Custom designed from scratch gear for Thebes businesses, schools, teams, churches, and crews. Proofs in 24 hours, delivered in 5 to 7 days.
Thebes 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 Thebes address in 5 to 7 business days.
Census numbers put Thebes at a community of 186 on 1.7 square miles of Illinois, all of it covered by the same tracked shipping. If your people are spread out, that is fine: Commerce, MO (4 mi), Scott City, MO (5 mi), Kelso, MO (6 mi) sit close enough that one order can outfit all of them. Scott Air Force Base, around 95 miles from Thebes, 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 Thebes counted against your roster.
Custom Design demand around Thebes does not stop at the town line. Crews from Commerce (4 miles out) order through the same process, which is why coverage is priced by pack, never by zip code.
Merch collections designed with selling in mind, not just decoration. One point of contact owns your order from first proof to delivery confirmation.
Faded, blurry, or tiny source art gets redrawn into crisp vectors. Every price is published before you talk to a person, so the budget math happens on your terms.
Crests and emblems built with correct heraldry and licensing rules observed. Packs mix garment colors freely, so squads, shifts, or grade levels can each get their own.
Describe it in a sentence; a designer builds it and proofs it within 24 hours. Start from a napkin sketch if that is what you have. Turning rough into print ready is the job.
The year on the shirt sets the type style, and the team knows the difference. Nobody chases an order here. Your contact tells you where it stands before you have to ask.
Shirts, banners, and signage drawn as one matched system. 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. Thebes customers feel the difference on the first order.
Part of the job is refusing bad orders. When the art, the garment, or the date is wrong, saying so before you pay is the service.
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 Thebes customers, these three blanks carry most of the orders, each designable online on its real photos.
When the design is the product, the garment dyed heavyweight makes it feel like a brand, not a handout. 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. Nobody chases an order here. Your contact tells you where it stands before you have to ask.
The proving ground for new art, with an 80-color palette to frame it perfectly. Youth and adult cuts run side by side in the same pack at the same price structure.
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.
Start the budget from the real numbers: published light cotton tee packs, front print built into every figure Thebes customers see.

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.
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.
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.
Five to seven business days covers printing and delivery. Tight timeline? Rush gets a truthful quote, not a hopeful one.
Everything about the run gets archived, which turns every future reorder into a one-line email.
Count 5 to 7 business days, production included, for tracked delivery to Thebes addresses. At 100 pieces shipping costs nothing; under that, the flat rates in the table are the whole story.
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.
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.
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.
Yes, 10 pieces. That is the smallest run we print, packs for your Thebes crew keep dropping the per piece price from there, and free shipping starts at 100.
