Del Mar orders custom gear here because the pricing is published, the proof is free, and delivery to California runs 5 to 7 business days flat.
Del Mar does not need a local print shop to get local-quality gear. Design online, approve a free proof from a real designer within 24 hours, and delivery lands at any Del Mar address in 5 to 7 business days.
Census numbers put Del Mar at about 3,900 people on 1.7 square miles of California, all of it covered by the same tracked shipping. Nearby crews are already in the coverage circle, with Solana Beach, CA (2 mi), Fairbanks Ranch, CA (5 mi), Rancho Santa Fe, CA (6 mi) sharing the identical pack rates and timelines. The closest major installation is MCRD San Diego, roughly 13 miles out, and unit orders from there run through this same process daily.
The California military community orders here too: unit and family gear for Camp Pendleton and MCRD San Diego, plus every recruiter, Guard unit, and veteran org chapter around Del Mar.
The bulk-run classic: pressed ink, published packs, proven durability.
Thread instead of ink: caps, polos, and outerwear with permanent texture.
No screens, no setup fee: full-color small runs from 10 pieces.
The all-over method: dye becomes part of the polyester itself.
Weatherproof vinyl, hemmed and grommeted, readable across a lot.
A real designer builds your art before anything prints.
The civic calendar runs on volunteers, and volunteers run better in matching shirts. Rush timelines get quoted honestly. If we cannot hit the date, we say so before you pay a cent.
Mission trip tees and congregation gear at pack rates a committee can approve. Deadlines get treated like formation times, not suggestions.
Race shirts and tournament gear that arrive before the starting gun, guaranteed honestly. Packs mix garment colors freely, so squads, shifts, or grade levels can each get their own.
League jerseys and fan gear where kid and parent sizes share one pack price. The second order takes two minutes because the first one is archived down to the thread color.
Field day, clubs, and spirit weeks, all proofed free with pack pricing the treasurer can verify. The proof comes first and it is free, so what arrives is exactly what you signed off on.
Uniform tees, embroidered caps and polos, and workwear that survives the job. Bring a rough idea, even a phone photo of a whiteboard, and our designers make it print ready at no charge.
This shop exists for the military community, and it shows in how orders run. Deadlines are treated like formation times, proofs are honest instead of optimistic, and when Del Mar customers call, a person who owns the order answers.
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.
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 Del Mar customers, these three earn their keep.
When the count is high, this 4.5oz ringspun blank keeps the math friendly: $12 a shirt at volume, front print included. Start from a napkin sketch if that is what you have. Turning rough into print ready is the job.
The standard. 5.3oz heavy cotton in more than 80 colors including military green, sand, and every heather. Holds shape wash after wash. Mixed sizes and colors in one run are standard here, not a special request.
The clean-front fleece crew: 8.0oz, no pocket, no hood, maximum canvas for crests and block letters. Nobody chases an order here. Your contact tells you where it stands before you have to ask.
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 Del Mar 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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 |

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.
Kick it off however suits you: describe the concept in the quote form or drop your art straight into the Design Lab. Polish is not required at this stage.
A real designer, not an algorithm, sends your proof within 24 hours. You change it as many times as it takes to be right.
The press does not move without your written yes. It is the single checkpoint that makes the no-returns policy fair.
Approval to doorstep runs 5 to 7 business days as the default, faster when rush is booked and honestly refused when it cannot be.
We archive your art and garment specs, which makes the second order a two minute conversation.
Delivery to Del Mar 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.
Orders ship boxed and counted against your size roster, with tracking sent the day they leave. If anything arrives short or damaged, photograph it and send it over, and we correct it at our cost.
Yes, APO and FPO delivery is standard here, not an exception, and every state in the country ships the same way.
Yes, and without giving up your email: the Design Lab keeps the complete total, packs to shipping, on screen while you design.
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.
Large orders are the specialty, not the exception: hundreds of mixed-size pieces, roster-counted boxes, one accountable contact.
Extended sizes carry a flat per-piece add: $6 when the order is under 25 pieces, $4 once it reaches 25. The estimate in the Design Lab applies it for you.
