From single pieces to full crew runs, Chatham gets screen printed gear with honest pricing and a 5 to 7 day door-to-door timeline.
The workhorse method: vibrant plastisol or water-based ink pressed through mesh, one color at a time. Best price per shirt at volume and prints that survive hundreds of washes. For Chatham, that comes with published pack pricing and door delivery in 5 to 7 business days.
Chatham is home to a community of 216 across 2.5 square miles, and every one of those addresses is inside our standard 5 to 7 day delivery window. Nearby crews are already in the coverage circle, with Munising, MI (16 mi), K. I. Sawyer, MI (21 mi), Rock, MI (22 mi) sharing the identical pack rates and timelines. Coast Guard Air Station Traverse City, around 127 miles from Chatham, anchors the local military community we print for every week.
No storefront visit required. Send a rough idea or finished art, a real designer builds the proof at no charge, and the finished gear ships straight to Chatham.
A typical week of screen printing orders from this corner of Michigan mixes Chatham crews with neighbors like Munising, 16 miles over, all running through the same designer, the same proof cycle, and the same tracked delivery.
Anniversary shirts with the type and insignia matched to the era they honor. Start from a napkin sketch if that is what you have. Turning rough into print ready is the job.
When the count is high and the budget is fixed, light blanks and one-color prints deliver. Ask for the honest option and you get it, even when it is the cheaper one.
The whole roster in one run, one design, with the per-piece price falling at every pack break. What you approve in writing is what ships. That rule has no exceptions.
Everyday workwear printed to survive the job site, the shop floor, and the industrial washer. Packs mix garment colors freely, so squads, shifts, or grade levels can each get their own.
Fundraiser tees where the committee knows its margin up front, because every pack price is public. One point of contact owns your order from first proof to delivery confirmation.
Youth smalls through adult 5XL in a single pack at a single rate. Nobody chases an order here. Your contact tells you where it stands before you have to ask.
Serving the military community is not a marketing line here, it is the operating system. Chatham 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.
Ninety seconds in the Design Lab gets you a complete number: garment, print, sizes, upcharges, and shipping, all before any contact form.
Start from the garment and the rest follows. Among Chatham customers, these three blanks carry most of the orders, each designable online on its real photos.
The standard. 5.3oz heavy cotton in more than 80 colors including military green, sand, and every heather. Holds shape wash after wash. Ask for the honest option and you get it, even when it is the cheaper one.
For big front art, nothing beats this 8.0oz crew with its uninterrupted printing field. Every price is published before you talk to a person, so the budget math happens on your terms.
Big-run economics start here: light ringspun cotton from $12 at volume, with the front print already in the price. If a design will not print well at the size you want, you hear that before money changes hands.
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.
