From single pieces to full crew runs, Castine gets sublimated gear with honest pricing and a 5 to 7 day door-to-door timeline.
Castine 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 Castine address in 5 to 7 business days.
Castine covers 1.5 square miles of Maine, and delivery reaches every address in it on the standard 5 to 7 day window. Nearby crews are already in the coverage circle, with Searsport, ME (8 mi), Belfast, ME (11 mi), Blue Hill, ME (11 mi) sharing the identical pack rates and timelines. The closest major installation is Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, roughly 132 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 Castine counted against your roster.
Because Searsport sits only 8 miles from Castine, joint orders across town lines are common here: one proof, one pack price, two delivery stops if needed.
Numbers, names, and sponsor logos in one process, one price. Packs mix garment colors freely, so squads, shifts, or grade levels can each get their own.
Moisture-wicking blanks where the print breathes with the fabric. Start from a napkin sketch if that is what you have. Turning rough into print ready is the job.
Full-bleed patterns, including unit-specific camo concepts, across the entire garment. Bring a rough idea, even a phone photo of a whiteboard, and our designers make it print ready at no charge.
Dedication flags and display pieces printed in full color on polyester. Every price is published before you talk to a person, so the budget math happens on your terms.
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.
Seam-to-seam graphics that are part of the fabric, not sitting on it. Mixed sizes and colors in one run are standard here, not a special request.
The shop runs on habits borrowed from the people we serve: accountability by name, honest reporting, and deadlines that do not slide. Castine customers feel the difference on the first order.
Part of the job is refusing bad orders. When the art, the garment, or the date is wrong, saying so before you pay is the service.
Ninety seconds in the Design Lab gets you a complete number: garment, print, sizes, upcharges, and shipping, all before any contact form.
The right blank depends on budget, season, and how hard the gear will be worn. For Castine customers, these three earn their keep.
Mix sublimated panels with stitched marks and this hoodie reads team-store retail. Ask for the honest option and you get it, even when it is the cheaper one.
All-over designs want the boxiest canvas in the lineup, and this is it. Packs mix garment colors freely, so squads, shifts, or grade levels can each get their own.
Practice kits pair sublimated names and numbers with this standard tee to stay on budget. Packs mix garment colors freely, so squads, shifts, or grade levels can each get their own.
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.
Start the budget from the real numbers: published light cotton tee packs, front print built into every figure Castine customers see.
