Custom Design for Erma: free 24-hour proofs, published pack pricing, and tracked delivery in 5 to 7 business days.
Erma 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 Erma address in 5 to 7 business days.
Erma covers 2.9 square miles of New Jersey, and delivery reaches every address in it on the standard 5 to 7 day window. Nearby crews are already in the coverage circle, with Rio Grande, NJ (2 mi), Villas, NJ (3 mi), Diamond Beach, NJ (3 mi) sharing the identical pack rates and timelines. The closest major installation is Coast Guard Training Center Cape May, roughly 4 miles out, and unit orders from there run through this same process daily.
Nothing here needs a storefront. Art goes in by phone or upload, a designer proofs it free, and the shipment lands in Erma counted against your roster.
Because Rio Grande sits only 2 miles from Erma, joint orders across town lines are common here: one proof, one pack price, two delivery stops if needed.
A tight little product line, designed to move at the table. Start from a napkin sketch if that is what you have. Turning rough into print ready is the job.
Faded, blurry, or tiny source art gets redrawn into crisp vectors. Start from a napkin sketch if that is what you have. Turning rough into print ready is the job.
Insignia drawn correctly, with trademark rules respected and flagged. A real designer, not an upload widget, checks every file before it goes near production.
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. 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. What you approve in writing is what ships. That rule has no exceptions.
We built this company on a simple standard: print it like the name on it matters. For Erma customers, that means honest timelines, real proofs, and no excuses on delivery day.
It also means we say no when we should. If a design will not print well at the size you want, or a date cannot be hit, you hear it before you spend money, not 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 Erma customers, these three earn their keep.
New designs debut on the Classic: 80-plus colors guarantee the right backdrop for the art. If a design will not print well at the size you want, you hear that before money changes hands.
When the design is the product, the garment dyed heavyweight makes it feel like a brand, not a handout. Bring a rough idea, even a phone photo of a whiteboard, and our designers make it print ready at no charge.
The 7.5oz boxy blank is where streetwear concepts land, oversized front or full back. Rush timelines get quoted honestly. If we cannot hit the date, we say so before you pay a cent.
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.
Start the budget from the real numbers: published light cotton tee packs, front print built into every figure Erma customers see.
