Custom screen printed gear for Derby Center businesses, schools, teams, churches, and crews. Proofs in 24 hours, delivered in 5 to 7 days.
Derby Center 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 Derby Center address in 5 to 7 business days.
With a community of 634 spread over 1.4 square miles, Derby Center 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: Derby Line, VT (3 mi), Newport, VT (4 mi), Newport Center, VT (8 mi) sit close enough that one order can outfit all of them. Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, around 146 miles from Derby Center, anchors the local military community we print for every week.
Nothing here needs a storefront. Art goes in by phone or upload, a designer proofs it free, and the shipment lands in Derby Center counted against your roster.
A typical week of screen printing orders from this corner of Vermont mixes Derby Center crews with neighbors like Derby Line, 3 miles over, all running through the same designer, the same proof cycle, and the same tracked delivery.
One run covers the team and the bleachers: kid sizes and adult sizes priced together. Mixed sizes and colors in one run are standard here, not a special request.
Anniversary shirts with the type and insignia matched to the era they honor. Deadlines get treated like formation times, not suggestions.
High-count, budget-tier blanks with a clean one-color print that keeps cost per piece low. A real designer, not an upload widget, checks every file before it goes near production.
One design across the whole formation, printed at pack pricing that drops as the count climbs. Deadlines get treated like formation times, not suggestions.
Crew tees built for daily abuse: heavy blanks, cured ink, and reorders that match exactly. Mixed sizes and colors in one run are standard here, not a special request.
Fundraiser tees where the committee knows its margin up front, because every pack price is public. Reorders match the first run exactly because we keep your art and specs on file.
Serving the military community is not a marketing line here, it is the operating system. Derby center customers deal with one accountable person, get dates that mean something, and receive work held to a uniform standard.
It also means we say no when we should. If a design will not print well at the size you want, or a date cannot be hit, you hear it before you spend money, not 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.
Start from the garment and the rest follows. Among Derby Center customers, these three blanks carry most of the orders, each designable online on its real photos.
The budget workhorse for big runs. 4.5oz light ringspun cotton that keeps a 100 piece order affordable, from $12 a shirt at volume with the front print included. The second order takes two minutes because the first one is archived down to the thread color.
Eighty-plus colors of 5.3oz heavy cotton, from military green to every heather, that keeps its shape through the laundry years. If a design will not print well at the size you want, you hear that before money changes hands.
For big front art, nothing beats this 8.0oz crew with its uninterrupted printing field. Start from a napkin sketch if that is what you have. Turning rough into print ready is the job.
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.
The table below is the actual price list Derby Center customers order from, light cotton tee, front print included, no asterisks.

Beyond the table, the only extras are per-piece and public: back prints at the listed rate stepping down to $3 then $2, oversized fronts at $3 dropping to $2, and 2XL-plus at $6 dropping to $4. The Design Lab does this arithmetic for you in real time.
Two doors in: the quote form if you want a person on it immediately, or the Design Lab if you want to see it on the garment first. Either way, unfinished ideas are the expected input.
A real designer, not an algorithm, sends your proof within 24 hours. You change it as many times as it takes to be 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.
Five to seven business days covers printing and delivery. Tight timeline? Rush gets a truthful quote, not a hopeful one.
Everything about the run gets archived, which turns every future reorder into a one-line email.
Production plus shipping to Derby Center addresses runs 5 to 7 business days standard, tracked the whole way. Shipping is free at 100 pieces and flat rated below that, exactly as shown in the pricing table above.
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. The Design Lab shows live pack pricing, back print costs, size upcharges, and shipping as you build your design.
Five to seven business days, all in, from approval to arrival. Rush exists for real deadlines and gets an honest yes or no up front.
Design help is included free. Whatever you have, a napkin sketch, a faded shirt photo, a sentence, becomes a print-ready proof from a real designer within 24 hours.
Large orders are the specialty, not the exception: hundreds of mixed-size pieces, roster-counted boxes, one accountable contact.
The extended-size rule fits in one line: add $6 per piece below 25 total, $4 per piece at 25 or more. The Design Lab applies it automatically.
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.
