Custom printed in full color gear for Ames businesses, schools, teams, churches, and crews. Proofs in 24 hours, delivered in 5 to 7 days.
Ames 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 Ames address in 5 to 7 business days.
Ames covers 0.3 square miles of Nebraska, and delivery reaches every address in it on the standard 5 to 7 day window. If your people are spread out, that is fine: Cedar Bluffs, NE (4 mi), Inglewood, NE (7 mi), Fremont, NE (7 mi) sit close enough that one order can outfit all of them. For the military community, Offutt Air Force Base sits about 42 miles away, well inside our normal unit-order routes.
Nothing here needs a storefront. Art goes in by phone or upload, a designer proofs it free, and the shipment lands in Ames counted against your roster.
Because Cedar Bluffs sits only 4 miles from Ames, joint orders across town lines are common here: one proof, one pack price, two delivery stops if needed.
Every shirt in the box can carry different art at the same per-piece rate. One point of contact owns your order from first proof to delivery confirmation.
When the retirement is Friday, rush printing exists for exactly this. A real designer, not an upload widget, checks every file before it goes near production.
Ten shirts print at a fair small-run price: full color, no screens, no setup fee. Ask for the honest option and you get it, even when it is the cheaper one.
Photo shirts reproduce the actual photograph, and memorial timelines get priority. Nobody chases an order here. Your contact tells you where it stands before you have to ask.
Unlimited colors at one price, so gradients and photo art cost nothing extra. Nobody chases an order here. Your contact tells you where it stands before you have to ask.
Small batches derisk merch: print ten, sell ten, then commit big. Every price is published before you talk to a person, so the budget math happens on your terms.
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 Ames 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.
Ninety seconds in the Design Lab gets you a complete number: garment, print, sizes, upcharges, and shipping, all before any contact form.
Start from the garment and the rest follows. Among Ames customers, these three blanks carry most of the orders, each designable online on its real photos.
Garment dyed 6.1oz cotton with a washed, premium feel. Full color DTG on this blank looks like retail product, not a print job. One point of contact owns your order from first proof to delivery confirmation.
Eighty colors deep, this is the dependable canvas for photographic and memorial work. Rush timelines get quoted honestly. If we cannot hit the date, we say so before you pay a cent.
The boxy 7.5oz cut made for oversized color, front and back. Rush timelines get quoted honestly. If we cannot hit the date, we say so before you pay a cent.
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 Ames customers see.
| Quantity | Pack price | Per shirt | Shipping | Add back print |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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.
Send the idea through the quote form or build it yourself in the Design Lab. A napkin sketch photographed on a phone counts, our designers have built full unit runs from less.
One day later the proof is in your inbox: your art, your garment, your colors, at true print scale. Revisions never cost a cent.
Your written approval is the gate. Until it exists, nothing prints; once it exists, exactly that design prints.
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.
Art, thread colors, and size history stay archived, so the next season run starts with one email.
Delivery to Ames 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.
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.
Simple math: 2XL and up cost $6 more per piece on small orders and $4 more per piece from 25 pieces. No other size fees exist, and the Design Lab totals it live.
Finality is the nature of custom work: no returns once it prints. Your protections live earlier in the process, in the free proof and the written approval that nothing skips.
The minimum order is 10 pieces. Your ames crew can order ten today and a hundred next month; the packs just make each piece cheaper as the count grows.
Best case: vector art (AI, SVG, EPS, PDF). Very good case: a 300 DPI transparent PNG. Worst case: a screenshot, which our designers redraw at no charge anyway.
Deployed addresses are first-class here: APO and FPO ship on the standard timeline, right alongside all 50 states.
Completely. Build the design in the Design Lab and the full order total sits on screen the whole time; no email, no call, no waiting.
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.
