From single pieces to full crew runs, Melville gets designed from scratch gear with honest pricing and a 5 to 7 day door-to-door timeline.
Melville 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 Melville address in 5 to 7 business days.
All 12.1 square miles of Melville sit inside our normal delivery map, tracked door to door. Nearby crews are already in the coverage circle, with Wheatley Heights, NY (2 mi), South Huntington, NY (3 mi), West Hills, NY (3 mi) sharing the identical pack rates and timelines. West Point, around 51 miles from Melville, 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 Melville.
A typical week of custom design orders from this corner of New York mixes Melville crews with neighbors like Wheatley Heights, 2 miles over, all running through the same designer, the same proof cycle, and the same tracked delivery.
Unit art drawn right the first time, with anything trademark-sensitive flagged early. Reorders match the first run exactly because we keep your art and specs on file.
Describe it in a sentence; a designer builds it and proofs it within 24 hours. Every price is published before you talk to a person, so the budget math happens on your terms.
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.
A single visual system covering everything the event prints. We handle the art, the sizing spread, and the deadline. You handle handing them out.
A small collection designed to sell, not just to exist. Ask for the honest option and you get it, even when it is the cheaper one.
Faded, blurry, or tiny source art gets redrawn into crisp vectors. One point of contact owns your order from first proof to delivery confirmation.
Serving the military community is not a marketing line here, it is the operating system. Melville customers deal with one accountable person, get dates that mean something, and receive work held to a uniform standard.
It also means we say no when we should. If a design will not print well at the size you want, or a date cannot be hit, you hear it before you spend money, not after.
Ninety seconds in the Design Lab gets you a complete number: garment, print, sizes, upcharges, and shipping, all before any contact form.
Start from the garment and the rest follows. Among Melville 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. If a design will not print well at the size you want, you hear that before money changes hands.
Max weight, boxy drop, oversized print field: the streetwear formula. Deadlines get treated like formation times, not suggestions.
New designs debut on the Classic: 80-plus colors guarantee the right backdrop for the art. One point of contact owns your order from first proof to delivery confirmation.
Most orders here start without finished artwork, and that is fine. Our in-house designers redraw low resolution logos as clean vectors, build new designs from a written description, and match era-correct type and insignia when the design calls for it. The service costs nothing with an order, the first proof lands within 24 hours, and revisions are unlimited. You approve the final art in writing before production, so the shirt that arrives is the shirt you signed off on.
Want to try it yourself first? The Design Lab lets you upload art, add text in stencil and athletic fonts, and position everything on the exact garment with live pricing the whole time.
Budget planning for Melville customers starts with real numbers. This is our light cotton tee pack pricing with the front print already included.
| 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 |
Add-on pricing is deliberately boring: back print per the table (later $3, then $2), oversize front $3 or $2 by volume, extended sizes $6 or $4 by volume. That is the complete list, and the Design Lab computes it live before any quote is written.
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.
You approve in writing before production starts. No surprises at the box opening, because you already saw the shirt.
Approval to doorstep runs 5 to 7 business days as the default, faster when rush is booked and honestly refused when it cannot be.
We archive your art and garment specs, which makes the second order a two minute conversation.
Count 5 to 7 business days, production included, for tracked delivery to Melville addresses. At 100 pieces shipping costs nothing; under that, the flat rates in the table are the whole story.
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.
The standard clock is 5 to 7 business days covering both production and delivery. Many orders can run faster; name the date and we will confirm or decline honestly.
Yes, and it costs nothing with your order. Send a sketch, an old logo, or just the idea, and a designer sends a print ready proof within 24 hours.
Yes. Runs in the hundreds of pieces with mixed sizes and colors are our normal work, managed by one point of contact from proof to delivery.
The extended-size rule fits in one line: add $6 per piece below 25 total, $4 per piece at 25 or more. The Design Lab applies it automatically.
Finality is the nature of custom work: no returns once it prints. Your protections live earlier in the process, in the free proof and the written approval that nothing skips.
The minimum order is 10 pieces. Your melville crew can order ten today and a hundred next month; the packs just make each piece cheaper as the count grows.
