From single pieces to full crew runs, Cottonwood gets designed from scratch gear with honest pricing and a 5 to 7 day door-to-door timeline.
Cottonwood 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 Cottonwood address in 5 to 7 business days.
With a community of 11 spread over 0.9 square miles, Cottonwood gets the same flat delivery promise as everywhere else we serve: 5 to 7 business days to any door. Nearby crews are already in the coverage circle, with Quinn, SD (11 mi), Philip, SD (13 mi), Wall, SD (17 mi) sharing the identical pack rates and timelines. Ellsworth Air Force Base, around 66 miles from Cottonwood, anchors the local military community we print for every week.
Nothing here needs a storefront. Art goes in by phone or upload, a designer proofs it free, and the shipment lands in Cottonwood counted against your roster.
A typical week of custom design orders from this corner of South Dakota mixes Cottonwood crews with neighbors like Quinn, 11 miles over, all running through the same designer, the same proof cycle, and the same tracked delivery.
One design system across shirts, banners, and signs so everything matches. One point of contact owns your order from first proof to delivery confirmation.
A tight little product line, designed to move at the table. The proof comes first and it is free, so what arrives is exactly what you signed off on.
A phone photo of a faded shirt becomes clean, print-ready vector art. Nobody chases an order here. Your contact tells you where it stands before you have to ask.
Crests and emblems built with correct heraldry and licensing rules observed. Every price is published before you talk to a person, so the budget math happens on your terms.
A sentence of description is enough input for a full designed proof inside a day. One point of contact owns your order from first proof to delivery confirmation.
Typography matched to the era, from Vietnam-period stencil to modern athletic block. Youth and adult cuts run side by side in the same pack at the same price structure.
We print for units, veterans, and military families every day, and the discipline transfers. Cottonwood customers get straight answers on dates, a named person on their order, and work we would put our own name on.
That standard cuts both ways. If your art needs work or your timeline is impossible, we tell you up front and offer the fix, because a bad shirt with our print on it costs us more than the order.
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 Cottonwood customers, these three earn their keep.
Put the design on washed heavyweight cotton and it stops being a shirt and starts being merch. Youth and adult cuts run side by side in the same pack at the same price structure.
Streetwear concepts belong on the 7.5oz max heavyweight with an oversized front or full back. Deadlines get treated like formation times, not suggestions.
The proving ground for new art, with an 80-color palette to frame it perfectly. Every price is published before you talk to a person, so the budget math happens on your terms.
Every order includes the design team. They rescue low-resolution logos, invent art from plain descriptions, and keep insignia and period typography accurate when the concept demands it. Twenty-four hours after you send the idea, the proof is in your inbox; as many revisions as it takes come free, and your written sign-off is what starts the presses.
Or open the Design Lab and lay the design out yourself, priced in real time on the exact blank.
Here is what Cottonwood customers actually pay, starting from our light cotton tee. Every price includes a standard front print, and the number only moves down as the pack gets bigger.
| Pieces | Total | Each | Ship | Back print add |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 pieces | $180 | $18 ea | $18 | $4 ea |
| 15 pieces | $250 | $16.67 ea | $18 | $4 ea |
| 20 pieces | $320 | $16 ea | $20.99 | $4 ea |
| 25 pieces | $375 | $15 ea | $20.99 | $3 ea |
| 50 pieces | $700 | $14 ea | $22.99 | $2 ea |
| 100 pieces | $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.
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.
Twenty-four hours gets you a designer-built proof on the exact blank you chose. Iterate freely until it is right.
The press does not move without your written yes. It is the single checkpoint that makes the no-returns policy fair.
Five to seven business days covers printing and delivery. Tight timeline? Rush gets a truthful quote, not a hopeful one.
We archive your art and garment specs, which makes the second order a two minute conversation.
The timeline to Cottonwood 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The minimum order is 10 pieces. Your cottonwood crew can order ten today and a hundred next month; the packs just make each piece cheaper as the count grows.
