Saluda orders custom gear here because the pricing is published, the proof is free, and delivery to North Carolina runs 5 to 7 business days flat.
Saluda does not need a local print shop to get local-quality gear. Design online, approve a free proof from a real designer within 24 hours, and delivery lands at any Saluda address in 5 to 7 business days.
Census numbers put Saluda at a community of 643 on 1.6 square miles of North Carolina, all of it covered by the same tracked shipping. The same run covers the neighboring communities too: East Flat Rock, NC (5 mi), Dana, NC (6 mi), Flat Rock, NC (6 mi) all order from the same shop at the same published pricing. For the military community, Fort Jackson sits about 116 miles away, well inside our normal unit-order routes.
The North Carolina military community orders here too: unit and family gear for Fort Liberty and Camp Lejeune, plus every recruiter, Guard unit, and veteran org chapter around Saluda.
The workhorse method: thick ink, bulk pricing, hundreds of washes.
Stitched logos for hats, polos, and jackets that read professional up close.
Full color small runs from just 10 pieces.
Edge-to-edge jerseys and performance gear with print in the fibers.
13oz vinyl banners and signs sized to be read at distance.
A real designer builds your art before anything prints.
Shop shirts and stitched caps that make a small crew read like an established company. Rush timelines get quoted honestly. If we cannot hit the date, we say so before you pay a cent.
Volunteer shirts and festival gear for the days the whole community shows up. The proof comes first and it is free, so what arrives is exactly what you signed off on.
Mission trip tees and congregation gear at pack rates a committee can approve. One point of contact owns your order from first proof to delivery confirmation.
5K tees, tournament shirts, and memorial fundraiser runs delivered before event day. The second order takes two minutes because the first one is archived down to the thread color.
Team shirts, fan tees, and booster fundraisers with youth and adult sizes mixed in one pack. Packs mix garment colors freely, so squads, shifts, or grade levels can each get their own.
PTA runs, field day tees, and club shirts proofed free and priced by the pack before the order form goes home. We handle the art, the sizing spread, and the deadline. You handle handing them out.
Serving the military community is not a marketing line here, it is the operating system. Saluda customers deal with one accountable person, get dates that mean something, and receive work held to a uniform standard.
The same discipline applies inward: an unrealistic date or a design that will not print well gets flagged before you commit, not explained after.
Ninety seconds in the Design Lab gets you a complete number: garment, print, sizes, upcharges, and shipping, all before any contact form.
Garment choice makes or breaks the order. These are the blanks Saluda customers pick most, all designable online on real product photos.
The default unit shirt: heavy cotton, an 80-color palette, and a fit that survives the wash cycle. Mixed sizes and colors in one run are standard here, not a special request.
For big front art, nothing beats this 8.0oz crew with its uninterrupted printing field. Bring a rough idea, even a phone photo of a whiteboard, and our designers make it print ready at no charge.
When the count is high, this 4.5oz ringspun blank keeps the math friendly: $12 a shirt at volume, front print included. The proof comes first and it is free, so what arrives is exactly what you signed off on.
Finished files are welcome but never required. A faded photo, a hand sketch, or three sentences of description all become professional vector art at no charge, proofed back to you within a day. The revision count is unlimited, the approval is in writing, and production does not move an inch until that approval exists.
Hands-on types can skip the wait entirely: the Design Lab puts your art on the actual garment with the price updating live.
Start the budget from the real numbers: published light cotton tee packs, front print built into every figure Saluda customers see.

The first step is just getting the idea out of your head: type it into the quote form or mock it up in the Design Lab, rough edges and all.
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.
Standard turnaround is 5 to 7 business days from approval to doorstep, with rush available when the calendar demands it.
Your art and specs stay on file, so reorders match the first run exactly, down to the ink.
Delivery to Saluda 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.
Every box leaves counted, tracked, and matched to your roster. Shortages and shipping damage are on us to fix, fast, because delivery day is the only day the customer remembers.
Yes. We ship to all 50 states and to APO and FPO addresses for deployed and overseas service members.
That is the point of the Design Lab: the complete number, packs, back prints, size upcharges, shipping, updates live while you design, before any contact form.
Standard production plus shipping takes 5 to 7 business days. Rush options are available on many orders, tell us your date and we answer honestly.
Always, at no charge. A designer takes your rough input, redraws it print ready, and has a proof in your inbox inside a day, with unlimited revisions after.
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.
Simple math: 2XL and up cost $6 more per piece on small orders and $4 more per piece from 25 pieces. No other size fees exist, and the Design Lab totals it live.
Finality is the nature of custom work: no returns once it prints. Your protections live earlier in the process, in the free proof and the written approval that nothing skips.
