From single pieces to full crew runs, Rib Lake 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 Rib Lake, that comes with published pack pricing and door delivery in 5 to 7 business days.
With a community of 919 spread over 1.7 square miles, Rib Lake gets the same flat delivery promise as everywhere else we serve: 5 to 7 business days to any door. The same run covers the neighboring communities too: Westboro, WI (5 mi), Chelsea, WI (5 mi), Whittlesey, WI (9 mi) all order from the same shop at the same published pricing. For the military community, Fort McCoy sits about 100 miles away, well inside our normal unit-order routes.
Nothing here needs a storefront. Art goes in by phone or upload, a designer proofs it free, and the shipment lands in Rib Lake counted against your roster.
A typical week of custom design orders from this corner of Wisconsin mixes Rib Lake crews with neighbors like Westboro, 5 miles over, all running through the same designer, the same proof cycle, and the same tracked delivery.
Typography matched to the era, from Vietnam-period stencil to modern athletic block. What you approve in writing is what ships. That rule has no exceptions.
Shirts, banners, and signage drawn as one matched system. Mixed sizes and colors in one run are standard here, not a special request.
A small collection designed to sell, not just to exist. Mixed sizes and colors in one run are standard here, not a special request.
A phone photo of a faded shirt becomes clean, print-ready vector art. Mixed sizes and colors in one run are standard here, not a special request.
Crests and emblems built with correct heraldry and licensing rules observed. Bring a rough idea, even a phone photo of a whiteboard, and our designers make it print ready at no charge.
A sentence of description is enough input for a full designed proof inside a day. 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. Rib lake customers get straight answers on dates, a named person on their order, and work we would put our own name on.
That standard cuts both ways. If your art needs work or your timeline is impossible, we tell you up front and offer the fix, because a bad shirt with our print on it costs us more than the order.
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 Rib Lake customers, these three blanks carry most of the orders, each designable online on its real photos.
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. 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. Start from a napkin sketch if that is what you have. Turning rough into print ready is the job.
Half the orders we take begin as a phone photo of a sketch, an old shirt, or a sentence describing the idea. A designer turns that into print-ready vector art at no charge, sends the proof inside 24 hours, and revises it until you sign off in writing. Nothing is produced before that signature, which is why what shows up matches what you expected.

No mystery pricing. These are the published packs on our light cotton tee, front print included, and Rib Lake customers watch the per piece cost fall as quantity climbs.

| 100 pieces | $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.
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.
Twenty-four hours gets you a designer-built proof on the exact blank you chose. Iterate freely until it is right.
Your written approval is the gate. Until it exists, nothing prints; once it exists, exactly that design 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.
Your art and specs stay on file, so reorders match the first run exactly, down to the ink.
Every order ships tracked to Rib 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.
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 Rib Lake crew begin at 10, the per piece price falls as the count climbs, and shipping goes free at 100.
