From single pieces to full crew runs, Kotzebue gets printed in full color gear with honest pricing and a 5 to 7 day door-to-door timeline.
Kotzebue 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 Kotzebue address in 5 to 7 business days.
With about 3,000 people spread over 24.8 square miles, Kotzebue gets the same flat delivery promise as everywhere else we serve: 5 to 7 business days to any door. If your people are spread out, that is fine: Noorvik, AK (40 mi), Noatak, AK (51 mi), Deering, AK (56 mi) sit close enough that one order can outfit all of them. The closest major installation is Fort Wainwright, roughly 442 miles out, and unit orders from there run through this same process daily.
The whole process runs remote: rough idea in, free designer-built proof back, written approval, and finished gear delivered to Kotzebue.
Because Noorvik sits only 40 miles from Kotzebue, joint orders across town lines are common here: one proof, one pack price, two delivery stops if needed.
A 10 piece run prints at published pack pricing, in full color, with zero setup. Reorders match the first run exactly because we keep your art and specs on file.
Memorial pieces print photo-true and move to the front of the schedule. What you approve in writing is what ships. That rule has no exceptions.
Complex art prints as designed: no color counting, no separations, no upcharge. The second order takes two minutes because the first one is archived down to the thread color.
Test a design with 10 pieces before committing to a 100-piece screen print run. Packs mix garment colors freely, so squads, shifts, or grade levels can each get their own.
Different art per shirt in the same order, priced per piece. Youth and adult cuts run side by side in the same pack at the same price structure.
When the retirement is Friday, rush printing exists for exactly this. What you approve in writing is what ships. That rule has no exceptions.
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 Kotzebue 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.
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 Kotzebue customers pick most, all designable online on real product photos.
The boxy 7.5oz cut made for oversized color, front and back. What you approve in writing is what ships. That rule has no exceptions.
The premium pairing: washed heavyweight cotton plus full-color DTG equals shelf-ready product. The proof comes first and it is free, so what arrives is exactly what you signed off on.
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.
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.
Start the budget from the real numbers: published light cotton tee packs, front print built into every figure Kotzebue customers see.

Every heavier garment keeps this same pack shape at its own numbers, and the Design Lab totals it live while you build.
Start in the Design Lab on the exact garment we print, or send whatever you have through the quote form. Rough ideas are welcome, that is what the free design service is for.
Within 24 hours you have a proof in your inbox, drawn to size, on the garment and color you picked. Revisions are unlimited and free.
Production waits for one thing only: your written sign-off on the proof. That signature is the contract for exactly what prints.
Five to seven business days covers printing and delivery. Tight timeline? Rush gets a truthful quote, not a hopeful one.
Everything about the run gets archived, which turns every future reorder into a one-line email.
Delivery to Kotzebue 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.
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.
Absolutely. Bulk is where pack pricing shines, and big mixed-size runs ship counted against your roster with a single person accountable for the date.
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.
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.
Yes, 10 pieces. That is the smallest run we print, packs for your Kotzebue crew keep dropping the per piece price from there, and free shipping starts at 100.
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.
