crews. Proofs in 24 hours, delivered in 5 to 7 days.
Ann Arbor crews order designed from scratch 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 Ann Arbor address in 5 to 7 business days.
Census numbers put Ann Arbor at about 119,000 people on 28.3 square miles of Michigan, all of it covered by the same tracked shipping. Nearby crews are already in the coverage circle, with Barton Hills, MI (3 mi), Ypsilanti, MI (6 mi), Saline, MI (7 mi) sharing the identical pack rates and timelines. For the military community, Selfridge Air National Guard Base sits about 49 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 Ann Arbor.
A typical week of custom design orders from this corner of Michigan mixes Ann Arbor crews with neighbors like Barton Hills, 3 miles over, all running through the same designer, the same proof cycle, and the same tracked delivery.
Start with words alone: the design team turns a description into finished art. Every price is published before you talk to a person, so the budget math happens on your terms.
The year on the shirt sets the type style, and the team knows the difference. Deadlines get treated like formation times, not suggestions.
One design system across shirts, banners, and signs so everything matches. Youth and adult cuts run side by side in the same pack at the same price structure.
A tight little product line, designed to move at the table. Bring a rough idea, even a phone photo of a whiteboard, and our designers make it print ready at no charge.
The rescue service: old logos rebuilt as clean vector files that print sharp forever. What you approve in writing is what ships. That rule has no exceptions.
Insignia drawn correctly, with trademark rules respected and flagged. Youth and adult cuts run side by side in the same pack at the same price structure.
Serving the military community is not a marketing line here, it is the operating system. Ann arbor 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.
Start from the garment and the rest follows. Among Ann Arbor customers, these three blanks carry most of the orders, each designable online on its real photos.
When the design is the product, the garment dyed heavyweight makes it feel like a brand, not a handout. Ask for the honest option and you get it, even when it is the cheaper one.
Streetwear concepts belong on the 7.5oz max heavyweight with an oversized front or full back. Ask for the honest option and you get it, even when it is the cheaper one.
The proving ground for new art, with an 80-color palette to frame it perfectly. Rush timelines get quoted honestly. If we cannot hit the date, we say so before you pay a cent.
Design help is not an upsell here, it is how orders start. Describe the concept in a sentence, attach whatever reference you have, and within 24 hours a real designer returns a proof drawn as clean vectors, era-correct where it matters. Revisions cost nothing and continue until the proof is right, and your written approval is the only thing that sends it to production.
The Design Lab is there when you want to drive: upload, place, and price the design yourself on the exact garment we print.

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.
A real designer, not an algorithm, sends your proof within 24 hours. You change it as many times as it takes to be right.
You approve in writing before production starts. No surprises at the box opening, because you already saw the shirt.
Five to seven business days covers printing and delivery. Tight timeline? Rush gets a truthful quote, not a hopeful one.
The specs live in our archive permanently: same art, same colors, same result, on demand.
The timeline to Ann Arbor addresses is fixed and published: 5 to 7 business days door to door, production included. Shipping rates are flat, visible in the table, and free from 100 pieces.
The roster is the packing list: every size counted into the box, tracking issued at pickup, and any shortage or transit damage made right at our cost without argument.
Always, at no charge. A designer takes your rough input, redraws it print ready, and has a proof in your inbox inside a day, with unlimited revisions after.
Yes. Runs in the hundreds of pieces with mixed sizes and colors are our normal work, managed by one point of contact from proof to delivery.
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.
Order ten, order fifty, order five hundred: 10 pieces is our floor, and for your Ann Arbor crew, bigger packs simply pull the per-piece price down.
Vector files such as AI, SVG, EPS, and PDF are ideal. A 300 DPI PNG with a transparent background also prints clean. If all you have is a screenshot, we redraw it free.
Deployed addresses are first-class here: APO and FPO ship on the standard timeline, right alongside all 50 states.
