Custom screen printed gear for La Cygne businesses, schools, teams, churches, and crews. Proofs in 24 hours, delivered in 5 to 7 days.
La Cygne 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 La Cygne address in 5 to 7 business days.
Census numbers put La Cygne at about 1,000 people on 1.5 square miles of Kansas, all of it covered by the same tracked shipping. Nearby crews are already in the coverage circle, with Linn Valley, KS (3 mi), Fontana, KS (7 mi), Amsterdam, MO (9 mi) sharing the identical pack rates and timelines. The closest major installation is Fort Leavenworth, roughly 68 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 La Cygne counted against your roster.
A typical week of screen printing orders from this corner of Kansas mixes La Cygne crews with neighbors like Linn Valley, 3 miles over, all running through the same designer, the same proof cycle, and the same tracked delivery.
Event shirts priced before the first form is printed, so selling at a profit is arithmetic, not hope. Nobody chases an order here. Your contact tells you where it stands before you have to ask.
Mixed youth and adult sizes in one run at one pack price. Start from a napkin sketch if that is what you have. Turning rough into print ready is the job.
Reunion gear that gets the year right, drawn in-house and printed for every generation at once. One point of contact owns your order from first proof to delivery confirmation.
Giveaway runs engineered to a number: budget blank, single color, maximum count. Deadlines get treated like formation times, not suggestions.
Formation-wide runs are the bread and butter: single design, mixed sizes, pack rates that reward volume. Reorders match the first run exactly because we keep your art and specs on file.
Uniform shirts that still look issued after a season of job-site laundry cycles. A real designer, not an upload widget, checks every file before it goes near production.
Serving the military community is not a marketing line here, it is the operating system. La cygne 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.
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 La Cygne customers pick most, all designable online on real product photos.
Big-run economics start here: light ringspun cotton from $12 at volume, with the front print already in the price. Start from a napkin sketch if that is what you have. Turning rough into print ready is the job.
The default unit shirt: heavy cotton, an 80-color palette, and a fit that survives the wash cycle. Deadlines get treated like formation times, not suggestions.
For big front art, nothing beats this 8.0oz crew with its uninterrupted printing field. Rush timelines get quoted honestly. If we cannot hit the date, we say so before you pay a cent.
Design help is not an upsell here, it is how orders start. Describe the concept in a sentence, attach whatever reference you have, and within 24 hours a real designer returns a proof drawn as clean vectors, era-correct where it matters. Revisions cost nothing and continue until the proof is right, and your written approval is the only thing that sends it to production.
The Design Lab is there when you want to drive: upload, place, and price the design yourself on the exact garment we print.
Start the budget from the real numbers: published light cotton tee packs, front print built into every figure La Cygne 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.
Within 24 hours you have a proof in your inbox, drawn to size, on the garment and color you picked. Revisions are unlimited and free.
You approve in writing before production starts. No surprises at the box opening, because you already saw the shirt.
From approval, count 5 to 7 business days to your door. If the event is sooner, ask about rush and get a straight yes or no.
We archive your art and garment specs, which makes the second order a two minute conversation.
Production plus shipping to La Cygne 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.
Orders ship boxed and counted against your size roster, with tracking sent the day they leave. If anything arrives short or damaged, photograph it and send it over, and we correct it at our cost.
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.
There are no returns on custom orders; once printed, the work is final. That is exactly why production never starts without your written approval of a free proof, and why the size roster deserves a second look before you submit.
Yes, 10 pieces. That is the smallest run we print, packs for your La Cygne crew keep dropping the per piece price from there, and free shipping starts at 100.
Send whatever exists. Vectors print perfectly, high resolution PNGs print clean, and anything below that gets redrawn free by the design team before it goes near a press.
Deployed addresses are first-class here: APO and FPO ship on the standard timeline, right alongside all 50 states.
Yes, and without giving up your email: the Design Lab keeps the complete total, packs to shipping, on screen while you design.
