From single pieces to full crew runs, Lakewood gets designed from scratch gear with honest pricing and a 5 to 7 day door-to-door timeline.
Lakewood 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 Lakewood address in 5 to 7 business days.
Lakewood covers 0.3 square miles of Indiana, and delivery reaches every address in it on the standard 5 to 7 day window. If your people are spread out, that is fine: Riley, IN (0 mi), Cory, IN (5 mi), Terre Haute, IN (6 mi) sit close enough that one order can outfit all of them. The closest major installation is Camp Atterbury, roughly 72 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 Lakewood.
A typical week of custom design orders from this corner of Indiana mixes Lakewood crews with neighbors like Riley, 0 miles over, all running through the same designer, the same proof cycle, and the same tracked delivery.
Crests and emblems built with correct heraldry and licensing rules observed. Nobody chases an order here. Your contact tells you where it stands before you have to ask.
Start with words alone: the design team turns a description into finished art. What you approve in writing is what ships. That rule has no exceptions.
Stencil, athletic, and period-correct lettering matched to the year that matters. Youth and adult cuts run side by side in the same pack at the same price structure.
Shirts, banners, and signage drawn as one matched system. Bring a rough idea, even a phone photo of a whiteboard, and our designers make it print ready at no charge.
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. We handle the art, the sizing spread, and the deadline. You handle handing them out.
The shop runs on habits borrowed from the people we serve: accountability by name, honest reporting, and deadlines that do not slide. Lakewood customers feel the difference on the first order.
Part of the job is refusing bad orders. When the art, the garment, or the date is wrong, saying so before you pay is the service.
Ninety seconds in the Design Lab gets you a complete number: garment, print, sizes, upcharges, and shipping, all before any contact form.
The right blank depends on budget, season, and how hard the gear will be worn. For Lakewood customers, these three earn their keep.
New designs debut on the Classic: 80-plus colors guarantee the right backdrop for the art. The second order takes two minutes because the first one is archived down to the thread color.
When the design is the product, the garment dyed heavyweight makes it feel like a brand, not a handout. What you approve in writing is what ships. That rule has no exceptions.
Streetwear concepts belong on the 7.5oz max heavyweight with an oversized front or full back. The second order takes two minutes because the first one is archived down to the thread color.
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.
No mystery pricing. These are the published packs on our light cotton tee, front print included, and Lakewood customers watch the per piece cost fall as quantity climbs.
| Quantity | Pack price | Per shirt | Shipping | Add back print |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pack of 10 | $180 | $18 ea | $18 | $4 ea |
| Pack of 15 | $250 | $16.67 ea | $18 | $4 ea |
| Pack of 20 | $320 | $16 ea | $20.99 | $4 ea |
| Pack of 25 | $375 | $15 ea | $20.99 | $3 ea |
| Pack of 50 | $700 | $14 ea | $22.99 | $2 ea |
| Pack of 100 | $1200 | $12 ea | FREE | $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.
The first step is just getting the idea out of your head: type it into the quote form or mock it up in the Design Lab, rough edges and all.
One day later the proof is in your inbox: your art, your garment, your colors, at true print scale. Revisions never cost a cent.
Your written approval is the gate. Until it exists, nothing prints; once it exists, exactly that design 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.
Every order ships tracked to Lakewood 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.
Every box leaves counted, tracked, and matched to your roster. Shortages and shipping damage are on us to fix, fast, because delivery day is the only day the customer remembers.
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.
Five to seven business days, all in, from approval to arrival. Rush exists for real deadlines and gets an honest yes or no up front.
Design help is included free. Whatever you have, a napkin sketch, a faded shirt photo, a sentence, becomes a print-ready proof from a real designer within 24 hours.
Absolutely. Bulk is where pack pricing shines, and big mixed-size runs ship counted against your roster with a single person accountable for the date.
Simple math: 2XL and up cost $6 more per piece on small orders and $4 more per piece from 25 pieces. No other size fees exist, and the Design Lab totals it live.
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.
