From single pieces to full crew runs, Coal City gets sublimated gear with honest pricing and a 5 to 7 day door-to-door timeline.
Coal City 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 Coal City address in 5 to 7 business days.
Coal City is home to about 5,800 people across 5.8 square miles, and every one of those addresses is inside our standard 5 to 7 day delivery window. Nearby crews are already in the coverage circle, with Diamond, IL (2 mi), Carbon Hill, IL (2 mi), Braidwood, IL (3 mi) sharing the identical pack rates and timelines. Naval Station Great Lakes, around 75 miles from Coal City, anchors the local military community we print for every week.
Nothing here needs a storefront. Art goes in by phone or upload, a designer proofs it free, and the shipment lands in Coal City counted against your roster.
Because Diamond sits only 2 miles from Coal City, joint orders across town lines are common here: one proof, one pack price, two delivery stops if needed.
Neck labels and inner details that make merch look retail. What you approve in writing is what ships. That rule has no exceptions.
Jerseys with full-bleed color that survives because it is dye, not ink. Deadlines get treated like formation times, not suggestions.
Rosters, numbers, and sponsors all print in the same pass at the same price. We handle the art, the sizing spread, and the deadline. You handle handing them out.
Performance gear that still performs: the print adds zero weight and zero stiffness. The proof comes first and it is free, so what arrives is exactly what you signed off on.
Whole-garment patterns, from classic camo to unit-designed concepts. Ask for the honest option and you get it, even when it is the cheaper one.
Dedication flags and display pieces printed in full color on polyester. A real designer, not an upload widget, checks every file before it goes near production.
The shop runs on habits borrowed from the people we serve: accountability by name, honest reporting, and deadlines that do not slide. Coal city 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.
Garment choice makes or breaks the order. These are the blanks Coal City customers pick most, all designable online on real product photos.
Sublimated accents with embroidered marks make a hoodie that looks like team store product. Deadlines get treated like formation times, not suggestions.
For all-over concepts, start from the boxiest silhouette we carry. Every price is published before you talk to a person, so the budget math happens on your terms.
Budget practice gear: standard tee, sublimated numbers, done. The proof comes first and it is free, so what arrives is exactly what you signed off on.
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.
Start the budget from the real numbers: published light cotton tee packs, front print built into every figure Coal City customers see.

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.
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.
The proof arrives inside a day, drawn at print size on your chosen garment and color. Change anything, as often as needed, at no cost.
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.
The specs live in our archive permanently: same art, same colors, same result, on demand.
Production plus shipping to Coal City addresses runs 5 to 7 business days standard, tracked the whole way. Shipping is free at 100 pieces and flat rated below that, exactly as shown in the pricing table above.
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.
Yes, and it costs nothing with your order. Send a sketch, an old logo, or just the idea, and a designer sends a print ready proof within 24 hours.
Large orders are the specialty, not the exception: hundreds of mixed-size pieces, roster-counted boxes, one accountable contact.
The extended-size rule fits in one line: add $6 per piece below 25 total, $4 per piece at 25 or more. The Design Lab applies it automatically.
There are no returns on custom orders; once printed, the work is final. That is exactly why production never starts without your written approval of a free proof, and why the size roster deserves a second look before you submit.
The minimum order is 10 pieces. Your coal city 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.
