From single pieces to full crew runs, New Buffalo gets designed from scratch gear with honest pricing and a 5 to 7 day door-to-door timeline.
In-house designers turn napkin sketches and old low-res logos into print-ready vector art. Free with every order, proof in 24 hours. For New Buffalo, that comes with published pack pricing and door delivery in 5 to 7 business days.
Census numbers put New Buffalo at about 1,700 people on 2.5 square miles of Michigan, all of it covered by the same tracked shipping. Nearby crews are already in the coverage circle, with Grand Beach, MI (3 mi), Michiana, MI (4 mi), Michiana Shores, IN (5 mi) sharing the identical pack rates and timelines. For the military community, Naval Station Great Lakes sits about 68 miles away, well inside our normal unit-order routes.
The whole process runs remote: rough idea in, free designer-built proof back, written approval, and finished gear delivered to New Buffalo.
Custom Design demand around New Buffalo does not stop at the town line. Crews from Grand Beach (3 miles out) order through the same process, which is why coverage is priced by pack, never by zip code.
Unit art drawn right the first time, with anything trademark-sensitive flagged early. Nobody chases an order here. Your contact tells you where it stands before you have to ask.
A sentence of description is enough input for a full designed proof inside a day. Start from a napkin sketch if that is what you have. Turning rough into print ready is the job.
The year on the shirt sets the type style, and the team knows the difference. If a design will not print well at the size you want, you hear that before money changes hands.
One design system across shirts, banners, and signs so everything matches. Packs mix garment colors freely, so squads, shifts, or grade levels can each get their own.
A tight little product line, designed to move at the table. Bring a rough idea, even a phone photo of a whiteboard, and our designers make it print ready at no charge.
A phone photo of a faded shirt becomes clean, print-ready vector art. 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. New buffalo 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.
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 New Buffalo customers, these three blanks carry most of the orders, each designable online on its real photos.
The 7.5oz boxy blank is where streetwear concepts land, oversized front or full back. A real designer, not an upload widget, checks every file before it goes near production.
New designs debut on the Classic: 80-plus colors guarantee the right backdrop for the art. Nobody chases an order here. Your contact tells you where it stands before you have to ask.
Serious designs deserve the garment-dyed heavyweight, which reads brand rather than handout. Bring a rough idea, even a phone photo of a whiteboard, and our designers make it print ready at no charge.
The gap between what you have and what a press needs is our designers job to close, free with any order. Whatever the starting point, the output is the same: clean vectors, correct insignia, a proof within 24 hours, and unlimited revisions until you approve it in writing. Only then does anything print.
The Design Lab offers the self-serve path, with your art positioned on real product photos and the total priced as you go.
Budget planning for New Buffalo customers starts with real numbers. This is our light cotton tee pack pricing with the front print already included.
| Pieces | Total | Each | Ship | Back print add |

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.
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.
Production waits for one thing only: your written sign-off on the proof. That signature is the contract for exactly what prints.
Approval to doorstep runs 5 to 7 business days as the default, faster when rush is booked and honestly refused when it cannot be.
Art, thread colors, and size history stay archived, so the next season run starts with one email.
Every order ships tracked to New Buffalo 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.
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.
Our minimum is 10 pieces. Packs for your New Buffalo crew begin at 10, the per piece price falls as the count climbs, and shipping goes free at 100.
