From single pieces to full crew runs, Turtle Lake gets designed from scratch gear with honest pricing and a 5 to 7 day door-to-door timeline.
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 Turtle Lake, that comes with published pack pricing and door delivery in 5 to 7 business days.
Turtle Lake is home to a community of 537 across 0.5 square miles, and every one of those addresses is inside our standard 5 to 7 day delivery window. Nearby crews are already in the coverage circle, with Mercer, ND (9 mi), Underwood, ND (13 mi), Coleharbor, ND (15 mi) sharing the identical pack rates and timelines. Minot Air Force Base, around 53 miles from Turtle Lake, 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 Turtle Lake counted against your roster.
A typical week of custom design orders from this corner of North Dakota mixes Turtle Lake crews with neighbors like Mercer, 9 miles over, all running through the same designer, the same proof cycle, and the same tracked delivery.
Faded, blurry, or tiny source art gets redrawn into crisp vectors. Deadlines get treated like formation times, not suggestions.
Unit art drawn right the first time, with anything trademark-sensitive flagged early. 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. Rush timelines get quoted honestly. If we cannot hit the date, we say so before you pay a cent.
Typography matched to the era, from Vietnam-period stencil to modern athletic block. If a design will not print well at the size you want, you hear that before money changes hands.
One design system across shirts, banners, and signs so everything matches. The proof comes first and it is free, so what arrives is exactly what you signed off on.
A small collection designed to sell, not just to exist. We handle the art, the sizing spread, and the deadline. You handle handing them out.
The shop runs on habits borrowed from the people we serve: accountability by name, honest reporting, and deadlines that do not slide. Turtle lake 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.
Ninety seconds in the Design Lab gets you a complete number: garment, print, sizes, upcharges, and shipping, all before any contact form.
Garment choice makes or breaks the order. These are the blanks Turtle Lake customers pick most, all designable online on real product photos.
The proving ground for new art, with an 80-color palette to frame it perfectly. Nobody chases an order here. Your contact tells you where it stands before you have to ask.
Serious designs deserve the garment-dyed heavyweight, which reads brand rather than handout. Start from a napkin sketch if that is what you have. Turning rough into print ready is the job.
The 7.5oz boxy blank is where streetwear concepts land, oversized front or full back. Start from a napkin sketch if that is what you have. Turning rough into print ready is the job.
Finished files are welcome but never required. A faded photo, a hand sketch, or three sentences of description all become professional vector art at no charge, proofed back to you within a day. The revision count is unlimited, the approval is in writing, and production does not move an inch until that approval exists.
Hands-on types can skip the wait entirely: the Design Lab puts your art on the actual garment with the price updating live.
Budget planning for Turtle Lake 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 pack | $180 | $18 ea | $18 | $4 ea |
| 15 pack | $250 | $16.67 ea | $18 | $4 ea |
| 20 pack | $320 | $16 ea | $20.99 | $4 ea |
| 25 pack | $375 | $15 ea | $20.99 | $3 ea |
| 50 pack | $700 | $14 ea | $22.99 | $2 ea |
| 100 pack | $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.
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.
The proof arrives inside a day, drawn at print size on your chosen garment and color. Change anything, as often as needed, at no cost.
You approve in writing before production starts. No surprises at the box opening, because you already saw the shirt.
From approval, count 5 to 7 business days to your door. If the event is sooner, ask about rush and get a straight yes or no.
The specs live in our archive permanently: same art, same colors, same result, on demand.
The timeline to Turtle Lake addresses is fixed and published: 5 to 7 business days door to door, production included. Shipping rates are flat, visible in the table, and free from 100 pieces.
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.
Vector files such as AI, SVG, EPS, and PDF are ideal. A 300 DPI PNG with a transparent background also prints clean. If all you have is a screenshot, we redraw it free.
Yes, APO and FPO delivery is standard here, not an exception, and every state in the country ships the same way.
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.
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.
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.
