From single pieces to full crew runs, Downey gets sublimated gear with honest pricing and a 5 to 7 day door-to-door timeline.
Dye bonded into polyester fiber, so it never cracks, peels, or washes out. All-over prints, jerseys, koozies, mugs, and flags. For Downey, that comes with published pack pricing and door delivery in 5 to 7 business days.
Downey covers 0.7 square miles of Iowa, and delivery reaches every address in it on the standard 5 to 7 day window. Nearby crews are already in the coverage circle, with West Branch, IA (4 mi), West Liberty, IA (5 mi), Nichols, IA (9 mi) sharing the identical pack rates and timelines. For the military community, Rock Island Arsenal sits about 41 miles away, well inside our normal unit-order routes.
No storefront visit required. Send a rough idea or finished art, a real designer builds the proof at no charge, and the finished gear ships straight to Downey.
Sublimation demand around Downey does not stop at the town line. Crews from West Branch (4 miles out) order through the same process, which is why coverage is priced by pack, never by zip code.
Full kits with personalization included, because sublimation prints it all at once. Deadlines get treated like formation times, not suggestions.
Moisture-wicking blanks where the print breathes with the fabric. Youth and adult cuts run side by side in the same pack at the same price structure.
Custom patterns and camo concepts printed edge to edge. We handle the art, the sizing spread, and the deadline. You handle handing them out.
Polyester flags and display textiles in complete color. Nobody chases an order here. Your contact tells you where it stands before you have to ask.
The retail touches: printed neck labels and interior branding. Bring a rough idea, even a phone photo of a whiteboard, and our designers make it print ready at no charge.
Seam-to-seam graphics that are part of the fabric, not sitting on it. Ask for the honest option and you get it, even when it is the cheaper one.
We print for units, veterans, and military families every day, and the discipline transfers. Downey customers get straight answers on dates, a named person on their order, and work we would put our own name on.
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 Downey customers, these three earn their keep.
Mix sublimated panels with stitched marks and this hoodie reads team-store retail. Reorders match the first run exactly because we keep your art and specs on file.
All-over designs want the boxiest canvas in the lineup, and this is it. A real designer, not an upload widget, checks every file before it goes near production.
Names and numbers pair with a standard tee for practice gear that does not break the budget. If a design will not print well at the size you want, you hear that before money changes hands.
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.
Prefer hands-on? Build the design yourself in the Design Lab on real product photos, with the running price on screen while you work.
No mystery pricing. These are the published packs on our light cotton tee, front print included, and Downey customers watch the per piece cost fall as quantity climbs.

Back prints add per piece at the rate shown, dropping to $3 at 25 pieces and $2 at 50. 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.
One day later the proof is in your inbox: your art, your garment, your colors, at true print scale. Revisions never cost a cent.
The press does not move without your written yes. It is the single checkpoint that makes the no-returns policy fair.
Standard turnaround is 5 to 7 business days from approval to doorstep, with rush available when the calendar demands it.
Art, thread colors, and size history stay archived, so the next season run starts with one email.
Every order ships tracked to Downey 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.
Before sealing, every carton is counted against the size roster, and tracking goes out the same day. Anything short or damaged gets replaced at our cost on an expedited timeline.
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 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.
Extended sizes carry a flat per-piece add: $6 when the order is under 25 pieces, $4 once it reaches 25. The estimate in the Design Lab applies it for you.
Finality is the nature of custom work: no returns once it prints. Your protections live earlier in the process, in the free proof and the written approval that nothing skips.
Yes, 10 pieces. That is the smallest run we print, packs for your Downey crew keep dropping the per piece price from there, and free shipping starts at 100.
Send whatever exists. Vectors print perfectly, high resolution PNGs print clean, and anything below that gets redrawn free by the design team before it goes near a press.
