Custom shirts delivered to Merced

Crews in Merced order from us the same way the big-city ones do: published pack pricing, free design help, and a written proof before a single shirt prints.

Merced is home to about 94,000 people across 23.3 square miles, and every one of those addresses is inside our standard 5 to 7 day delivery window. The same run covers the neighboring communities too: Franklin, CA (3 mi), Bear Creek, CA (3 mi), University of California-Merced, CA (5 mi) all order from the same shop at the same published pricing. The closest major installation is Naval Air Station Lemoore, roughly 79 miles out, and unit orders from there run through this same process daily.

The California military community orders here too: unit and family gear for Camp Pendleton and MCRD San Diego, plus every recruiter, Guard unit, and veteran org chapter around Merced.

What Merced orders most

HOA, civic, and community events

Volunteer shirts and festival gear for the days the whole community shows up. We handle the art, the sizing spread, and the deadline. You handle handing them out.

Church and service group shirts

Service group shirts, from food drives to youth retreats, priced openly by the pack. Youth and adult cuts run side by side in the same pack at the same price structure.

Runs, tournaments, and fundraisers

5K tees, tournament shirts, and memorial fundraiser runs delivered before event day. A real designer, not an upload widget, checks every file before it goes near production.

Youth sports and booster gear

League jerseys and fan gear where kid and parent sizes share one pack price. The proof comes first and it is free, so what arrives is exactly what you signed off on.

School spirit wear

PTA runs, field day tees, and club shirts proofed free and priced by the pack before the order form goes home. Bring a rough idea, even a phone photo of a whiteboard, and our designers make it print ready at no charge.

Small business and crew apparel

Uniform tees, embroidered caps and polos, and workwear that survives the job. Mixed sizes and colors in one run are standard here, not a special request.

Why order from a shop built for the military community

Serving the military community is not a marketing line here, it is the operating system. Merced customers deal with one accountable person, get dates that mean something, and receive work held to a uniform standard.

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.

See your exact price in about ninety seconds.

The Design Lab puts your art on the real garment, takes your size counts, and totals the whole order, shipping included, without asking who you are.

What to print it on

Start from the garment and the rest follows. Among Merced customers, these three blanks carry most of the orders, each designable online on its real photos.

Crewneck Sweatshirt

An 8.0oz fleece crew with a clean uninterrupted front, the best canvas we stock for big crests and old school block lettering. Packs mix garment colors freely, so squads, shifts, or grade levels can each get their own.

Essential Light Tee

When the count is high, this 4.5oz ringspun blank keeps the math friendly: $12 a shirt at volume, front print included. The second order takes two minutes because the first one is archived down to the thread color.

Classic Cotton Tee

The standard. 5.3oz heavy cotton in more than 80 colors including military green, sand, and every heather. Holds shape wash after wash. Packs mix garment colors freely, so squads, shifts, or grade levels can each get their own.

From rough idea to press-ready

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.

02

Proof

One day later the proof is in your inbox: your art, your garment, your colors, at true print scale. Revisions never cost a cent.

05

Reorder

Everything about the run gets archived, which turns every future reorder into a one-line email.

The timeline to Merced addresses is fixed and published: 5 to 7 business days door to door, production included. Shipping rates are flat, visible in the table, and free from 100 pieces.

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.

Common questions

Do you ship to APO and FPO addresses?

Deployed addresses are first-class here: APO and FPO ship on the standard timeline, right alongside all 50 states.

Can I see the price before I talk to anyone?

Sizes 2XL and up add $6 per piece under 25 total pieces, or $4 per piece at 25 or more. The Design Lab includes it in your estimate automatically.
