From single pieces to full crew runs, Sumter gets designed from scratch gear with honest pricing and a 5 to 7 day door-to-door timeline.
Sumter 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 Sumter address in 5 to 7 business days.
With about 43,000 people spread over 33.0 square miles, Sumter 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: Cherryvale, SC (4 mi), Mulberry, SC (4 mi), Cane Savannah, SC (4 mi) sit close enough that one order can outfit all of them. Shaw Air Force Base, around 0 miles from Sumter, anchors the local military community we print for every week.
Nothing here needs a storefront. Art goes in by phone or upload, a designer proofs it free, and the shipment lands in Sumter counted against your roster.
Custom Design demand around Sumter does not stop at the town line. Crews from Cherryvale (4 miles out) order through the same process, which is why coverage is priced by pack, never by zip code.
Stencil, athletic, and period-correct lettering matched to the year that matters. What you approve in writing is what ships. That rule has no exceptions.
One design system across shirts, banners, and signs so everything matches. A real designer, not an upload widget, checks every file before it goes near production.
A tight little product line, designed to move at the table. The proof comes first and it is free, so what arrives is exactly what you signed off on.
A phone photo of a faded shirt becomes clean, print-ready vector art. Bring a rough idea, even a phone photo of a whiteboard, and our designers make it print ready at no charge.
Crests and emblems built with correct heraldry and licensing rules observed. Youth and adult cuts run side by side in the same pack at the same price structure.
Start with words alone: the design team turns a description into finished art. Start from a napkin sketch if that is what you have. Turning rough into print ready is the job.
Serving the military community is not a marketing line here, it is the operating system. Sumter customers deal with one accountable person, get dates that mean something, and receive work held to a uniform standard.
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.
The Design Lab puts your art on the real garment, takes your size counts, and totals the whole order, shipping included, without asking who you are.
The right blank depends on budget, season, and how hard the gear will be worn. For Sumter customers, these three earn their keep.
The proving ground for new art, with an 80-color palette to frame it perfectly. What you approve in writing is what ships. That rule has no exceptions.
When the design is the product, the garment dyed heavyweight makes it feel like a brand, not a handout. Mixed sizes and colors in one run are standard here, not a special request.
Streetwear concepts belong on the 7.5oz max heavyweight with an oversized front or full back. Packs mix garment colors freely, so squads, shifts, or grade levels can each get their own.
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 Sumter customers starts with real numbers. This is our light cotton tee pack pricing with the front print already included.
| Order size | Pack total | Cost per piece | Freight | Back side |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pack of 10 | $180 | $18 ea | $18 | $4 ea |
| Pack of 15 | $250 | $16.67 ea | $18 | $4 ea |
| Pack of 20 | $320 | $16 ea | $20.99 | $4 ea |
| Pack of 25 | $375 | $15 ea | $20.99 | $3 ea |
| Pack of 50 | $700 | $14 ea | $22.99 | $2 ea |
| Pack of 100 | $1200 | $12 ea | FREE | $2 ea |
Add-on pricing is deliberately boring: back print per the table (later $3, then $2), oversize front $3 or $2 by volume, extended sizes $6 or $4 by volume. That is the complete list, and the Design Lab computes it live before any quote is written.
The first step is just getting the idea out of your head: type it into the quote form or mock it up in the Design Lab, rough edges and all.
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.
Production waits for one thing only: your written sign-off on the proof. That signature is the contract for exactly what prints.
Standard turnaround is 5 to 7 business days from approval to doorstep, with rush available when the calendar demands it.
Art, thread colors, and size history stay archived, so the next season run starts with one email.
Production plus shipping to Sumter addresses runs 5 to 7 business days standard, tracked the whole way. Shipping is free at 100 pieces and flat rated below that, exactly as shown in the pricing table above.
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.
Order ten, order fifty, order five hundred: 10 pieces is our floor, and for your Sumter crew, bigger packs simply pull the per-piece price down.
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.
Yes. We ship to all 50 states and to APO and FPO addresses for deployed and overseas service members.
That is the point of the Design Lab: the complete number, packs, back prints, size upcharges, shipping, updates live while you design, before any contact form.
Standard production plus shipping takes 5 to 7 business days. Rush options are available on many orders, tell us your date and we answer honestly.
Always, at no charge. A designer takes your rough input, redraws it print ready, and has a proof in your inbox inside a day, with unlimited revisions after.
