From single pieces to full crew runs, Rapids City gets screen printed gear with honest pricing and a 5 to 7 day door-to-door timeline.
Rapids City 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 Rapids City address in 5 to 7 business days.
Census numbers put Rapids City at a community of 938 on 1.6 square miles of Illinois, all of it covered by the same tracked shipping. Nearby crews are already in the coverage circle, with Le Claire, IA (2 mi), Port Byron, IL (3 mi), Hampton, IL (4 mi) sharing the identical pack rates and timelines. The closest major installation is Rock Island Arsenal, roughly 15 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 Rapids City counted against your roster.
Screen Printing demand around Rapids City does not stop at the town line. Crews from Le Claire (2 miles out) order through the same process, which is why coverage is priced by pack, never by zip code.
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.
Era-correct designs drawn by our in-house team and printed for every generation of the crew. What you approve in writing is what ships. That rule has no exceptions.
Giveaway runs engineered to a number: budget blank, single color, maximum count. The second order takes two minutes because the first one is archived down to the thread color.
The whole roster in one run, one design, with the per-piece price falling at every pack break. 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. The proof comes first and it is free, so what arrives is exactly what you signed off on.
Event shirts priced before the first form is printed, so selling at a profit is arithmetic, not hope. Rush timelines get quoted honestly. If we cannot hit the date, we say so before you pay a cent.
The shop runs on habits borrowed from the people we serve: accountability by name, honest reporting, and deadlines that do not slide. Rapids city customers feel the difference on the first order.
That standard cuts both ways. If your art needs work or your timeline is impossible, we tell you up front and offer the fix, because a bad shirt with our print on it costs us more than the order.
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.
The right blank depends on budget, season, and how hard the gear will be worn. For Rapids City customers, these three earn their keep.
The clean-front fleece crew: 8.0oz, no pocket, no hood, maximum canvas for crests and block letters. Start from a napkin sketch if that is what you have. Turning rough into print ready is the job.
Big-run economics start here: light ringspun cotton from $12 at volume, with the front print already in the price. The second order takes two minutes because the first one is archived down to the thread color.
The default unit shirt: heavy cotton, an 80-color palette, and a fit that survives the wash cycle. Mixed sizes and colors in one run are standard here, not a special request.
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 Rapids City customers order from, light cotton tee, front print included, no asterisks.
| Quantity | Pack price | Per shirt | Shipping | Add back print |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pack of 10 | $180 | $18 ea | $18 | $4 ea |
| Pack of 15 | $250 | $16.67 ea | $18 | $4 ea |

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.
Kick it off however suits you: describe the concept in the quote form or drop your art straight into the Design Lab. Polish is not required at this stage.
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.
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.
Art, thread colors, and size history stay archived, so the next season run starts with one email.
