Custom Design for Elmwood: free 24-hour proofs, published pack pricing, and tracked delivery in 5 to 7 business days.
Elmwood 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 Elmwood address in 5 to 7 business days.
Elmwood is home to about 2,000 people across 1.4 square miles, and every one of those addresses is inside our standard 5 to 7 day delivery window. If your people are spread out, that is fine: Yates City, IL (3 mi), Brimfield, IL (6 mi), Farmington, IL (6 mi) sit close enough that one order can outfit all of them. For the military community, Rock Island Arsenal sits about 57 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 Elmwood.
A typical week of custom design orders from this corner of Illinois mixes Elmwood crews with neighbors like Yates City, 3 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. Every price is published before you talk to a person, so the budget math happens on your terms.
Faded, blurry, or tiny source art gets redrawn into crisp vectors. What you approve in writing is what ships. That rule has no exceptions.
Insignia drawn correctly, with trademark rules respected and flagged. Every price is published before you talk to a person, so the budget math happens on your terms.
Describe it in a sentence; a designer builds it and proofs it within 24 hours. Deadlines get treated like formation times, not suggestions.
Stencil, athletic, and period-correct lettering matched to the year that matters. Ask for the honest option and you get it, even when it is the cheaper one.
Shirts, banners, and signage drawn as one matched system. Ask for the honest option and you get it, even when it is the cheaper one.
We print for units, veterans, and military families every day, and the discipline transfers. Elmwood customers get straight answers on dates, a named person on their order, and work we would put our own name on.
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.
Garment choice makes or breaks the order. These are the blanks Elmwood customers pick most, all designable online on real product photos.
Serious designs deserve the garment-dyed heavyweight, which reads brand rather than handout. Youth and adult cuts run side by side in the same pack at the same price structure.
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.
The proving ground for new art, with an 80-color palette to frame it perfectly. 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.

Start in the Design Lab on the exact garment we print, or send whatever you have through the quote form. Rough ideas are welcome, that is what the free design service is for.
Twenty-four hours gets you a designer-built proof on the exact blank you chose. Iterate freely until it is right.
Production waits for one thing only: your written sign-off on the proof. That signature is the contract for exactly what prints.
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 Elmwood 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.
Orders ship boxed and counted against your size roster, with tracking sent the day they leave. If anything arrives short or damaged, photograph it and send it over, and we correct it at our cost.
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.
Our minimum is 10 pieces. Packs for your Elmwood crew begin at 10, the per piece price falls as the count climbs, and shipping goes free at 100.
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, APO and FPO delivery is standard here, not an exception, and every state in the country ships the same way.
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.
Count 5 to 7 business days from approval to doorstep, production included. Tighter date? Ask about rush and you get a straight answer before paying.
