Custom designed from scratch gear for Long Lake businesses, schools, teams, churches, and crews. Proofs in 24 hours, delivered in 5 to 7 days.
Long Lake 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 Long Lake address in 5 to 7 business days.
Long Lake covers 1.2 square miles of Illinois, and delivery reaches every address in it on the standard 5 to 7 day window. Nearby crews are already in the coverage circle, with Round Lake Heights, IL (1 mi), Round Lake, IL (2 mi), Round Lake Beach, IL (2 mi) sharing the identical pack rates and timelines. The closest major installation is Naval Station Great Lakes, roughly 14 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 Long Lake.
Because Round Lake Heights sits only 1 miles from Long Lake, joint orders across town lines are common here: one proof, one pack price, two delivery stops if needed.
Merch collections designed with selling in mind, not just decoration. Ask for the honest option and you get it, even when it is the cheaper one.
The rescue service: old logos rebuilt as clean vector files that print sharp forever. Nobody chases an order here. Your contact tells you where it stands before you have to ask.
Crests and emblems built with correct heraldry and licensing rules observed. Reorders match the first run exactly because we keep your art and specs on file.
A sentence of description is enough input for a full designed proof inside a day. Youth and adult cuts run side by side in the same pack at the same price structure.
Stencil, athletic, and period-correct lettering matched to the year that matters. We handle the art, the sizing spread, and the deadline. You handle handing them out.
One design system across shirts, banners, and signs so everything matches. A real designer, not an upload widget, checks every file before it goes near production.
We print for units, veterans, and military families every day, and the discipline transfers. Long lake customers get straight answers on dates, a named person on their order, and work we would put our own name on.
The same discipline applies inward: an unrealistic date or a design that will not print well gets flagged before you commit, not explained 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.
Garment choice makes or breaks the order. These are the blanks Long Lake customers pick most, all designable online on real product photos.
Most new designs land on the Classic first. 80 plus colors means your art gets the exact backdrop it needs. Packs mix garment colors freely, so squads, shifts, or grade levels can each get their own.
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.
The 7.5oz boxy blank is where streetwear concepts land, oversized front or full back. We handle the art, the sizing spread, and the deadline. You handle handing them out.
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.
Here is what Long Lake customers actually pay, starting from our light cotton tee. Every price includes a standard front print, and the number only moves down as the pack gets bigger.
| Order size | Pack total | Cost per piece | Freight | Back side |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 pieces | $180 | $18 ea | $18 | $4 ea |
| 15 pieces | $250 | $16.67 ea | $18 | $4 ea |
| 20 pieces | $320 | $16 ea | $20.99 | $4 ea |
| 25 pieces | $375 | $15 ea | $20.99 | $3 ea |
| 50 pieces | $700 | $14 ea | $22.99 | $2 ea |
| 100 pieces | $1200 | $12 ea | FREE | $2 ea |
Back prints add per piece at the rate shown, dropping to $3 at 25 pieces and $2 at 50. Oversized full body fronts add $3 per piece under 25 pieces and $2 at 25 or more, and sizes 2XL and up add $6 each under 25 pieces or $4 each at 25 or more. Heavier garments follow the same pack structure at their own price points, all shown live in the Design Lab.
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.
Within 24 hours you have a proof in your inbox, drawn to size, on the garment and color you picked. Revisions are unlimited and free.
Production waits for one thing only: your written sign-off on the proof. That signature is the contract for exactly what prints.
Production and shipping run 5 to 7 business days standard. Rush options exist and get quoted honestly against your date.
The specs live in our archive permanently: same art, same colors, same result, on demand.
Every order ships tracked to Long Lake 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.
Boxes get counted twice against the roster before they seal, and the tracking number reaches you the day of pickup. Damage or shortage claims are our expense and our rush.
Best case: vector art (AI, SVG, EPS, PDF). Very good case: a 300 DPI transparent PNG. Worst case: a screenshot, which our designers redraw at no charge anyway.
Deployed addresses are first-class here: APO and FPO ship on the standard timeline, right alongside all 50 states.
Yes, and without giving up your email: the Design Lab keeps the complete total, packs to shipping, on screen while you design.
Standard production plus shipping takes 5 to 7 business days. Rush options are available on many orders, tell us your date and we answer honestly.
Always, at no charge. A designer takes your rough input, redraws it print ready, and has a proof in your inbox inside a day, with unlimited revisions after.
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.
