Custom Design for Houlton: free 24-hour proofs, published pack pricing, and tracked delivery in 5 to 7 business days.
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 Houlton, that comes with published pack pricing and door delivery in 5 to 7 business days.
All 5.3 square miles of Houlton sit inside our normal delivery map, tracked door to door. If your people are spread out, that is fine: Oakfield, ME (15 mi), Island Falls, ME (22 mi), Blaine, ME (26 mi) sit close enough that one order can outfit all of them. The closest major installation is Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, roughly 254 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 Houlton.
Custom Design demand around Houlton does not stop at the town line. Crews from Oakfield (15 miles out) order through the same process, which is why coverage is priced by pack, never by zip code.
Typography matched to the era, from Vietnam-period stencil to modern athletic block. Every price is published before you talk to a person, so the budget math happens on your terms.
A single visual system covering everything the event prints. Start from a napkin sketch if that is what you have. Turning rough into print ready is the job.
Merch collections designed with selling in mind, not just decoration. We handle the art, the sizing spread, and the deadline. You handle handing them out.
A phone photo of a faded shirt becomes clean, print-ready vector art. One point of contact owns your order from first proof to delivery confirmation.
Unit art drawn right the first time, with anything trademark-sensitive flagged early. Packs mix garment colors freely, so squads, shifts, or grade levels can each get their own.
A sentence of description is enough input for a full designed proof inside a day. 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 Houlton 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.
Upload art or add text in the Design Lab, set sizes and quantities, and the full estimate, shipping included, is on screen before you give anyone your email.
The right blank depends on budget, season, and how hard the gear will be worn. For Houlton customers, these three earn their keep.
Streetwear concepts belong on the 7.5oz max heavyweight with an oversized front or full back. Deadlines get treated like formation times, not suggestions.
New designs debut on the Classic: 80-plus colors guarantee the right backdrop for the art. Rush timelines get quoted honestly. If we cannot hit the date, we say so before you pay a cent.
Put the design on washed heavyweight cotton and it stops being a shirt and starts being merch. Rush timelines get quoted honestly. If we cannot hit the date, we say so before you pay a cent.
Finished files are welcome but never required. A faded photo, a hand sketch, or three sentences of description all become professional vector art at no charge, proofed back to you within a day. The revision count is unlimited, the approval is in writing, and production does not move an inch until that approval exists.
Hands-on types can skip the wait entirely: the Design Lab puts your art on the actual garment with the price updating live.

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.
The press does not move without your written yes. It is the single checkpoint that makes the no-returns policy fair.
Production and shipping run 5 to 7 business days standard. Rush options exist and get quoted honestly against your date.
Your art and specs stay on file, so reorders match the first run exactly, down to the ink.
Production plus shipping to Houlton addresses runs 5 to 7 business days standard, tracked the whole way. Shipping is free at 100 pieces and flat rated below that, exactly as shown in the pricing table above.
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.
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.
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.
Order ten, order fifty, order five hundred: 10 pieces is our floor, and for your Houlton crew, bigger packs simply pull the per-piece price down.
File quality is our problem, not yours: vectors are ideal, 300 DPI PNGs work, and weak files get redrawn at no charge.
Deployed addresses are first-class here: APO and FPO ship on the standard timeline, right alongside all 50 states.
Yes. The Design Lab shows live pack pricing, back print costs, size upcharges, and shipping as you build your design.
