Sublimation for Alpha: free 24-hour proofs, published pack pricing, and tracked delivery in 5 to 7 business days.
Dye bonded into polyester fiber, so it never cracks, peels, or washes out. All-over prints, jerseys, koozies, mugs, and flags. For Alpha, that comes with published pack pricing and door delivery in 5 to 7 business days.
Census numbers put Alpha at a community of 658 on 0.3 square miles of Illinois, all of it covered by the same tracked shipping. If your people are spread out, that is fine: Woodhull, IL (3 mi), Windsor, IL (3 mi), Ophiem, IL (4 mi) sit close enough that one order can outfit all of them. For the military community, Rock Island Arsenal sits about 22 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 Alpha.
A typical week of sublimation orders from this corner of Illinois mixes Alpha crews with neighbors like Woodhull, 3 miles over, all running through the same designer, the same proof cycle, and the same tracked delivery.
Edge-to-edge color dyed into the fabric, so the print can never crack or peel. Mixed sizes and colors in one run are standard here, not a special request.
Rosters, numbers, and sponsors all print in the same pass at the same price. The proof comes first and it is free, so what arrives is exactly what you signed off on.
Moisture-wicking blanks where the print breathes with the fabric. Every price is published before you talk to a person, so the budget math happens on your terms.
Whole-garment patterns, from classic camo to unit-designed concepts. Mixed sizes and colors in one run are standard here, not a special request.
Dedication flags and display pieces printed in full color on polyester. If a design will not print well at the size you want, you hear that before money changes hands.
Neck labels and inner details that make merch look retail. Start from a napkin sketch if that is what you have. Turning rough into print ready is the job.
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 Alpha customers call, a person who owns the order answers.
It also means we say no when we should. If a design will not print well at the size you want, or a date cannot be hit, you hear it before you spend money, not after.
Ninety seconds in the Design Lab gets you a complete number: garment, print, sizes, upcharges, and shipping, all before any contact form.
Start from the garment and the rest follows. Among Alpha customers, these three blanks carry most of the orders, each designable online on its real photos.
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.
All-over designs want the boxiest canvas in the lineup, and this is it. The proof comes first and it is free, so what arrives is exactly what you signed off on.
Budget practice gear: standard tee, sublimated numbers, done. Rush timelines get quoted honestly. If we cannot hit the date, we say so before you pay a cent.
The gap between what you have and what a press needs is our designers job to close, free with any order. Whatever the starting point, the output is the same: clean vectors, correct insignia, a proof within 24 hours, and unlimited revisions until you approve it in writing. Only then does anything print.
The Design Lab offers the self-serve path, with your art positioned on real product photos and the total priced as you go.
Here is what Alpha customers actually pay, starting from our light cotton tee. Every price includes a standard front print, and the number only moves down as the pack gets bigger.
| Pieces | Total | Each | Ship | Back print add |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 pack | $180 | $18 ea | $18 | $4 ea |
| 15 pack | $250 | $16.67 ea | $18 | $4 ea |
| 20 pack | $320 | $16 ea | $20.99 | $4 ea |
| 25 pack | $375 | $15 ea | $20.99 | $3 ea |
| 50 pack | $700 | $14 ea | $22.99 | $2 ea |
| 100 pack | $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.
Start in the Design Lab on the exact garment we print, or send whatever you have through the quote form. Rough ideas are welcome, that is what the free design service is for.
Twenty-four hours gets you a designer-built proof on the exact blank you chose. Iterate freely until it is right.
Nothing goes to press until you approve the proof in writing. What you sign off on is exactly what prints, that is the whole point of the proof.
Production and shipping run 5 to 7 business days standard. Rush options exist and get quoted honestly against your date.
Your art and specs stay on file, so reorders match the first run exactly, down to the ink.
Count 5 to 7 business days, production included, for tracked delivery to Alpha addresses. At 100 pieces shipping costs nothing; under that, the flat rates in the table are the whole story.
Before sealing, every carton is counted against the size roster, and tracking goes out the same day. Anything short or damaged gets replaced at our cost on an expedited timeline.
Simple math: 2XL and up cost $6 more per piece on small orders and $4 more per piece from 25 pieces. No other size fees exist, and the Design Lab totals it live.
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 Alpha 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.
Completely. Build the design in the Design Lab and the full order total sits on screen the whole time; no email, no call, no waiting.
Five to seven business days, all in, from approval to arrival. Rush exists for real deadlines and gets an honest yes or no up front.
