From single pieces to full crew runs, Alden gets sublimated gear with honest pricing and a 5 to 7 day door-to-door timeline.
Dye bonded into polyester fiber, so it never cracks, peels, or washes out. All-over prints, jerseys, koozies, mugs, and flags. For Alden, that comes with published pack pricing and door delivery in 5 to 7 business days.
From one end of Alden to the other, 0.4 square miles, the shipping promise does not change: 5 to 7 business days, tracked. The same run covers the neighboring communities too: Rapid City, MI (3 mi), Elk Rapids, MI (7 mi), Bellaire, MI (7 mi) all order from the same shop at the same published pricing. For the military community, Coast Guard Air Station Traverse City sits about 18 miles away, well inside our normal unit-order routes.
Nothing here needs a storefront. Art goes in by phone or upload, a designer proofs it free, and the shipment lands in Alden counted against your roster.
Sublimation demand around Alden does not stop at the town line. Crews from Rapid City (3 miles out) order through the same process, which is why coverage is priced by pack, never by zip code.
Custom patterns and camo concepts printed edge to edge. Packs mix garment colors freely, so squads, shifts, or grade levels can each get their own.
Dedication flags and display pieces printed in full color on polyester. Packs mix garment colors freely, so squads, shifts, or grade levels can each get their own.
Inside-collar branding for crews building a real merch line. The proof comes first and it is free, so what arrives is exactly what you signed off on.
Edge-to-edge color dyed into the fabric, so the print can never crack or peel. Start from a napkin sketch if that is what you have. Turning rough into print ready is the job.
Numbers, names, and sponsor logos in one process, one price. What you approve in writing is what ships. That rule has no exceptions.
Moisture-wicking blanks where the print breathes with the fabric. Nobody chases an order here. Your contact tells you where it stands before you have to ask.
Serving the military community is not a marketing line here, it is the operating system. Alden customers deal with one accountable person, get dates that mean something, and receive work held to a uniform standard.
Honesty runs in both directions here. A doomed timeline or a design that will disappoint gets called out early, with an alternative attached.
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 Alden customers, these three earn their keep.
Names and numbers pair with a standard tee for practice gear that does not break the budget. The second order takes two minutes because the first one is archived down to the thread color.
Sublimated accents with embroidered marks make a hoodie that looks like team store product. The second order takes two minutes because the first one is archived down to the thread color.
The widest, boxiest blank we stock, which is exactly what edge-to-edge concepts need. 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.
Budget planning for Alden customers starts with real numbers. This is our light cotton tee pack pricing with the front print already included.
| Quantity | Pack price | Per shirt | Shipping | Add back print |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pack of 10 | $180 | $18 ea | $18 | $4 ea |
| Pack of 15 | $250 | $16.67 ea | $18 | $4 ea |
| Pack of 20 | $320 | $16 ea | $20.99 | $4 ea |
| Pack of 25 | $375 | $15 ea | $20.99 | $3 ea |
| Pack of 50 | $700 | $14 ea | $22.99 | $2 ea |
| Pack of 100 | $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.
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.
A real designer, not an algorithm, sends your proof within 24 hours. You change it as many times as it takes to be right.
Production waits for one thing only: your written sign-off on the proof. That signature is the contract for exactly what prints.
Production and shipping run 5 to 7 business days standard. Rush options exist and get quoted honestly against your date.
Art, thread colors, and size history stay archived, so the next season run starts with one email.
Production plus shipping to Alden addresses runs 5 to 7 business days standard, tracked the whole way. Shipping is free at 100 pieces and flat rated below that, exactly as shown in the pricing table above.
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.
Large orders are the specialty, not the exception: hundreds of mixed-size pieces, roster-counted boxes, one accountable contact.
Sizes 2XL and up add $6 per piece under 25 total pieces, or $4 per piece at 25 or more. The Design Lab includes it in your estimate automatically.
Custom work does not come back: due to custom orders, all work is finalized and no returns are accepted. The protection is up front instead, a free proof that must be approved in writing before anything prints, so check sizing and art carefully at that stage.
Our minimum is 10 pieces. Packs for your Alden crew begin at 10, the per piece price falls as the count climbs, and shipping goes free at 100.
File quality is our problem, not yours: vectors are ideal, 300 DPI PNGs work, and weak files get redrawn at no charge.
Yes. We ship to all 50 states and to APO and FPO addresses for deployed and overseas service members.
