Sublimation for Darwin: free 24-hour proofs, published pack pricing, and tracked delivery in 5 to 7 business days.
Darwin 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 Darwin address in 5 to 7 business days.
All 1.3 square miles of Darwin sit inside our normal delivery map, tracked door to door. Nearby crews are already in the coverage circle, with Keeler, CA (22 mi), Olancha, CA (23 mi), Cartago, CA (25 mi) sharing the identical pack rates and timelines. The closest major installation is NAWS China Lake, roughly 44 miles out, and unit orders from there run through this same process daily.
The whole process runs remote: rough idea in, free designer-built proof back, written approval, and finished gear delivered to Darwin.
Sublimation demand around Darwin does not stop at the town line. Crews from Keeler (22 miles out) order through the same process, which is why coverage is priced by pack, never by zip code.
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. Rush timelines get quoted honestly. If we cannot hit the date, we say so before you pay a cent.
Jerseys with full-bleed color that survives because it is dye, not ink. Every price is published before you talk to a person, so the budget math happens on your terms.
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.
Moisture-wicking blanks where the print breathes with the fabric. Rush timelines get quoted honestly. If we cannot hit the date, we say so before you pay a cent.
Whole-garment patterns, from classic camo to unit-designed concepts. Deadlines get treated like formation times, not suggestions.
We print for units, veterans, and military families every day, and the discipline transfers. Darwin customers get straight answers on dates, a named person on their order, and work we would put our own name on.
It also means we say no when we should. If a design will not print well at the size you want, or a date cannot be hit, you hear it before you spend money, not after.
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.
The right blank depends on budget, season, and how hard the gear will be worn. For Darwin customers, these three earn their keep.
The widest, boxiest blank we stock, which is exactly what edge-to-edge concepts need. 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. Bring a rough idea, even a phone photo of a whiteboard, and our designers make it print ready at no charge.
Mix sublimated panels with stitched marks and this hoodie reads team-store retail. The proof comes first and it is free, so what arrives is exactly what you signed off on.
Most orders here start without finished artwork, and that is fine. Our in-house designers redraw low resolution logos as clean vectors, build new designs from a written description, and match era-correct type and insignia when the design calls for it. The service costs nothing with an order, the first proof lands within 24 hours, and revisions are unlimited. You approve the final art in writing before production, so the shirt that arrives is the shirt you signed off on.
Want to try it yourself first? The Design Lab lets you upload art, add text in stencil and athletic fonts, and position everything on the exact garment with live pricing the whole time.
Start the budget from the real numbers: published light cotton tee packs, front print built into every figure Darwin customers see.

Every heavier garment keeps this same pack shape at its own numbers, and the Design Lab totals it live while you build.

Absolutely. Bulk is where pack pricing shines, and big mixed-size runs ship counted against your roster with a single person accountable for the date.
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.
Due to custom orders, all work is finalized and no returns are accepted. Double check sizing and artwork before submitting your order. Every order gets a free proof first, and nothing prints until you approve it in writing.
