From single pieces to full crew runs, Hooper Bay gets designed from scratch gear with honest pricing and a 5 to 7 day door-to-door timeline.
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 Hooper Bay, that comes with published pack pricing and door delivery in 5 to 7 business days.
Census numbers put Hooper Bay at about 1,300 people on 7.5 square miles of Alaska, all of it covered by the same tracked shipping. The same run covers the neighboring communities too: Chevak, AK (17 mi), Scammon Bay, AK (29 mi), Tununak, AK (70 mi) all order from the same shop at the same published pricing. The closest major installation is Coast Guard Base Kodiak, roughly 541 miles out, and unit orders from there run through this same process daily.
The whole process runs remote: rough idea in, free designer-built proof back, written approval, and finished gear delivered to Hooper Bay.
Custom Design demand around Hooper Bay does not stop at the town line. Crews from Chevak (17 miles out) order through the same process, which is why coverage is priced by pack, never by zip code.

The gap between what you have and what a press needs is our designers job to close, free with any order.

The Design Lab offers the self-serve path, with your art positioned on real product photos and the total priced as you go.
Start the budget from the real numbers: published light cotton tee packs, front print built into every figure Hooper Bay customers see.
| Pieces | Total | Each | Ship | Back print add |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 pack | $180 | $18 ea | $18 | $4 ea |
| 15 pack | $250 | $16.67 ea | $18 | $4 ea |
| 20 pack | $320 | $16 ea | $20.99 | $4 ea |
| 25 pack | $375 | $15 ea | $20.99 | $3 ea |
| 50 pack | $700 | $14 ea | $22.99 | $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.
Kick it off however suits you: describe the concept in the quote form or drop your art straight into the Design Lab. Polish is not required at this stage.
A real designer, not an algorithm, sends your proof within 24 hours. You change it as many times as it takes to be right.
Nothing goes to press until you approve the proof in writing. What you sign off on is exactly what prints, that is the whole point of the proof.
From approval, count 5 to 7 business days to your door. If the event is sooner, ask about rush and get a straight yes or no.
