From single pieces to full crew runs, Cambridge gets screen printed gear with honest pricing and a 5 to 7 day door-to-door timeline.
Cambridge crews order screen printed 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 Cambridge address in 5 to 7 business days.
Census numbers put Cambridge at about 2,000 people on 2.0 square miles of Illinois, all of it covered by the same tracked shipping. Nearby crews are already in the coverage circle, with Andover, IL (5 mi), Osco, IL (6 mi), Bishop Hill, IL (7 mi) sharing the identical pack rates and timelines. The closest major installation is Rock Island Arsenal, roughly 24 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 Cambridge.
A typical week of screen printing orders from this corner of Illinois mixes Cambridge crews with neighbors like Andover, 5 miles over, all running through the same designer, the same proof cycle, and the same tracked delivery.
Mixed youth and adult sizes in one run at one pack price. Nobody chases an order here. Your contact tells you where it stands before you have to ask.
Reunion gear that gets the year right, drawn in-house and printed for every generation at once. The second order takes two minutes because the first one is archived down to the thread color.
When the count is high and the budget is fixed, light blanks and one-color prints deliver. The proof comes first and it is free, so what arrives is exactly what you signed off on.
Formation-wide runs are the bread and butter: single design, mixed sizes, pack rates that reward volume. Nobody chases an order here. Your contact tells you where it stands before you have to ask.
Uniform shirts that still look issued after a season of job-site laundry cycles. We handle the art, the sizing spread, and the deadline. You handle handing them out.
Fundraiser tees where the committee knows its margin up front, because every pack price is public. Start from a napkin sketch if that is what you have. Turning rough into print ready is the job.
The shop runs on habits borrowed from the people we serve: accountability by name, honest reporting, and deadlines that do not slide. Cambridge customers feel the difference on the first order.
Honesty runs in both directions here. A doomed timeline or a design that will disappoint gets called out early, with an alternative attached.
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.
Garment choice makes or breaks the order. These are the blanks Cambridge customers pick most, all designable online on real product photos.
The clean-front fleece crew: 8.0oz, no pocket, no hood, maximum canvas for crests and block letters. One point of contact owns your order from first proof to delivery confirmation.
Big-run economics start here: light ringspun cotton from $12 at volume, with the front print already in the price. Every price is published before you talk to a person, so the budget math happens on your terms.
The standard. 5.3oz heavy cotton in more than 80 colors including military green, sand, and every heather. Holds shape wash after wash. Mixed sizes and colors in one run are standard here, not a special request.
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 Cambridge customers see.

Add-on pricing is deliberately boring: back print per the table (later $3, then $2), oversize front $3 or $2 by volume, extended sizes $6 or $4 by volume. That is the complete list, and the Design Lab computes it live before any quote is written.
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.
Twenty-four hours gets you a designer-built proof on the exact blank you chose. Iterate freely until it is right.
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.
Your art and specs stay on file, so reorders match the first run exactly, down to the ink.
The timeline to Cambridge 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.
Before sealing, every carton is counted against the size roster, and tracking goes out the same day. Anything short or damaged gets replaced at our cost on an expedited timeline.
Large runs are the core business: hundreds of pieces, mixed sizes, multiple colors, one named contact who owns it from first proof to the delivery scan.
Extended sizes carry a flat per-piece add: $6 when the order is under 25 pieces, $4 once it reaches 25. The estimate in the Design Lab applies it for you.
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.
Our minimum is 10 pieces. Packs for your Cambridge crew begin at 10, the per piece price falls as the count climbs, and shipping goes free at 100.
Vector files such as AI, SVG, EPS, and PDF are ideal. A 300 DPI PNG with a transparent background also prints clean. If all you have is a screenshot, we redraw it free.
We do, at the same pace as domestic orders. Deployed and overseas service members at APO and FPO addresses are covered alongside all 50 states.
