Sublimation for Dale City: 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 Dale City, that comes with published pack pricing and door delivery in 5 to 7 business days.
From one end of Dale City to the other, 14.2 square miles, the shipping promise does not change: 5 to 7 business days, tracked. Nearby crews are already in the coverage circle, with Montclair, VA (2 mi), Potomac Mills, VA (3 mi), County Center, VA (3 mi) sharing the identical pack rates and timelines. The closest major installation is MCB Quantico, roughly 9 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 Dale City counted against your roster.
Because Montclair sits only 2 miles from Dale City, joint orders across town lines are common here: one proof, one pack price, two delivery stops if needed.
Edge-to-edge color dyed into the fabric, so the print can never crack or peel. Deadlines get treated like formation times, not suggestions.
Rosters, numbers, and sponsors all print in the same pass at the same price. Youth and adult cuts run side by side in the same pack at the same price structure.
Wicking fabric stays wicking, because the dye never blocks the weave. The proof comes first and it is free, so what arrives is exactly what you signed off on.
Full-bleed patterns, including unit-specific camo concepts, across the entire garment. The proof comes first and it is free, so what arrives is exactly what you signed off on.
Dedication flags and display pieces printed in full color on polyester. Start from a napkin sketch if that is what you have. Turning rough into print ready is the job.
The retail touches: printed neck labels and interior branding. Deadlines get treated like formation times, not suggestions.
Serving the military community is not a marketing line here, it is the operating system. Dale city customers deal with one accountable person, get dates that mean something, and receive work held to a uniform standard.
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 Dale City customers pick most, all designable online on real product photos.
Practice kits pair sublimated names and numbers with this standard tee to stay on budget. Youth and adult cuts run side by side in the same pack at the same price structure.
Sublimated accents with embroidered marks make a hoodie that looks like team store product. Mixed sizes and colors in one run are standard here, not a special request.
The widest, boxiest blank we stock, which is exactly what edge-to-edge concepts need. We handle the art, the sizing spread, and the deadline. You handle handing them out.
Half the orders we take begin as a phone photo of a sketch, an old shirt, or a sentence describing the idea. A designer turns that into print-ready vector art at no charge, sends the proof inside 24 hours, and revises it until you sign off in writing. Nothing is produced before that signature, which is why what shows up matches what you expected.

Three add-ons exist and all are flat per piece: the back print at the table rate ($3 from 25 pieces, $2 from 50), the oversized front at $3 or $2 depending on quantity, and extended sizes at $6 or $4. Nothing else gets added. The Design Lab applies every rule automatically, and the written quote confirms the total before anything is charged.
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.
A real designer, not an algorithm, sends your proof within 24 hours. You change it as many times as it takes to be right.
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.
Every order ships tracked to Dale City addresses with standard production plus shipping at 5 to 7 business days. Free shipping kicks in at 100 pieces, and pack shipping rates below that are published, not surprises at checkout.
The roster is the packing list: every size counted into the box, tracking issued at pickup, and any shortage or transit damage made right at our cost without argument.
Order ten, order fifty, order five hundred: 10 pieces is our floor, and for your Dale City crew, bigger packs simply pull the per-piece price down.
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.

Large runs are the core business: hundreds of pieces, mixed sizes, multiple colors, one named contact who owns it from first proof to the delivery scan.
