From single pieces to full crew runs, Vail gets screen printed gear with honest pricing and a 5 to 7 day door-to-door timeline.
Vail 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 Vail address in 5 to 7 business days.
Vail is home to a community of 376 across 0.6 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: Westside, IA (5 mi), Deloit, IA (7 mi), Arcadia, IA (8 mi) all order from the same shop at the same published pricing. For the military community, Offutt Air Force Base sits about 72 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 Vail.
Because Westside sits only 5 miles from Vail, joint orders across town lines are common here: one proof, one pack price, two delivery stops if needed.
Reunion gear that gets the year right, drawn in-house and printed for every generation at once. Mixed sizes and colors in one run are standard here, not a special request.
High-count, budget-tier blanks with a clean one-color print that keeps cost per piece low. The second order takes two minutes because the first one is archived down to the thread color.
One design across the whole formation, printed at pack pricing that drops as the count climbs. What you approve in writing is what ships. That rule has no exceptions.
Crew tees built for daily abuse: heavy blanks, cured ink, and reorders that match exactly. We handle the art, the sizing spread, and the deadline. You handle handing them out.
Runs, festivals, and booster fundraisers with published pricing so the margin math is done before the order form goes out. Start from a napkin sketch if that is what you have. Turning rough into print ready is the job.
Mixed youth and adult sizes in one run at one pack price. Mixed sizes and colors in one run are standard here, not a special request.
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 Vail customers call, a person who owns the order answers.
The same discipline applies inward: an unrealistic date or a design that will not print well gets flagged before you commit, not explained 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 Vail customers pick most, all designable online on real product photos.
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. Nobody chases an order here. Your contact tells you where it stands before you have to ask.
Eighty-plus colors of 5.3oz heavy cotton, from military green to every heather, that keeps its shape through the laundry years. The proof comes first and it is free, so what arrives is exactly what you signed off on.
The clean-front fleece crew: 8.0oz, no pocket, no hood, maximum canvas for crests and block letters. If a design will not print well at the size you want, you hear that before money changes hands.
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.
Budget planning for Vail customers starts with real numbers. This is our light cotton tee pack pricing with the front print already included.
| Pieces | Total | Each | Ship | Back print add |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 pieces | $180 | $18 ea | $18 | $4 ea |
| 15 pieces | $250 | $16.67 ea | $18 | $4 ea |
| 20 pieces | $320 | $16 ea | $20.99 | $4 ea |
| 25 pieces | $375 | $15 ea | $20.99 | $3 ea |
| 50 pieces | $700 | $14 ea | $22.99 | $2 ea |
| 100 pieces | $1200 | $12 ea | FREE | $2 ea |
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.
Two doors in: the quote form if you want a person on it immediately, or the Design Lab if you want to see it on the garment first. Either way, unfinished ideas are the expected input.
One day later the proof is in your inbox: your art, your garment, your colors, at true print scale. Revisions never cost a cent.
You approve in writing before production starts. No surprises at the box opening, because you already saw the shirt.
Standard turnaround is 5 to 7 business days from approval to doorstep, with rush available when the calendar demands it.
Art, thread colors, and size history stay archived, so the next season run starts with one email.
The timeline to Vail addresses is fixed and published: 5 to 7 business days door to door, production included. Shipping rates are flat, visible in the table, and free from 100 pieces.
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.
Yes, and without giving up your email: the Design Lab keeps the complete total, packs to shipping, on screen while you design.
Count 5 to 7 business days from approval to doorstep, production included. Tighter date? Ask about rush and you get a straight answer before paying.
Included with every order: a designer turns whatever you send into print-ready art, proofs it within 24 hours, and revises free until approved.
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.
Finality is the nature of custom work: no returns once it prints. Your protections live earlier in the process, in the free proof and the written approval that nothing skips.
The minimum order is 10 pieces. Your vail crew can order ten today and a hundred next month; the packs just make each piece cheaper as the count grows.
