From single pieces to full crew runs, Slippery Rock 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 Slippery Rock, that comes with published pack pricing and door delivery in 5 to 7 business days.
Slippery Rock is home to about 3,600 people across 1.6 square miles, and every one of those addresses is inside our standard 5 to 7 day delivery window. The same run covers the neighboring communities too: Slippery Rock University, PA (1 mi), Forestville, PA (4 mi), West Liberty, PA (4 mi) all order from the same shop at the same published pricing. Camp Dawson, around 112 miles from Slippery Rock, anchors the local military community we print for every week.
The whole process runs remote: rough idea in, free designer-built proof back, written approval, and finished gear delivered to Slippery Rock.
Screen Printing demand around Slippery Rock does not stop at the town line. Crews from Slippery Rock University (1 miles out) order through the same process, which is why coverage is priced by pack, never by zip code.
Era-correct designs drawn by our in-house team and printed for every generation of the crew. Every price is published before you talk to a person, so the budget math happens on your terms.
When the count is high and the budget is fixed, light blanks and one-color prints deliver. 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. What you approve in writing is what ships. That rule has no exceptions.
Uniform shirts that still look issued after a season of job-site laundry cycles. Every price is published before you talk to a person, so the budget math happens on your terms.
Event shirts priced before the first form is printed, so selling at a profit is arithmetic, not hope. If a design will not print well at the size you want, you hear that before money changes hands.
Mixed youth and adult sizes in one run at one pack price. Deadlines get treated like formation times, not suggestions.
This shop exists for the military community, and it shows in how orders run. Deadlines are treated like formation times, proofs are honest instead of optimistic, and when Slippery Rock customers call, a person who owns the order answers.
Honesty runs in both directions here. A doomed timeline or a design that will disappoint gets called out early, with an alternative attached.
Ninety seconds in the Design Lab gets you a complete number: garment, print, sizes, upcharges, and shipping, all before any contact form.
The right blank depends on budget, season, and how hard the gear will be worn. For Slippery Rock customers, these three earn their keep.
Eighty-plus colors of 5.3oz heavy cotton, from military green to every heather, that keeps its shape through the laundry years. Rush timelines get quoted honestly. If we cannot hit the date, we say so before you pay a cent.
For big front art, nothing beats this 8.0oz crew with its uninterrupted printing field. Deadlines get treated like formation times, not suggestions.
When the count is high, this 4.5oz ringspun blank keeps the math friendly: $12 a shirt at volume, front print included. Start from a napkin sketch if that is what you have. Turning rough into print ready is the job.
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.
Start the budget from the real numbers: published light cotton tee packs, front print built into every figure Slippery Rock customers see.

Beyond the table, the only extras are per-piece and public: back prints at the listed rate stepping down to $3 then $2, oversized fronts at $3 dropping to $2, and 2XL-plus at $6 dropping to $4. The Design Lab does this arithmetic for you in real time.
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.
A real designer, not an algorithm, sends your proof within 24 hours. You change it as many times as it takes to be right.
Your written approval is the gate. Until it exists, nothing prints; once it exists, exactly that design prints.
Five to seven business days covers printing and delivery. Tight timeline? Rush gets a truthful quote, not a hopeful one.
The specs live in our archive permanently: same art, same colors, same result, on demand.
