From single pieces to full crew runs, Grayslake gets sublimated gear with honest pricing and a 5 to 7 day door-to-door timeline.
Grayslake 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 Grayslake address in 5 to 7 business days.
Census numbers put Grayslake at about 21,000 people on 10.9 square miles of Illinois, all of it covered by the same tracked shipping. If your people are spread out, that is fine: Hainesville, IL (2 mi), Third Lake, IL (2 mi), Round Lake Park, IL (2 mi) sit close enough that one order can outfit all of them. Naval Station Great Lakes, around 9 miles from Grayslake, anchors the local military community we print for every week.
Nothing here needs a storefront. Art goes in by phone or upload, a designer proofs it free, and the shipment lands in Grayslake counted against your roster.
Because Hainesville sits only 2 miles from Grayslake, joint orders across town lines are common here: one proof, one pack price, two delivery stops if needed.
Full-color polyester flags and displays for events and dedications. Start from a napkin sketch if that is what you have. Turning rough into print ready is the job.
Neck labels and inner details that make merch look retail. We handle the art, the sizing spread, and the deadline. You handle handing them out.
Edge-to-edge color dyed into the fabric, so the print can never crack or peel. If a design will not print well at the size you want, you hear that before money changes hands.
Rosters, numbers, and sponsors all print in the same pass at the same price. Reorders match the first run exactly because we keep your art and specs on file.
Performance gear that still performs: the print adds zero weight and zero stiffness. We handle the art, the sizing spread, and the deadline. You handle handing them out.
Whole-garment patterns, from classic camo to unit-designed concepts. Rush timelines get quoted honestly. If we cannot hit the date, we say so before you pay a cent.
Serving the military community is not a marketing line here, it is the operating system. Grayslake 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.
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 Grayslake 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. If a design will not print well at the size you want, you hear that before money changes hands.
Sublimated accents with embroidered marks make a hoodie that looks like team store product. What you approve in writing is what ships. That rule has no exceptions.
All-over designs want the boxiest canvas in the lineup, and this is it. Nobody chases an order here. Your contact tells you where it stands before you have to ask.
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.
Here is what Grayslake 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 |
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.
Two doors in: the quote form if you want a person on it immediately, or the Design Lab if you want to see it on the garment first. Either way, unfinished ideas are the expected input.
One day later the proof is in your inbox: your art, your garment, your colors, at true print scale. Revisions never cost a cent.
Your written approval is the gate. Until it exists, nothing prints; once it exists, exactly that design prints.
Standard turnaround is 5 to 7 business days from approval to doorstep, with rush available when the calendar demands it.
Your art and specs stay on file, so reorders match the first run exactly, down to the ink.
Production plus shipping to Grayslake addresses runs 5 to 7 business days standard, tracked the whole way. Shipping is free at 100 pieces and flat rated below that, exactly as shown in the pricing table above.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The minimum order is 10 pieces. Your grayslake crew can order ten today and a hundred next month; the packs just make each piece cheaper as the count grows.
File quality is our problem, not yours: vectors are ideal, 300 DPI PNGs work, and weak files get redrawn at no charge.
Deployed addresses are first-class here: APO and FPO ship on the standard timeline, right alongside all 50 states.
