Custom Design for Southern Shores: free 24-hour proofs, published pack pricing, and tracked delivery in 5 to 7 business days.
Southern Shores 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 Southern Shores address in 5 to 7 business days.
Census numbers put Southern Shores at about 3,100 people on 3.9 square miles of North Carolina, all of it covered by the same tracked shipping. The same run covers the neighboring communities too: Kitty Hawk, NC (3 mi), Duck, NC (5 mi), Kill Devil Hills, NC (8 mi) all order from the same shop at the same published pricing. For the military community, Coast Guard Air Station Elizabeth City sits about 31 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 Southern Shores.
A typical week of custom design orders from this corner of North Carolina mixes Southern Shores crews with neighbors like Kitty Hawk, 3 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. Deadlines get treated like formation times, not suggestions.
A single visual system covering everything the event prints. A real designer, not an upload widget, checks every file before it goes near production.
Merch collections designed with selling in mind, not just decoration. Start from a napkin sketch if that is what you have. Turning rough into print ready is the job.
A phone photo of a faded shirt becomes clean, print-ready vector art. Rush timelines get quoted honestly. If we cannot hit the date, we say so before you pay a cent.
Insignia drawn correctly, with trademark rules respected and flagged. One point of contact owns your order from first proof to delivery confirmation.
A sentence of description is enough input for a full designed proof inside a day. Rush timelines get quoted honestly. If we cannot hit the date, we say so before you pay a cent.
The shop runs on habits borrowed from the people we serve: accountability by name, honest reporting, and deadlines that do not slide. Southern shores customers feel the difference on the first order.
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.
The right blank depends on budget, season, and how hard the gear will be worn. For Southern Shores customers, these three earn their keep.
New designs debut on the Classic: 80-plus colors guarantee the right backdrop for the art. 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. Youth and adult cuts run side by side in the same pack at the same price structure.
The 7.5oz boxy blank is where streetwear concepts land, oversized front or full back. One point of contact owns your order from first proof to delivery confirmation.
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.
Budget planning for Southern Shores 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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 |

| 100 pieces | $1200 | $12 ea | FREE | $2 ea |
Back prints add per piece at the rate shown, dropping to $3 at 25 pieces and $2 at 50. Oversized full body fronts add $3 per piece under 25 pieces and $2 at 25 or more, and sizes 2XL and up add $6 each under 25 pieces or $4 each at 25 or more. Heavier garments follow the same pack structure at their own price points, all shown live in the Design Lab.
Two doors in: the quote form if you want a person on it immediately, or the Design Lab if you want to see it on the garment first. Either way, unfinished ideas are the expected input.
One day later the proof is in your inbox: your art, your garment, your colors, at true print scale. Revisions never cost a cent.
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.
The specs live in our archive permanently: same art, same colors, same result, on demand.
Delivery to Southern Shores 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.
Before sealing, every carton is counted against the size roster, and tracking goes out the same day. Anything short or damaged gets replaced at our cost on an expedited timeline.
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.
Large runs are the core business: hundreds of pieces, mixed sizes, multiple colors, one named contact who owns it from first proof to the delivery scan.
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.
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 Southern Shores crew begin at 10, the per piece price falls as the count climbs, and shipping goes free at 100.
