South Bend orders custom gear here because the pricing is published, the proof is free, and delivery to Indiana runs 5 to 7 business days flat.
South Bend does not need a local print shop to get local-quality gear. Design online, approve a free proof from a real designer within 24 hours, and delivery lands at any South Bend address in 5 to 7 business days.
With about 103,000 people spread over 41.9 square miles, South Bend gets the same flat delivery promise as everywhere else we serve: 5 to 7 business days to any door. If your people are spread out, that is fine: Notre Dame, IN (2 mi), Roseland, IN (3 mi), Ardmore, IN (3 mi) sit close enough that one order can outfit all of them. The closest major installation is Grissom Air Reserve Base, roughly 64 miles out, and unit orders from there run through this same process daily.
The Indiana military community orders here too: unit and family gear for Camp Atterbury and Grissom Air Reserve Base, plus every recruiter, Guard unit, and veteran org chapter around South Bend.
The bulk-run classic: pressed ink, published packs, proven durability.
Thread instead of ink: caps, polos, and outerwear with permanent texture.
Full color small runs from just 10 pieces.
Edge-to-edge jerseys and performance gear with print in the fibers.
13oz vinyl banners and signs sized to be read at distance.
From napkin sketch to print-ready vectors, free with any order.
Race shirts and tournament gear that arrive before the starting gun, guaranteed honestly. Every price is published before you talk to a person, so the budget math happens on your terms.
League jerseys and fan gear where kid and parent sizes share one pack price. Youth and adult cuts run side by side in the same pack at the same price structure.
PTA runs, field day tees, and club shirts proofed free and priced by the pack before the order form goes home. Start from a napkin sketch if that is what you have. Turning rough into print ready is the job.
Workwear for local crews: printed tees, embroidered polos, gear that outlasts the season. We handle the art, the sizing spread, and the deadline. You handle handing them out.
Festival tees, cleanup-day shirts, and volunteer gear for the events that hold a town together. What you approve in writing is what ships. That rule has no exceptions.
Mission trip tees and congregation gear at pack rates a committee can approve. Start from a napkin sketch if that is what you have. Turning rough into print ready is the job.
Serving the military community is not a marketing line here, it is the operating system. South bend customers deal with one accountable person, get dates that mean something, and receive work held to a uniform standard.
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.
The right blank depends on budget, season, and how hard the gear will be worn. For South Bend customers, these three earn their keep.
The default unit shirt: heavy cotton, an 80-color palette, and a fit that survives the wash cycle. One point of contact owns your order from first proof to delivery confirmation.
The clean-front fleece crew: 8.0oz, no pocket, no hood, maximum canvas for crests and block letters. One point of contact owns your order from first proof to delivery confirmation.
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. What you approve in writing is what ships. That rule has no exceptions.
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.
The table below is the actual price list South Bend customers order from, light cotton tee, front print included, no asterisks.

Three add-ons exist and all are flat per piece: the back print at the table rate ($3 from 25 pieces, $2 from 50), the oversized front at $3 or $2 depending on quantity, and extended sizes at $6 or $4. Nothing else gets added. The Design Lab applies every rule automatically, and the written quote confirms the total before anything is charged.
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.
