From single pieces to full crew runs, Portage gets printed in full color gear with honest pricing and a 5 to 7 day door-to-door timeline.
Portage 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 Portage address in 5 to 7 business days.
With about 49,000 people spread over 32.3 square miles, Portage 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: Kalamazoo, MI (5 mi), Vicksburg, MI (6 mi), Schoolcraft, MI (6 mi) sit close enough that one order can outfit all of them. For the military community, Grissom Air Reserve Base sits about 102 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 Portage counted against your roster.
Because Kalamazoo sits only 5 miles from Portage, 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. Reorders match the first run exactly because we keep your art and specs on file.
Photographs print exactly as shot, handled with the care these orders deserve. 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. Mixed sizes and colors in one run are standard here, not a special request.
Test a design with 10 pieces before committing to a 100-piece screen print run. Ask for the honest option and you get it, even when it is the cheaper one.
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. Start from a napkin sketch if that is what you have. Turning rough into print ready is the job.
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 Portage customers call, a person who owns the order answers.
The same discipline applies inward: an unrealistic date or a design that will not print well gets flagged before you commit, not explained after.
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.
The right blank depends on budget, season, and how hard the gear will be worn. For Portage customers, these three earn their keep.
The boxy 7.5oz cut made for oversized color, front and back. Bring a rough idea, even a phone photo of a whiteboard, and our designers make it print ready at no charge.
Garment dyed 6.1oz cotton with a washed, premium feel. Full color DTG on this blank looks like retail product, not a print job. We handle the art, the sizing spread, and the deadline. You handle handing them out.
The reliable choice for photo prints and memorial pieces, with 80 plus colors to match any design. The second order takes two minutes because the first one is archived down to the thread color.
Most orders here start without finished artwork, and that is fine. Our in-house designers redraw low resolution logos as clean vectors, build new designs from a written description, and match era-correct type and insignia when the design calls for it. The service costs nothing with an order, the first proof lands within 24 hours, and revisions are unlimited. You approve the final art in writing before production, so the shirt that arrives is the shirt you signed off on.
Want to try it yourself first? The Design Lab lets you upload art, add text in stencil and athletic fonts, and position everything on the exact garment with live pricing the whole time.
Start the budget from the real numbers: published light cotton tee packs, front print built into every figure Portage customers see.

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.

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.

Delivery to Portage 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.
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.
