Custom sublimated gear for Groton businesses, schools, teams, churches, and crews. Proofs in 24 hours, delivered in 5 to 7 days.
Groton 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 Groton address in 5 to 7 business days.
Groton is home to about 2,100 people across 1.7 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: McLean, NY (4 mi), Freeville, NY (5 mi), Cortland West, NY (7 mi) sit close enough that one order can outfit all of them. For the military community, Tobyhanna Army Depot sits about 89 miles away, well inside our normal unit-order routes.
The whole process runs remote: rough idea in, free designer-built proof back, written approval, and finished gear delivered to Groton.
A typical week of sublimation orders from this corner of New York mixes Groton crews with neighbors like McLean, 4 miles over, all running through the same designer, the same proof cycle, and the same tracked delivery.
Performance gear that still performs: the print adds zero weight and zero stiffness. The second order takes two minutes because the first one is archived down to the thread color.
Full-bleed patterns, including unit-specific camo concepts, across the entire garment. The second order takes two minutes because the first one is archived down to the thread color.
Dedication flags and display pieces printed in full color on polyester. Youth and adult cuts run side by side in the same pack at the same price structure.
Neck labels and inner details that make merch look retail. Youth and adult cuts run side by side in the same pack at the same price structure.
Edge-to-edge color dyed into the fabric, so the print can never crack or peel. Start from a napkin sketch if that is what you have. Turning rough into print ready is the job.
Full kits with personalization included, because sublimation prints it all at once. What you approve in writing is what ships. That rule has no exceptions.
This shop exists for the military community, and it shows in how orders run. Deadlines are treated like formation times, proofs are honest instead of optimistic, and when Groton customers call, a person who owns the order answers.
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.
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 Groton customers, these three earn their keep.
Mix sublimated panels with stitched marks and this hoodie reads team-store retail. Every price is published before you talk to a person, so the budget math happens on your terms.
All-over designs want the boxiest canvas in the lineup, and this is it. Mixed sizes and colors in one run are standard here, not a special request.
Names and numbers pair with a standard tee for practice gear that does not break the budget. Youth and adult cuts run side by side in the same pack at the same price structure.
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.
Budget planning for Groton customers starts with real numbers. This is our light cotton tee pack pricing with the front print already included.

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.
Sizes 2XL and up add $6 per piece under 25 total pieces, or $4 per piece at 25 or more. The Design Lab includes it in your estimate automatically.
There are no returns on custom orders; once printed, the work is final. That is exactly why production never starts without your written approval of a free proof, and why the size roster deserves a second look before you submit.
Order ten, order fifty, order five hundred: 10 pieces is our floor, and for your Groton crew, bigger packs simply pull the per-piece price down.
