Custom Design for Arlington: 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 Arlington, that comes with published pack pricing and door delivery in 5 to 7 business days.
Arlington covers 3.8 square miles of Vermont, and delivery reaches every address in it on the standard 5 to 7 day window. If your people are spread out, that is fine: Manchester, VT (7 mi), South Shaftsbury, VT (9 mi), Manchester Center, VT (10 mi) sit close enough that one order can outfit all of them. For the military community, Westover Air Reserve Base sits about 68 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 Arlington.
A typical week of custom design orders from this corner of Vermont mixes Arlington crews with neighbors like Manchester, 7 miles over, all running through the same designer, the same proof cycle, and the same tracked delivery.
A small collection designed to sell, not just to exist. Reorders match the first run exactly because we keep your art and specs on file.
The rescue service: old logos rebuilt as clean vector files that print sharp forever. A real designer, not an upload widget, checks every file before it goes near production.
Crests and emblems built with correct heraldry and licensing rules observed. Rush timelines get quoted honestly. If we cannot hit the date, we say so before you pay a cent.
Describe it in a sentence; a designer builds it and proofs it within 24 hours. Mixed sizes and colors in one run are standard here, not a special request.
The year on the shirt sets the type style, and the team knows the difference. Bring a rough idea, even a phone photo of a whiteboard, and our designers make it print ready at no charge.
A single visual system covering everything the event prints. Nobody chases an order here. Your contact tells you where it stands before you have to ask.
The shop runs on habits borrowed from the people we serve: accountability by name, honest reporting, and deadlines that do not slide. Arlington customers feel the difference on the first order.
The same discipline applies inward: an unrealistic date or a design that will not print well gets flagged before you commit, not explained after.
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 Arlington customers, these three earn their keep.
Max weight, boxy drop, oversized print field: the streetwear formula. The second order takes two minutes because the first one is archived down to the thread color.
The proving ground for new art, with an 80-color palette to frame it perfectly. What you approve in writing is what ships. That rule has no exceptions.
Serious designs deserve the garment-dyed heavyweight, which reads brand rather than handout. One point of contact owns your order from first proof to delivery confirmation.
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.
Prefer hands-on? Build the design yourself in the Design Lab on real product photos, with the running price on screen while you work.
Start the budget from the real numbers: published light cotton tee packs, front print built into every figure Arlington customers see.

Every heavier garment keeps this same pack shape at its own numbers, and the Design Lab totals it live while you build.
Send the idea through the quote form or build it yourself in the Design Lab. A napkin sketch photographed on a phone counts, our designers have built full unit runs from less.
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.
Nothing goes to press until you approve the proof in writing. What you sign off on is exactly what prints, that is the whole point of the proof.
Production and shipping run 5 to 7 business days standard. Rush options exist and get quoted honestly against your date.
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 Arlington 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 without giving up your email: the Design Lab keeps the complete total, packs to shipping, on screen while you design.
Five to seven business days, all in, from approval to arrival. Rush exists for real deadlines and gets an honest yes or no up front.
Design help is included free. Whatever you have, a napkin sketch, a faded shirt photo, a sentence, becomes a print-ready proof from a real designer 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.
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.
