From single pieces to full crew runs, Kelford gets sublimated gear with honest pricing and a 5 to 7 day door-to-door timeline.
Kelford 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 Kelford address in 5 to 7 business days.
Census numbers put Kelford at a community of 202 on 0.5 square miles of North Carolina, all of it covered by the same tracked shipping. Nearby crews are already in the coverage circle, with Roxobel, NC (2 mi), Lewiston Woodville, NC (5 mi), Aulander, NC (7 mi) sharing the identical pack rates and timelines. For the military community, Coast Guard Air Station Elizabeth City sits about 56 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 Kelford.
A typical week of sublimation orders from this corner of North Carolina mixes Kelford crews with neighbors like Roxobel, 2 miles over, all running through the same designer, the same proof cycle, and the same tracked delivery.
Whole-garment patterns, from classic camo to unit-designed concepts. Packs mix garment colors freely, so squads, shifts, or grade levels can each get their own.
Dedication flags and display pieces printed in full color on polyester. Deadlines get treated like formation times, not suggestions.
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. Start from a napkin sketch if that is what you have. Turning rough into print ready is the job.
Wicking fabric stays wicking, because the dye never blocks the weave. 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. Kelford 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.
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.
Garment choice makes or breaks the order. These are the blanks Kelford customers pick most, all designable online on real product photos.
Mix sublimated panels with stitched marks and this hoodie reads team-store retail. A real designer, not an upload widget, checks every file before it goes near production.
The widest, boxiest blank we stock, which is exactly what edge-to-edge concepts need. Every price is published before you talk to a person, so the budget math happens on your terms.
Names and numbers pair with a standard tee for practice gear that does not break the budget. Every price is published before you talk to a person, so the budget math happens on your terms.
Every order includes the design team. They rescue low-resolution logos, invent art from plain descriptions, and keep insignia and period typography accurate when the concept demands it. Twenty-four hours after you send the idea, the proof is in your inbox; as many revisions as it takes come free, and your written sign-off is what starts the presses.
Or open the Design Lab and lay the design out yourself, priced in real time on the exact blank.
Start the budget from the real numbers: published light cotton tee packs, front print built into every figure Kelford customers see.

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.
Kick it off however suits you: describe the concept in the quote form or drop your art straight into the Design Lab. Polish is not required at this stage.
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.
Approval to doorstep runs 5 to 7 business days as the default, faster when rush is booked and honestly refused when it cannot be.
Everything about the run gets archived, which turns every future reorder into a one-line email.
Every order ships tracked to Kelford 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.
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.
The minimum order is 10 pieces. Your kelford 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.
Yes, APO and FPO delivery is standard here, not an exception, and every state in the country ships the same way.
