Custom Design for Shipman: free 24-hour proofs, published pack pricing, and tracked delivery in 5 to 7 business days.
Shipman 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 Shipman address in 5 to 7 business days.
With a community of 502 spread over 1.3 square miles, Shipman gets the same flat delivery promise as everywhere else we serve: 5 to 7 business days to any door. If your people are spread out, that is fine: Royal Lakes, IL (5 mi), Medora, IL (6 mi), Fidelity, IL (7 mi) sit close enough that one order can outfit all of them. For the military community, Scott Air Force Base sits about 42 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 Shipman counted against your roster.
Custom Design demand around Shipman does not stop at the town line. Crews from Royal Lakes (5 miles out) order through the same process, which is why coverage is priced by pack, never by zip code.
A single visual system covering everything the event prints. Nobody chases an order here. Your contact tells you where it stands before you have to ask.
A tight little product line, designed to move at the table. Start from a napkin sketch if that is what you have. Turning rough into print ready is the job.
Faded, blurry, or tiny source art gets redrawn into crisp vectors. Deadlines get treated like formation times, not suggestions.
Insignia drawn correctly, with trademark rules respected and flagged. 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. Deadlines get treated like formation times, not suggestions.
Stencil, athletic, and period-correct lettering matched to the year that matters. Reorders match the first run exactly because we keep your art and specs on file.
The shop runs on habits borrowed from the people we serve: accountability by name, honest reporting, and deadlines that do not slide. Shipman customers feel the difference on the first order.
Honesty runs in both directions here. A doomed timeline or a design that will disappoint gets called out early, with an alternative attached.
Ninety seconds in the Design Lab gets you a complete number: garment, print, sizes, upcharges, and shipping, all before any contact form.
The right blank depends on budget, season, and how hard the gear will be worn. For Shipman customers, these three earn their keep.
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.
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.
The proving ground for new art, with an 80-color palette to frame it perfectly. 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.

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.
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.
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.
The press does not move without your written yes. It is the single checkpoint that makes the no-returns policy fair.
Production and shipping run 5 to 7 business days standard. Rush options exist and get quoted honestly against your date.
Art, thread colors, and size history stay archived, so the next season run starts with one email.
Delivery to Shipman 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.
Every box leaves counted, tracked, and matched to your roster. Shortages and shipping damage are on us to fix, fast, because delivery day is the only day the customer remembers.
Count 5 to 7 business days from approval to doorstep, production included. Tighter date? Ask about rush and you get a straight answer before paying.
Included with every order: a designer turns whatever you send into print-ready art, proofs it within 24 hours, and revises free until approved.
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.
Sizes 2XL and up add $6 per piece under 25 total pieces, or $4 per piece at 25 or more. The Design Lab includes it in your estimate automatically.
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.
The minimum order is 10 pieces. Your shipman crew can order ten today and a hundred next month; the packs just make each piece cheaper as the count grows.
Send whatever exists. Vectors print perfectly, high resolution PNGs print clean, and anything below that gets redrawn free by the design team before it goes near a press.
