Sublimation for Bloomington: free 24-hour proofs, published pack pricing, and tracked delivery in 5 to 7 business days.
Bloomington 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 Bloomington address in 5 to 7 business days.
With about 79,000 people spread over 27.1 square miles, Bloomington gets the same flat delivery promise as everywhere else we serve: 5 to 7 business days to any door. Nearby crews are already in the coverage circle, with Normal, IL (3 mi), Downs, IL (7 mi), Shirley, IL (7 mi) sharing the identical pack rates and timelines. Rock Island Arsenal, around 109 miles from Bloomington, anchors the local military community we print for every week.
The whole process runs remote: rough idea in, free designer-built proof back, written approval, and finished gear delivered to Bloomington.
A typical week of sublimation orders from this corner of Illinois mixes Bloomington crews with neighbors like Normal, 3 miles over, all running through the same designer, the same proof cycle, and the same tracked delivery.
Seam-to-seam graphics that are part of the fabric, not sitting on it. Deadlines get treated like formation times, not suggestions.
Rosters, numbers, and sponsors all print in the same pass at the same price. Reorders match the first run exactly because we keep your art and specs on file.
Performance gear that still performs: the print adds zero weight and zero stiffness. We handle the art, the sizing spread, and the deadline. You handle handing them out.
Custom patterns and camo concepts printed edge to edge. The second order takes two minutes because the first one is archived down to the thread color.
Dedication flags and display pieces printed in full color on polyester. Mixed sizes and colors in one run are standard here, not a special request.
Neck labels and inner details that make merch look retail. Deadlines get treated like formation times, not suggestions.
We built this company on a simple standard: print it like the name on it matters. For Bloomington customers, that means honest timelines, real proofs, and no excuses on delivery day.
Honesty runs in both directions here. A doomed timeline or a design that will disappoint gets called out early, with an alternative attached.
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.
The right blank depends on budget, season, and how hard the gear will be worn. For Bloomington customers, these three earn their keep.
The team-store look: sublimation accents plus embroidery on the fleece hoodie. Youth and adult cuts run side by side in the same pack at the same price structure.
All-over designs want the boxiest canvas in the lineup, and this is it. Every price is published before you talk to a person, so the budget math happens on your terms.
Names and numbers pair with a standard tee for practice gear that does not break the budget. Packs mix garment colors freely, so squads, shifts, or grade levels can each get their own.
Design help is not an upsell here, it is how orders start. Describe the concept in a sentence, attach whatever reference you have, and within 24 hours a real designer returns a proof drawn as clean vectors, era-correct where it matters. Revisions cost nothing and continue until the proof is right, and your written approval is the only thing that sends it to production.
The Design Lab is there when you want to drive: upload, place, and price the design yourself on the exact garment we print.
The table below is the actual price list Bloomington customers order from, light cotton tee, front print included, no asterisks.

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.
Send the idea through the quote form or build it yourself in the Design Lab. A napkin sketch photographed on a phone counts, our designers have built full unit runs from less.
One day later the proof is in your inbox: your art, your garment, your colors, at true print scale. Revisions never cost a cent.
Your written approval is the gate. Until it exists, nothing prints; once it exists, exactly that design prints.
Approval to doorstep runs 5 to 7 business days as the default, faster when rush is booked and honestly refused when it cannot be.
Everything about the run gets archived, which turns every future reorder into a one-line email.
The timeline to Bloomington addresses is fixed and published: 5 to 7 business days door to door, production included. Shipping rates are flat, visible in the table, and free from 100 pieces.
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.
The minimum order is 10 pieces. Your bloomington crew can order ten today and a hundred next month; the packs just make each piece cheaper as the count grows.
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.
Deployed addresses are first-class here: APO and FPO ship on the standard timeline, right alongside all 50 states.
Yes, and without giving up your email: the Design Lab keeps the complete total, packs to shipping, on screen while you design.
Count 5 to 7 business days from approval to doorstep, production included. Tighter date? Ask about rush and you get a straight answer before paying.
Included with every order: a designer turns whatever you send into print-ready art, proofs it within 24 hours, and revises free until approved.
Large orders are the specialty, not the exception: hundreds of mixed-size pieces, roster-counted boxes, one accountable contact.
