From single pieces to full crew runs, Big Bay gets sublimated gear with honest pricing and a 5 to 7 day door-to-door timeline.
Big Bay crews order sublimated 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 Big Bay address in 5 to 7 business days.
All 3.9 square miles of Big Bay sit inside our normal delivery map, tracked door to door. If your people are spread out, that is fine: Trowbridge Park, MI (22 mi), West Ishpeming, MI (23 mi), Negaunee, MI (23 mi) sit close enough that one order can outfit all of them. The closest major installation is Coast Guard Air Station Traverse City, roughly 175 miles out, and unit orders from there run through this same process daily.
Nothing here needs a storefront. Art goes in by phone or upload, a designer proofs it free, and the shipment lands in Big Bay counted against your roster.
Because Trowbridge Park sits only 22 miles from Big Bay, joint orders across town lines are common here: one proof, one pack price, two delivery stops if needed.
Whole-garment patterns, from classic camo to unit-designed concepts. What you approve in writing is what ships. That rule has no exceptions.
Full-color polyester flags and displays for events and dedications. Ask for the honest option and you get it, even when it is the cheaper one.
The retail touches: printed neck labels and interior branding. Deadlines get treated like formation times, not suggestions.
Seam-to-seam graphics that are part of the fabric, not sitting on it. Reorders match the first run exactly because we keep your art and specs on file.
Rosters, numbers, and sponsors all print in the same pass at the same price. If a design will not print well at the size you want, you hear that before money changes hands.
Moisture-wicking blanks where the print breathes with the fabric. Packs mix garment colors freely, so squads, shifts, or grade levels can each get their own.
The shop runs on habits borrowed from the people we serve: accountability by name, honest reporting, and deadlines that do not slide. Big bay customers feel the difference on the first order.
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.
Garment choice makes or breaks the order. These are the blanks Big Bay customers pick most, all designable online on real product photos.
For all-over concepts, start from the boxiest silhouette we carry. Start from a napkin sketch if that is what you have. Turning rough into print ready is the job.
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.
The team-store look: sublimation accents plus embroidery on the fleece hoodie. We handle the art, the sizing spread, and the deadline. You handle handing them out.
Every order includes the design team. They rescue low-resolution logos, invent art from plain descriptions, and keep insignia and period typography accurate when the concept demands it. Twenty-four hours after you send the idea, the proof is in your inbox; as many revisions as it takes come free, and your written sign-off is what starts the presses.
Or open the Design Lab and lay the design out yourself, priced in real time on the exact blank.
Budget planning for Big Bay customers starts with real numbers. This is our light cotton tee pack pricing with the front print already included.

Within 24 hours you have a proof in your inbox, drawn to size, on the garment and color you picked. Revisions are unlimited and free.
The press does not move without your written yes. It is the single checkpoint that makes the no-returns policy fair.

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.
Vector files such as AI, SVG, EPS, and PDF are ideal. A 300 DPI PNG with a transparent background also prints clean. If all you have is a screenshot, we redraw it free.
