Custom designed from scratch gear for Mercer businesses, schools, teams, churches, and crews. Proofs in 24 hours, delivered in 5 to 7 days.
Mercer 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 Mercer address in 5 to 7 business days.
Mercer covers 4.5 square miles of Wisconsin, and delivery reaches every address in it on the standard 5 to 7 day window. Nearby crews are already in the coverage circle, with Lac du Flambeau, WI (15 mi), Boulder Junction, WI (19 mi), Pence, WI (20 mi) sharing the identical pack rates and timelines. For the military community, Fort McCoy sits about 158 miles away, well inside our normal unit-order routes.
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 Mercer.
A typical week of custom design orders from this corner of Wisconsin mixes Mercer crews with neighbors like Lac du Flambeau, 15 miles over, all running through the same designer, the same proof cycle, and the same tracked delivery.
Describe it in a sentence; a designer builds it and proofs it within 24 hours. Deadlines get treated like formation times, not suggestions.
The year on the shirt sets the type style, and the team knows the difference. The proof comes first and it is free, so what arrives is exactly what you signed off on.
One design system across shirts, banners, and signs so everything matches. Deadlines get treated like formation times, not suggestions.
A tight little product line, designed to move at the table. Packs mix garment colors freely, so squads, shifts, or grade levels can each get their own.
A phone photo of a faded shirt becomes clean, print-ready vector art. We handle the art, the sizing spread, and the deadline. You handle handing them out.
Unit art drawn right the first time, with anything trademark-sensitive flagged early. One point of contact owns your order from first proof to delivery confirmation.
We built this company on a simple standard: print it like the name on it matters. For Mercer customers, that means honest timelines, real proofs, and no excuses on delivery day.
The same discipline applies inward: an unrealistic date or a design that will not print well gets flagged before you commit, not explained after.
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.
Garment choice makes or breaks the order. These are the blanks Mercer customers pick most, all designable online on real product photos.
The proving ground for new art, with an 80-color palette to frame it perfectly. Packs mix garment colors freely, so squads, shifts, or grade levels can each get their own.
Put the design on washed heavyweight cotton and it stops being a shirt and starts being merch. If a design will not print well at the size you want, you hear that before money changes hands.
The 7.5oz boxy blank is where streetwear concepts land, oversized front or full back. Nobody chases an order here. Your contact tells you where it stands before you have to ask.
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.
Start the budget from the real numbers: published light cotton tee packs, front print built into every figure Mercer customers see.

Three add-ons exist and all are flat per piece: the back print at the table rate ($3 from 25 pieces, $2 from 50), the oversized front at $3 or $2 depending on quantity, and extended sizes at $6 or $4. Nothing else gets added. The Design Lab applies every rule automatically, and the written quote confirms the total before anything is charged.
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.
Nothing goes to press until you approve the proof in writing. What you sign off on is exactly what prints, that is the whole point of the proof.
From approval, count 5 to 7 business days to your door. If the event is sooner, ask about rush and get a straight yes or no.
Art, thread colors, and size history stay archived, so the next season run starts with one email.
Delivery to Mercer addresses follows one simple clock: 5 to 7 business days including production, with tracking from the moment it leaves. Hit 100 pieces and the shipping line drops to zero.
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.
There are no returns on custom orders; once printed, the work is final. That is exactly why production never starts without your written approval of a free proof, and why the size roster deserves a second look before you submit.
Our minimum is 10 pieces. Packs for your Mercer crew begin at 10, the per piece price falls as the count climbs, and shipping goes free at 100.
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.
We do, at the same pace as domestic orders. Deployed and overseas service members at APO and FPO addresses are covered alongside all 50 states.
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.
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.
