Custom printed in full color gear for Chelsea businesses, schools, teams, churches, and crews. Proofs in 24 hours, delivered in 5 to 7 days.
Full color starting at just 10 pieces. Photographs, gradients, and detailed art on ten shirts or one hundred, on cotton, blends, and polyester. For Chelsea, that comes with published pack pricing and door delivery in 5 to 7 business days.
Chelsea is home to about 5,400 people across 3.6 square miles, and every one of those addresses is inside our standard 5 to 7 day delivery window. If your people are spread out, that is fine: Dexter, MI (7 mi), Grass Lake, MI (10 mi), Pinckney, MI (11 mi) sit close enough that one order can outfit all of them. For the military community, Selfridge Air National Guard Base sits about 61 miles away, well inside our normal unit-order routes.
The whole process runs remote: rough idea in, free designer-built proof back, written approval, and finished gear delivered to Chelsea.
Because Dexter sits only 7 miles from Chelsea, joint orders across town lines are common here: one proof, one pack price, two delivery stops if needed.
Photo shirts reproduce the actual photograph, and memorial timelines get priority. The second order takes two minutes because the first one is archived down to the thread color.
Complex art prints as designed: no color counting, no separations, no upcharge. 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. Ask for the honest option and you get it, even when it is the cheaper one.
One order, many designs: DTG does not care that each shirt is unique. Packs mix garment colors freely, so squads, shifts, or grade levels can each get their own.
Retirement, promotion, and gift runs turned around fast. Reorders match the first run exactly because we keep your art and specs on file.
The small batch is a first-class order here: 10 piece minimum, no screen fees, full color. Youth and adult cuts run side by side in the same pack at the same price structure.
The shop runs on habits borrowed from the people we serve: accountability by name, honest reporting, and deadlines that do not slide. Chelsea customers feel the difference on the first order.
Honesty runs in both directions here. A doomed timeline or a design that will disappoint gets called out early, with an alternative attached.
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.
Garment choice makes or breaks the order. These are the blanks Chelsea customers pick most, all designable online on real product 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. Ask for the honest option and you get it, even when it is the cheaper one.
Photo and memorial prints land on this blank most often, matched from its 80-color range. Deadlines get treated like formation times, not suggestions.
Streetwear proportions and max weight, ready for big full-color prints on both sides. Deadlines get treated like formation times, not suggestions.
The gap between what you have and what a press needs is our designers job to close, free with any order. Whatever the starting point, the output is the same: clean vectors, correct insignia, a proof within 24 hours, and unlimited revisions until you approve it in writing. Only then does anything print.
The Design Lab offers the self-serve path, with your art positioned on real product photos and the total priced as you go.
The table below is the actual price list Chelsea customers order from, light cotton tee, front print included, no asterisks.

Back prints add per piece at the rate shown, dropping to $3 at 25 pieces and $2 at 50. Oversized full body fronts add $3 per piece under 25 pieces and $2 at 25 or more, and sizes 2XL and up add $6 each under 25 pieces or $4 each at 25 or more. Heavier garments follow the same pack structure at their own price points, all shown live in the Design Lab.
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.
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.
Art, thread colors, and size history stay archived, so the next season run starts with one email.
Production plus shipping to Chelsea addresses runs 5 to 7 business days standard, tracked the whole way. Shipping is free at 100 pieces and flat rated below that, exactly as shown in the pricing table above.
Boxes get counted twice against the roster before they seal, and the tracking number reaches you the day of pickup. Damage or shortage claims are our expense and our rush.
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 orders are the specialty, not the exception: hundreds of mixed-size pieces, roster-counted boxes, one accountable contact.
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.
Custom work does not come back: due to custom orders, all work is finalized and no returns are accepted. The protection is up front instead, a free proof that must be approved in writing before anything prints, so check sizing and art carefully at that stage.
Yes, 10 pieces. That is the smallest run we print, packs for your Chelsea crew keep dropping the per piece price from there, and free shipping starts at 100.
File quality is our problem, not yours: vectors are ideal, 300 DPI PNGs work, and weak files get redrawn at no charge.
