Custom Design for Stearns: free 24-hour proofs, published pack pricing, and tracked delivery in 5 to 7 business days.
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 Stearns, that comes with published pack pricing and door delivery in 5 to 7 business days.
From one end of Stearns to the other, 4.0 square miles, the shipping promise does not change: 5 to 7 business days, tracked. Nearby crews are already in the coverage circle, with Whitley City, KY (2 mi), Pine Knot, KY (3 mi), Winfield, TN (9 mi) sharing the identical pack rates and timelines. The closest major installation is Fort Knox, roughly 112 miles out, and unit orders from there run through this same process daily.
The whole process runs remote: rough idea in, free designer-built proof back, written approval, and finished gear delivered to Stearns.
Because Whitley City sits only 2 miles from Stearns, joint orders across town lines are common here: one proof, one pack price, two delivery stops if needed.
Crests and emblems built with correct heraldry and licensing rules observed. If a design will not print well at the size you want, you hear that before money changes hands.
Describe it in a sentence; a designer builds it and proofs it within 24 hours. Packs mix garment colors freely, so squads, shifts, or grade levels can each get their own.
The year on the shirt sets the type style, and the team knows the difference. The second order takes two minutes because the first one is archived down to the thread color.
One design system across shirts, banners, and signs so everything matches. The second order takes two minutes because the first one is archived down to the thread color.
A tight little product line, designed to move at the table. Rush timelines get quoted honestly. If we cannot hit the date, we say so before you pay a cent.
The rescue service: old logos rebuilt as clean vector files that print sharp forever. What you approve in writing is what ships. That rule has no exceptions.
Serving the military community is not a marketing line here, it is the operating system. Stearns customers deal with one accountable person, get dates that mean something, and receive work held to a uniform standard.
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.
Start from the garment and the rest follows. Among Stearns customers, these three blanks carry most of the orders, each designable online on its real photos.
Streetwear concepts belong on the 7.5oz max heavyweight with an oversized front or full back. We handle the art, the sizing spread, and the deadline. You handle handing them out.
The proving ground for new art, with an 80-color palette to frame it perfectly. Every price is published before you talk to a person, so the budget math happens on your terms.
Put the design on washed heavyweight cotton and it stops being a shirt and starts being merch. Rush timelines get quoted honestly. If we cannot hit the date, we say so before you pay a cent.
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.
