Custom printed in full color gear for Marathon businesses, schools, teams, churches, and crews. Proofs in 24 hours, delivered in 5 to 7 days.
Marathon 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 Marathon address in 5 to 7 business days.
Marathon covers 0.2 square miles of Ohio, and delivery reaches every address in it on the standard 5 to 7 day window. If your people are spread out, that is fine: Lake Lorelei, OH (4 mi), Fayetteville, OH (5 mi), Williamsburg, OH (6 mi) sit close enough that one order can outfit all of them. The closest major installation is Wright-Patterson AFB, roughly 45 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 Marathon.
A typical week of dtg and dtf printing orders from this corner of Ohio mixes Marathon crews with neighbors like Lake Lorelei, 4 miles over, all running through the same designer, the same proof cycle, and the same tracked delivery.
Prove the design at 10 pieces, then scale the winner into a screen-printed hundred. Mixed sizes and colors in one run are standard here, not a special request.
Every shirt in the box can carry different art at the same per-piece rate. 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. Ask for the honest option and you get it, even when it is the cheaper one.
The small batch is a first-class order here: 10 piece minimum, no screen fees, full color. One point of contact owns your order from first proof to delivery confirmation.
Memorial pieces print photo-true and move to the front of the schedule. Deadlines get treated like formation times, not suggestions.
Complex art prints as designed: no color counting, no separations, no upcharge. 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. Marathon customers feel the difference on the first order.
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.
The right blank depends on budget, season, and how hard the gear will be worn. For Marathon customers, these three earn their keep.
Garment dyed 6.1oz cotton with a washed, premium feel. Full color DTG on this blank looks like retail product, not a print job. Every price is published before you talk to a person, so the budget math happens on your terms.
Photo and memorial prints land on this blank most often, matched from its 80-color range. A real designer, not an upload widget, checks every file before it goes near production.
A 7.5oz boxy streetwear blank built for oversized full color hits front and back. The proof comes first and it is free, so what arrives is exactly what you signed off on.
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 Marathon 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 |
| 100 pack | $1200 | $12 ea | FREE | $2 ea |
Three add-ons exist and all are flat per piece: the back print at the table rate ($3 from 25 pieces, $2 from 50), the oversized front at $3 or $2 depending on quantity, and extended sizes at $6 or $4. Nothing else gets added. The Design Lab applies every rule automatically, and the written quote confirms the total before anything is charged.
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.
The proof arrives inside a day, drawn at print size on your chosen garment and color. Change anything, as often as needed, at no cost.
Nothing goes to press until you approve the proof in writing. What you sign off on is exactly what prints, that is the whole point of the proof.
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.
Every order ships tracked to Marathon addresses with standard production plus shipping at 5 to 7 business days. Free shipping kicks in at 100 pieces, and pack shipping rates below that are published, not surprises at checkout.
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.
The minimum order is 10 pieces. Your marathon crew can order ten today and a hundred next month; the packs just make each piece cheaper as the count grows.
File quality is our problem, not yours: vectors are ideal, 300 DPI PNGs work, and weak files get redrawn at no charge.
Yes. We ship to all 50 states and to APO and FPO addresses for deployed and overseas service members.
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.
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.
