Custom printed in full color gear for Alba businesses, schools, teams, churches, and crews. Proofs in 24 hours, delivered in 5 to 7 days.
Alba crews order printed in full color 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 Alba address in 5 to 7 business days.
Alba covers 2.7 square miles of Michigan, and delivery reaches every address in it on the standard 5 to 7 day window. If your people are spread out, that is fine: Lakes of the North, MI (5 mi), Mancelona, MI (7 mi), Bellaire, MI (12 mi) sit close enough that one order can outfit all of them. The closest major installation is Camp Grayling, roughly 26 miles out, and unit orders from there run through this same process daily.
Nothing here needs a storefront. Art goes in by phone or upload, a designer proofs it free, and the shipment lands in Alba counted against your roster.
Because Lakes of the North sits only 5 miles from Alba, joint orders across town lines are common here: one proof, one pack price, two delivery stops if needed.
The small batch is a first-class order here: 10 piece minimum, no screen fees, full color. A real designer, not an upload widget, checks every file before it goes near production.
Memorial pieces print photo-true and move to the front of the schedule. Mixed sizes and colors in one run are standard here, not a special request.
Gradients, photos, and complex art with no per-color charges. Mixed sizes and colors in one run are standard here, not a special request.
Prove the design at 10 pieces, then scale the winner into a screen-printed hundred. Packs mix garment colors freely, so squads, shifts, or grade levels can each get their own.
Every shirt in the box can carry different art at the same per-piece rate. We handle the art, the sizing spread, and the deadline. You handle handing them out.
Retirement, promotion, and gift runs turned around fast. Youth and adult cuts run side by side in the same pack at the same price structure.
We built this company on a simple standard: print it like the name on it matters. For Alba customers, that means honest timelines, real proofs, and no excuses on delivery day.
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.
The right blank depends on budget, season, and how hard the gear will be worn. For Alba customers, these three earn their keep.
Photo and memorial prints land on this blank most often, matched from its 80-color range. Rush timelines get quoted honestly. If we cannot hit the date, we say so before you pay a cent.
Streetwear proportions and max weight, ready for big full-color prints on both sides. Start from a napkin sketch if that is what you have. Turning rough into print ready is the job.
Garment dyed 6.1oz cotton with a washed, premium feel. Full color DTG on this blank looks like retail product, not a print job. A real designer, not an upload widget, checks every file before it goes near production.
Design help is not an upsell here, it is how orders start. Describe the concept in a sentence, attach whatever reference you have, and within 24 hours a real designer returns a proof drawn as clean vectors, era-correct where it matters. Revisions cost nothing and continue until the proof is right, and your written approval is the only thing that sends it to production.
The Design Lab is there when you want to drive: upload, place, and price the design yourself on the exact garment we print.
Here is what Alba customers actually pay, starting from our light cotton tee. Every price includes a standard front print, and the number only moves down as the pack gets bigger.
| Quantity | Pack price | Per shirt | Shipping | Add back print |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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 |
Beyond the table, the only extras are per-piece and public: back prints at the listed rate stepping down to $3 then $2, oversized fronts at $3 dropping to $2, and 2XL-plus at $6 dropping to $4. The Design Lab does this arithmetic for you in real time.
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.
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.
Five to seven business days covers printing and delivery. Tight timeline? Rush gets a truthful quote, not a hopeful one.
Your art and specs stay on file, so reorders match the first run exactly, down to the ink.
Count 5 to 7 business days, production included, for tracked delivery to Alba 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.
Deployed addresses are first-class here: APO and FPO ship on the standard timeline, right alongside all 50 states.
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.
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.
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.
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.
