Sublimation for Golden 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 Golden City, that comes with published pack pricing and door delivery in 5 to 7 business days.
With a community of 657 spread over 1.0 square miles, Golden City gets the same flat delivery promise as everywhere else we serve: 5 to 7 business days to any door. The same run covers the neighboring communities too: Lockwood, MO (7 mi), Jasper, MO (12 mi), Lamar, MO (12 mi) all order from the same shop at the same published pricing. The closest major installation is Whiteman Air Force Base, roughly 99 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 Golden City.
A typical week of sublimation orders from this corner of Missouri mixes Golden City crews with neighbors like Lockwood, 7 miles over, all running through the same designer, the same proof cycle, and the same tracked delivery.
The retail touches: printed neck labels and interior branding. Packs mix garment colors freely, so squads, shifts, or grade levels can each get their own.
Jerseys with full-bleed color that survives because it is dye, not ink. Youth and adult cuts run side by side in the same pack at the same price structure.
Full kits with personalization included, because sublimation prints it all at once. Bring a rough idea, even a phone photo of a whiteboard, and our designers make it print ready at no charge.
Wicking fabric stays wicking, because the dye never blocks the weave. 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. Mixed sizes and colors in one run are standard here, not a special request.
Dedication flags and display pieces printed in full color on polyester. Deadlines get treated like formation times, not suggestions.
The shop runs on habits borrowed from the people we serve: accountability by name, honest reporting, and deadlines that do not slide. Golden city customers feel the difference on the first order.
That standard cuts both ways. If your art needs work or your timeline is impossible, we tell you up front and offer the fix, because a bad shirt with our print on it costs us more than the order.
Ninety seconds in the Design Lab gets you a complete number: garment, print, sizes, upcharges, and shipping, all before any contact form.
Start from the garment and the rest follows. Among Golden City customers, these three blanks carry most of the orders, each designable online on its real photos.
Budget practice gear: standard tee, sublimated numbers, done. Ask for the honest option and you get it, even when it is the cheaper one.
Mix sublimated panels with stitched marks and this hoodie reads team-store retail. What you approve in writing is what ships. That rule has no exceptions.
The widest, boxiest blank we stock, which is exactly what edge-to-edge concepts need. A real designer, not an upload widget, checks every file before it goes near production.
Finished files are welcome but never required. A faded photo, a hand sketch, or three sentences of description all become professional vector art at no charge, proofed back to you within a day. The revision count is unlimited, the approval is in writing, and production does not move an inch until that approval exists.
Hands-on types can skip the wait entirely: the Design Lab puts your art on the actual garment with the price updating live.
Here is what Golden City customers actually pay, starting from our light cotton tee. Every price includes a standard front print, and the number only moves down as the pack gets bigger.
| Quantity | Pack price | Per shirt | Shipping | Add back print |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 pieces | $180 | $18 ea | $18 | $4 ea |
| 15 pieces | $250 | $16.67 ea | $18 | $4 ea |
| 20 pieces | $320 | $16 ea | $20.99 | $4 ea |
| 25 pieces | $375 | $15 ea | $20.99 | $3 ea |
| 50 pieces | $700 | $14 ea | $22.99 | $2 ea |
| 100 pieces | $1200 | $12 ea | FREE | $2 ea |
Add-on pricing is deliberately boring: back print per the table (later $3, then $2), oversize front $3 or $2 by volume, extended sizes $6 or $4 by volume. That is the complete list, and the Design Lab computes it live before any quote is written.
The first step is just getting the idea out of your head: type it into the quote form or mock it up in the Design Lab, rough edges and all.
A real designer, not an algorithm, sends your proof within 24 hours. You change it as many times as it takes to be right.
Production waits for one thing only: your written sign-off on the proof. That signature is the contract for exactly what 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.
Art, thread colors, and size history stay archived, so the next season run starts with one email.
The timeline to Golden City addresses is fixed and published: 5 to 7 business days door to door, production included. Shipping rates are flat, visible in the table, and free from 100 pieces.
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.
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.
Our minimum is 10 pieces. Packs for your Golden City crew begin at 10, the per piece price falls as the count climbs, and shipping goes free 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.
Yes. We ship to all 50 states and to APO and FPO addresses for deployed and overseas service members.
Completely. Build the design in the Design Lab and the full order total sits on screen the whole time; no email, no call, no waiting.
The standard clock is 5 to 7 business days covering both production and delivery. Many orders can run faster; name the date and we will confirm or decline honestly.
