Custom designed from scratch gear for Candlewood Isle businesses, schools, teams, churches, and crews. Proofs in 24 hours, delivered in 5 to 7 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 Candlewood Isle, that comes with published pack pricing and door delivery in 5 to 7 business days.
Candlewood Isle covers 0.4 square miles of Connecticut, and delivery reaches every address in it on the standard 5 to 7 day window. The same run covers the neighboring communities too: Candlewood Knolls, CT (1 mi), Candlewood Lake Club, CT (1 mi), Candlewood Shores, CT (1 mi) all order from the same shop at the same published pricing. For the military community, West Point sits about 31 miles away, well inside our normal unit-order routes.
No storefront visit required. Send a rough idea or finished art, a real designer builds the proof at no charge, and the finished gear ships straight to Candlewood Isle.
Custom Design demand around Candlewood Isle does not stop at the town line. Crews from Candlewood Knolls (1 miles out) order through the same process, which is why coverage is priced by pack, never by zip code.
Merch collections designed with selling in mind, not just decoration. The second order takes two minutes because the first one is archived down to the thread color.
The rescue service: old logos rebuilt as clean vector files that print sharp forever. Mixed sizes and colors in one run are standard here, not a special request.
Insignia drawn correctly, with trademark rules respected and flagged. We handle the art, the sizing spread, and the deadline. You handle handing them out.
Describe it in a sentence; a designer builds it and proofs it within 24 hours. If a design will not print well at the size you want, you hear that before money changes hands.
Typography matched to the era, from Vietnam-period stencil to modern athletic block. Bring a rough idea, even a phone photo of a whiteboard, and our designers make it print ready at no charge.
One design system across shirts, banners, and signs so everything matches. A real designer, not an upload widget, checks every file before it goes near production.
We print for units, veterans, and military families every day, and the discipline transfers. Candlewood isle 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.
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 Candlewood Isle customers, these three earn their keep.
The proving ground for new art, with an 80-color palette to frame it perfectly. Mixed sizes and colors in one run are standard here, not a special request.
Put the design on washed heavyweight cotton and it stops being a shirt and starts being merch. The proof comes first and it is free, so what arrives is exactly what you signed off on.
The 7.5oz boxy blank is where streetwear concepts land, oversized front or full back. Youth and adult cuts run side by side in the same pack at the same price structure.
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.
Budget planning for Candlewood Isle customers starts with real numbers. This is our light cotton tee pack pricing with the front print already included.

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.
You approve in writing before production starts. No surprises at the box opening, because you already saw the shirt.
Standard turnaround is 5 to 7 business days from approval to doorstep, with rush available when the calendar demands it.
Art, thread colors, and size history stay archived, so the next season run starts with one email.
The timeline to Candlewood Isle 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.
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.
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.
Yes. We ship to all 50 states and to APO and FPO addresses for deployed and overseas service members.
That is the point of the Design Lab: the complete number, packs, back prints, size upcharges, shipping, updates live while you design, before any contact form.
