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.
With about 2,300 people spread over 1.7 square miles, Alpha 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: Upper Pohatcong, NJ (1 mi), Morgan Hill, PA (3 mi), Phillipsburg, NJ (3 mi) sit close enough that one order can outfit all of them. The closest major installation is Picatinny Arsenal, roughly 35 miles out, and unit orders from there run through this same process daily.
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 New Jersey mixes Alpha crews with neighbors like Upper Pohatcong, 1 miles over, all running through the same designer, the same proof cycle, and the same tracked delivery.
Full kits with personalization included, because sublimation prints it all at once. If a design will not print well at the size you want, you hear that before money changes hands.
Wicking fabric stays wicking, because the dye never blocks the weave. Rush timelines get quoted honestly. If we cannot hit the date, we say so before you pay a cent.
Whole-garment patterns, from classic camo to unit-designed concepts. If a design will not print well at the size you want, you hear that before money changes hands.
Dedication flags and display pieces printed in full color on polyester. The proof comes first and it is free, so what arrives is exactly what you signed off on.
Neck labels and inner details that make merch look retail. The proof comes first and it is free, so what arrives is exactly what you signed off on.
Seam-to-seam graphics that are part of the fabric, not sitting on it. If a design will not print well at the size you want, you hear that before money changes hands.
Serving the military community is not a marketing line here, it is the operating system. Alpha customers deal with one accountable person, get dates that mean something, and receive work held to a uniform standard.
That standard cuts both ways. If your art needs work or your timeline is impossible, we tell you up front and offer the fix, because a bad shirt with our print on it costs us more than the order.
Upload art or add text in the Design Lab, set sizes and quantities, and the full estimate, shipping included, is on screen before you give anyone your email.
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.
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. Nobody chases an order here. Your contact tells you where it stands before you have to ask.
The team-store look: sublimation accents plus embroidery on the fleece hoodie. Nobody chases an order here. Your contact tells you where it stands before you have to ask.
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 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 |
Back prints add per piece at the rate shown, dropping to $3 at 25 pieces and $2 at 50. Oversized full body fronts add $3 per piece under 25 pieces and $2 at 25 or more, and sizes 2XL and up add $6 each under 25 pieces or $4 each at 25 or more. Heavier garments follow the same pack structure at their own price points, all shown live in the Design Lab.
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.
One day later the proof is in your inbox: your art, your garment, your colors, at true print scale. Revisions never cost a cent.
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.
From approval, count 5 to 7 business days to your door. If the event is sooner, ask about rush and get a straight yes or no.
Art, thread colors, and size history stay archived, so the next season run starts with one email.
Delivery to Alpha addresses follows one simple clock: 5 to 7 business days including production, with tracking from the moment it leaves. Hit 100 pieces and the shipping line drops to zero.
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.
Best case: vector art (AI, SVG, EPS, PDF). Very good case: a 300 DPI transparent PNG. Worst case: a screenshot, which our designers redraw at no charge anyway.
We do, at the same pace as domestic orders. Deployed and overseas service members at APO and FPO addresses are covered alongside all 50 states.
