Sublimation for Gratis: free 24-hour proofs, published pack pricing, and tracked delivery in 5 to 7 business days.
Gratis 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 Gratis address in 5 to 7 business days.
Gratis is home to a community of 831 across 1.0 square miles, and every one of those addresses is inside our standard 5 to 7 day delivery window. If your people are spread out, that is fine: West Elkton, OH (4 mi), Farmersville, OH (6 mi), Camden, OH (6 mi) sit close enough that one order can outfit all of them. The closest major installation is Wright-Patterson AFB, roughly 20 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 Gratis.
A typical week of sublimation orders from this corner of Ohio mixes Gratis crews with neighbors like West Elkton, 4 miles over, all running through the same designer, the same proof cycle, and the same tracked delivery.
Edge-to-edge color dyed into the fabric, so the print can never crack or peel. A real designer, not an upload widget, checks every file before it goes near production.
Full kits with personalization included, because sublimation prints it all at once. If a design will not print well at the size you want, you hear that before money changes hands.
Moisture-wicking blanks where the print breathes with the fabric. Deadlines get treated like formation times, not suggestions.
Full-bleed patterns, including unit-specific camo concepts, across the entire garment. Mixed sizes and colors in one run are standard here, not a special request.
Polyester flags and display textiles in complete color. Rush timelines get quoted honestly. If we cannot hit the date, we say so before you pay a cent.
Inside-collar branding for crews building a real merch line. Packs mix garment colors freely, so squads, shifts, or grade levels can each get their own.
Serving the military community is not a marketing line here, it is the operating system. Gratis customers deal with one accountable person, get dates that mean something, and receive work held to a uniform standard.
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.
Garment choice makes or breaks the order. These are the blanks Gratis customers pick most, all designable online on real product photos.
The team-store look: sublimation accents plus embroidery on the fleece hoodie. The second order takes two minutes because the first one is archived down to the thread color.
All-over designs want the boxiest canvas in the lineup, and this is it. Deadlines get treated like formation times, not suggestions.
Practice kits pair sublimated names and numbers with this standard tee to stay on budget. If a design will not print well at the size you want, you hear that before money changes hands.
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.

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.
Twenty-four hours gets you a designer-built proof on the exact blank you chose. Iterate freely until it is right.
Production waits for one thing only: your written sign-off on the proof. That signature is the contract for exactly what prints.
From approval, count 5 to 7 business days to your door. If the event is sooner, ask about rush and get a straight yes or no.
The specs live in our archive permanently: same art, same colors, same result, on demand.
Delivery to Gratis addresses follows one simple clock: 5 to 7 business days including production, with tracking from the moment it leaves. Hit 100 pieces and the shipping line drops to zero.
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.
Our minimum is 10 pieces. Packs for your Gratis crew begin at 10, the per piece price falls as the count climbs, and shipping goes free at 100.
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.
