From single pieces to full crew runs, Kent City 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 Kent City, that comes with published pack pricing and door delivery in 5 to 7 business days.
Census numbers put Kent City at about 1,400 people on 1.3 square miles of Michigan, all of it covered by the same tracked shipping. The same run covers the neighboring communities too: Casnovia, MI (2 mi), Sparta, MI (5 mi), Grant, MI (8 mi) all order from the same shop at the same published pricing. The closest major installation is Coast Guard Air Station Traverse City, roughly 106 miles out, and unit orders from there run through this same process daily.
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 Kent City.
A typical week of screen printing orders from this corner of Michigan mixes Kent City crews with neighbors like Casnovia, 2 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. Packs mix garment colors freely, so squads, shifts, or grade levels can each get their own.
Era-correct designs drawn by our in-house team and printed for every generation of the crew. The second order takes two minutes because the first one is archived down to the thread color.
Giveaway runs engineered to a number: budget blank, single color, maximum count. A real designer, not an upload widget, checks every file before it goes near production.
The whole roster in one run, one design, with the per-piece price falling at every pack break. Packs mix garment colors freely, so squads, shifts, or grade levels can each get their own.
Crew tees built for daily abuse: heavy blanks, cured ink, and reorders that match exactly. Youth and adult cuts run side by side in the same pack at the same price structure.
Fundraiser tees where the committee knows its margin up front, because every pack price is public. We handle the art, the sizing spread, and the deadline. You handle handing them out.
We built this company on a simple standard: print it like the name on it matters. For Kent City customers, that means honest timelines, real proofs, and no excuses on delivery day.
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 Kent City 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. Start from a napkin sketch if that is what you have. Turning rough into print ready is the job.
Eighty-plus colors of 5.3oz heavy cotton, from military green to every heather, that keeps its shape through the laundry years. Packs mix garment colors freely, so squads, shifts, or grade levels can each get their own.
For big front art, nothing beats this 8.0oz crew with its uninterrupted printing field. Mixed sizes and colors in one run are standard here, not a special request.
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.
The table below is the actual price list Kent City customers order from, light cotton tee, front print included, no asterisks.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 pack | $180 | $18 ea | $18 | $4 ea |
| 15 pack | $250 | $16.67 ea | $18 | $4 ea |
| 20 pack | $320 | $16 ea | $20.99 | $4 ea |

Three add-ons exist and all are flat per piece: the back print at the table rate ($3 from 25 pieces, $2 from 50), the oversized front at $3 or $2 depending on quantity, and extended sizes at $6 or $4. Nothing else gets added. The Design Lab applies every rule automatically, and the written quote confirms the total before anything is charged.
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.
The proof arrives inside a day, drawn at print size on your chosen garment and color. Change anything, as often as needed, at no cost.
Production waits for one thing only: your written sign-off on the proof. That signature is the contract for exactly what prints.
Approval to doorstep runs 5 to 7 business days as the default, faster when rush is booked and honestly refused when it cannot be.
The specs live in our archive permanently: same art, same colors, same result, on demand.
The timeline to Kent City 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.
The roster is the packing list: every size counted into the box, tracking issued at pickup, and any shortage or transit damage made right at our cost without argument.
Due to custom orders, all work is finalized and no returns are accepted. Double check sizing and artwork before submitting your order. Every order gets a free proof first, and nothing prints until you approve it in writing.
Order ten, order fifty, order five hundred: 10 pieces is our floor, and for your Kent City crew, bigger packs simply pull the per-piece price down.
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.
