Screen Printing for Free Union: free 24-hour proofs, published pack pricing, and tracked delivery in 5 to 7 business days.
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 Free Union, that comes with published pack pricing and door delivery in 5 to 7 business days.
Free Union covers 2.0 square miles of Virginia, and delivery reaches every address in it on the standard 5 to 7 day window. If your people are spread out, that is fine: Earlysville, VA (5 mi), Ivy, VA (7 mi), Rio, VA (7 mi) sit close enough that one order can outfit all of them. The closest major installation is MCB Quantico, roughly 73 miles out, and unit orders from there run through this same process daily.
Nothing here needs a storefront. Art goes in by phone or upload, a designer proofs it free, and the shipment lands in Free Union counted against your roster.
Because Earlysville sits only 5 miles from Free Union, joint orders across town lines are common here: one proof, one pack price, two delivery stops if needed.
Uniform shirts that still look issued after a season of job-site laundry cycles. One point of contact owns your order from first proof to delivery confirmation.
Fundraiser tees where the committee knows its margin up front, because every pack price is public. Deadlines get treated like formation times, not suggestions.
Youth smalls through adult 5XL in a single pack at a single rate. Reorders match the first run exactly because we keep your art and specs on file.
Reunion gear that gets the year right, drawn in-house and printed for every generation at once. Youth and adult cuts run side by side in the same pack at the same price structure.
Giveaway runs engineered to a number: budget blank, single color, maximum count. Packs mix garment colors freely, so squads, shifts, or grade levels can each get their own.
One design across the whole formation, printed at pack pricing that drops as the count climbs. Youth and adult cuts run side by side in the same pack at the same price structure.
We print for units, veterans, and military families every day, and the discipline transfers. Free union customers get straight answers on dates, a named person on their order, and work we would put our own name on.
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 Free Union customers, these three blanks carry most of the orders, each designable online on its real photos.
When the count is high, this 4.5oz ringspun blank keeps the math friendly: $12 a shirt at volume, front print included. Packs mix garment colors freely, so squads, shifts, or grade levels can each get their own.
The default unit shirt: heavy cotton, an 80-color palette, and a fit that survives the wash cycle. Packs mix garment colors freely, so squads, shifts, or grade levels can each get their own.
An 8.0oz fleece crew with a clean uninterrupted front, the best canvas we stock for big crests and old school block lettering. 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 Free Union customers see.
