Custom designed from scratch gear for Dearborn businesses, schools, teams, churches, and crews. Proofs in 24 hours, delivered in 5 to 7 days.
Dearborn 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 Dearborn address in 5 to 7 business days.
Census numbers put Dearborn at about 106,000 people on 24.2 square miles of Michigan, all of it covered by the same tracked shipping. Nearby crews are already in the coverage circle, with Melvindale, MI (3 mi), Allen Park, MI (4 mi), Dearborn Heights, MI (4 mi) sharing the identical pack rates and timelines. The closest major installation is Selfridge Air National Guard Base, roughly 26 miles out, and unit orders from there run through this same process daily.
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 Dearborn.
A typical week of custom design orders from this corner of Michigan mixes Dearborn crews with neighbors like Melvindale, 3 miles over, all running through the same designer, the same proof cycle, and the same tracked delivery.
A sentence of description is enough input for a full designed proof inside a day. Start from a napkin sketch if that is what you have. Turning rough into print ready is the job.
Stencil, athletic, and period-correct lettering matched to the year that matters. Mixed sizes and colors in one run are standard here, not a special request.
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 small collection designed to sell, not just to exist. We handle the art, the sizing spread, and the deadline. You handle handing them out.
The rescue service: old logos rebuilt as clean vector files that print sharp forever. If a design will not print well at the size you want, you hear that before money changes hands.
Insignia drawn correctly, with trademark rules respected and flagged. If a design will not print well at the size you want, you hear that before money changes hands.
We built this company on a simple standard: print it like the name on it matters. For Dearborn customers, that means honest timelines, real proofs, and no excuses on delivery day.
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.
Start from the garment and the rest follows. Among Dearborn customers, these three blanks carry most of the orders, each designable online on its real photos.
The 7.5oz boxy blank is where streetwear concepts land, oversized front or full back. Mixed sizes and colors in one run are standard here, not a special request.
The proving ground for new art, with an 80-color palette to frame it perfectly. The proof comes first and it is free, so what arrives is exactly what you signed off on.
Put the design on washed heavyweight cotton and it stops being a shirt and starts being merch. Start from a napkin sketch if that is what you have. Turning rough into print ready is the job.
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 table below is the actual price list Dearborn customers order from, light cotton tee, front print included, no asterisks.
| Pieces | Total | Each | Ship | Back print add |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pack of 10 | $180 | $18 ea | $18 | $4 ea |
| Pack of 15 | $250 | $16.67 ea | $18 | $4 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.
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.
A real designer, not an algorithm, sends your proof within 24 hours. You change it as many times as it takes to be right.
Production waits for one thing only: your written sign-off on the proof. That signature is the contract for exactly what prints.
Approval to doorstep runs 5 to 7 business days as the default, faster when rush is booked and honestly refused when it cannot be.
Everything about the run gets archived, which turns every future reorder into a one-line email.
Every order ships tracked to Dearborn addresses with standard production plus shipping at 5 to 7 business days. Free shipping kicks in at 100 pieces, and pack shipping rates below that are published, not surprises at checkout.
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.
Large orders are the specialty, not the exception: hundreds of mixed-size pieces, roster-counted boxes, one accountable contact.
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.
Finality is the nature of custom work: no returns once it prints. Your protections live earlier in the process, in the free proof and the written approval that nothing skips.
The minimum order is 10 pieces. Your dearborn crew can order ten today and a hundred next month; the packs just make each piece cheaper as the count grows.
File quality is our problem, not yours: vectors are ideal, 300 DPI PNGs work, and weak files get redrawn at no charge.
Yes, APO and FPO delivery is standard here, not an exception, and every state in the country ships the same way.
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.
