From single pieces to full crew runs, Maquoketa gets designed from scratch gear with honest pricing and a 5 to 7 day door-to-door timeline.
Maquoketa 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 Maquoketa address in 5 to 7 business days.
Census numbers put Maquoketa at about 6,100 people on 4.5 square miles of Iowa, all of it covered by the same tracked shipping. The same run covers the neighboring communities too: Delmar, IA (5 mi), Andrew, IA (7 mi), Baldwin, IA (9 mi) all order from the same shop at the same published pricing. Rock Island Arsenal, around 41 miles from Maquoketa, anchors the local military community we print for every week.
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 Maquoketa.
A typical week of custom design orders from this corner of Iowa mixes Maquoketa crews with neighbors like Delmar, 5 miles over, all running through the same designer, the same proof cycle, and the same tracked delivery.
The rescue service: old logos rebuilt as clean vector files that print sharp forever. What you approve in writing is what ships. That rule has no exceptions.
Insignia drawn correctly, with trademark rules respected and flagged. Bring a rough idea, even a phone photo of a whiteboard, and our designers make it print ready at no charge.
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.
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. What you approve in writing is what ships. That rule has no exceptions.
Merch collections designed with selling in mind, not just decoration. Deadlines get treated like formation times, not suggestions.
Serving the military community is not a marketing line here, it is the operating system. Maquoketa customers deal with one accountable person, get dates that mean something, and receive work held to a uniform standard.
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.
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.
Start from the garment and the rest follows. Among Maquoketa customers, these three blanks carry most of the orders, each designable online on its real photos.
Serious designs deserve the garment-dyed heavyweight, which reads brand rather than handout. Start from a napkin sketch if that is what you have. Turning rough into print ready is the job.
Max weight, boxy drop, oversized print field: the streetwear formula. If a design will not print well at the size you want, you hear that before money changes hands.
New designs debut on the Classic: 80-plus colors guarantee the right backdrop for the art. Ask for the honest option and you get it, even when it is the cheaper one.
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 Maquoketa customers watch the per piece cost fall as quantity climbs.
| Pieces | Total | Each | Ship | Back print add |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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 100 | $1200 | $12 ea | FREE | $2 ea |
Options price per piece: back prints at the listed rate (falling to $3 at 25 and $2 at 50), oversized full-body fronts at $3 under 25 pieces or $2 above, and 2XL-plus sizes at $6 under 25 pieces or $4 above. Every heavier garment keeps this same pack shape at its own numbers, and the Design Lab totals it live while you build.
Send the idea through the quote form or build it yourself in the Design Lab. A napkin sketch photographed on a phone counts, our designers have built full unit runs from less.
The proof arrives inside a day, drawn at print size on your chosen garment and color. Change anything, as often as needed, at no cost.
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.
We archive your art and garment specs, which makes the second order a two minute conversation.
Every order ships tracked to Maquoketa 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.
The roster is the packing list: every size counted into the box, tracking issued at pickup, and any shortage or transit damage made right at our cost without argument.
Completely. Build the design in the Design Lab and the full order total sits on screen the whole time; no email, no call, no waiting.
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.
Large orders are the specialty, not the exception: hundreds of mixed-size pieces, roster-counted boxes, one accountable contact.
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.
Custom work does not come back: due to custom orders, all work is finalized and no returns are accepted. The protection is up front instead, a free proof that must be approved in writing before anything prints, so check sizing and art carefully at that stage.
Our minimum is 10 pieces. Packs for your Maquoketa crew begin at 10, the per piece price falls as the count climbs, and shipping goes free at 100.
