Screen Printing for Sleeping Buffalo: free 24-hour proofs, published pack pricing, and tracked delivery in 5 to 7 business days.
Sleeping Buffalo 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 Sleeping Buffalo address in 5 to 7 business days.
From one end of Sleeping Buffalo to the other, 0.2 square miles, the shipping promise does not change: 5 to 7 business days, tracked. If your people are spread out, that is fine: Saco, MT (9 mi), East Malta Colony, MT (10 mi), Malta, MT (18 mi) sit close enough that one order can outfit all of them. For the military community, Malmstrom Air Force Base sits about 187 miles away, well inside our normal unit-order routes.
The whole process runs remote: rough idea in, free designer-built proof back, written approval, and finished gear delivered to Sleeping Buffalo.
A typical week of screen printing orders from this corner of Montana mixes Sleeping Buffalo crews with neighbors like Saco, 9 miles over, all running through the same designer, the same proof cycle, and the same tracked delivery.
One design across the whole formation, printed at pack pricing that drops as the count climbs. Packs mix garment colors freely, so squads, shifts, or grade levels can each get their own.
Everyday workwear printed to survive the job site, the shop floor, and the industrial washer. Ask for the honest option and you get it, even when it is the cheaper one.
Event shirts priced before the first form is printed, so selling at a profit is arithmetic, not hope. The second order takes two minutes because the first one is archived down to the thread color.
One run covers the team and the bleachers: kid sizes and adult sizes priced together. If a design will not print well at the size you want, you hear that before money changes hands.
Reunion gear that gets the year right, drawn in-house and printed for every generation at once. Reorders match the first run exactly because we keep your art and specs on file.
Giveaway runs engineered to a number: budget blank, single color, maximum count. The proof comes first and it is free, so what arrives is exactly what you signed off on.
The shop runs on habits borrowed from the people we serve: accountability by name, honest reporting, and deadlines that do not slide. Sleeping buffalo customers feel the difference on the first order.
Part of the job is refusing bad orders. When the art, the garment, or the date is wrong, saying so before you pay is the service.
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 Sleeping Buffalo customers, these three blanks carry most of the orders, each designable online on its real photos.
An 8.0oz fleece crew with a clean uninterrupted front, the best canvas we stock for big crests and old school block lettering. Mixed sizes and colors in one run are standard here, not a special request.
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. Bring a rough idea, even a phone photo of a whiteboard, and our designers make it print ready at no charge.
The standard. 5.3oz heavy cotton in more than 80 colors including military green, sand, and every heather. Holds shape wash after wash. What you approve in writing is what ships. That rule has no exceptions.
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.

The first step is just getting the idea out of your head: type it into the quote form or mock it up in the Design Lab, rough edges and all.
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.
Production waits for one thing only: your written sign-off on the proof. That signature is the contract for exactly what prints.
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.
Art, thread colors, and size history stay archived, so the next season run starts with one email.
Every order ships tracked to Sleeping Buffalo addresses with standard production plus shipping at 5 to 7 business days. Free shipping kicks in at 100 pieces, and pack shipping rates below that are published, not surprises at checkout.
Boxes get counted twice against the roster before they seal, and the tracking number reaches you the day of pickup. Damage or shortage claims are our expense and our rush.
The minimum order is 10 pieces. Your sleeping buffalo crew can order ten today and a hundred next month; the packs just make each piece cheaper as the count grows.
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.
We do, at the same pace as domestic orders. Deployed and overseas service members at APO and FPO addresses are covered alongside all 50 states.
That is the point of the Design Lab: the complete number, packs, back prints, size upcharges, shipping, updates live while you design, before any contact form.
Standard production plus shipping takes 5 to 7 business days. Rush options are available on many orders, tell us your date and we answer honestly.
Always, at no charge. A designer takes your rough input, redraws it print ready, and has a proof in your inbox inside a day, with unlimited revisions after.
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.
