Custom screen printed gear for Rose City businesses, schools, teams, churches, and crews. Proofs in 24 hours, delivered in 5 to 7 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 Rose City, that comes with published pack pricing and door delivery in 5 to 7 business days.
Census numbers put Rose City at a community of 579 on 1.1 square miles of Michigan, all of it covered by the same tracked shipping. The same run covers the neighboring communities too: Lupton, MI (5 mi), West Branch, MI (12 mi), St. Helen, MI (15 mi) all order from the same shop at the same published pricing. The closest major installation is Camp Grayling, roughly 34 miles out, and unit orders from there run through this same process daily.
The whole process runs remote: rough idea in, free designer-built proof back, written approval, and finished gear delivered to Rose City.
A typical week of screen printing orders from this corner of Michigan mixes Rose City crews with neighbors like Lupton, 5 miles over, all running through the same designer, the same proof cycle, and the same tracked delivery.
When the count is high and the budget is fixed, light blanks and one-color prints deliver. Youth and adult cuts run side by side in the same pack at the same price structure.
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.
Everyday workwear printed to survive the job site, the shop floor, and the industrial washer. Deadlines get treated like formation times, not suggestions.
Event shirts priced before the first form is printed, so selling at a profit is arithmetic, not hope. Mixed sizes and colors in one run are standard here, not a special request.
Youth smalls through adult 5XL in a single pack at a single rate. Youth and adult cuts run side by side in the same pack at the same price structure.
Anniversary shirts with the type and insignia matched to the era they honor. 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. Rose city 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.
The right blank depends on budget, season, and how hard the gear will be worn. For Rose City customers, these three earn their keep.
When the count is high, this 4.5oz ringspun blank keeps the math friendly: $12 a shirt at volume, front print included. Bring a rough idea, even a phone photo of a whiteboard, and our designers make it print ready at no charge.
The default unit shirt: heavy cotton, an 80-color palette, and a fit that survives the wash cycle. Bring a rough idea, even a phone photo of a whiteboard, and our designers make it print ready at no charge.
An 8.0oz fleece crew with a clean uninterrupted front, the best canvas we stock for big crests and old school block lettering. Deadlines get treated like formation times, not suggestions.
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.
