Sublimation for Lake Bluff: 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 Lake Bluff, that comes with published pack pricing and door delivery in 5 to 7 business days.
Census numbers put Lake Bluff at about 5,500 people on 4.1 square miles of Illinois, all of it covered by the same tracked shipping. The same run covers the neighboring communities too: Knollwood, IL (1 mi), North Chicago, IL (2 mi), Green Oaks, IL (3 mi) all order from the same shop at the same published pricing. The closest major installation is Naval Station Great Lakes, roughly 2 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 Lake Bluff.
Because Knollwood sits only 1 miles from Lake Bluff, joint orders across town lines are common here: one proof, one pack price, two delivery stops if needed.
Moisture-wicking blanks where the print breathes with the fabric. Youth and adult cuts run side by side in the same pack at the same price structure.
Whole-garment patterns, from classic camo to unit-designed concepts. Reorders match the first run exactly because we keep your art and specs on file.
Full-color polyester flags and displays for events and dedications. The proof comes first and it is free, so what arrives is exactly what you signed off on.
Neck labels and inner details that make merch look retail. Ask for the honest option and you get it, even when it is the cheaper one.
Edge-to-edge color dyed into the fabric, so the print can never crack or peel. Rush timelines get quoted honestly. If we cannot hit the date, we say so before you pay a cent.
Full kits with personalization included, because sublimation prints it all at once. Deadlines get treated like formation times, not suggestions.
We built this company on a simple standard: print it like the name on it matters. For Lake Bluff customers, that means honest timelines, real proofs, and no excuses on delivery day.
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.
The right blank depends on budget, season, and how hard the gear will be worn. For Lake Bluff customers, these three earn their keep.
For all-over concepts, start from the boxiest silhouette we carry. Bring a rough idea, even a phone photo of a whiteboard, and our designers make it print ready at no charge.
Names and numbers pair with a standard tee for practice gear that does not break the budget. A real designer, not an upload widget, checks every file before it goes near production.
Sublimated accents with embroidered marks make a hoodie that looks like team store product. Every price is published before you talk to a person, so the budget math happens on your terms.
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.

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.
A real designer, not an algorithm, sends your proof within 24 hours. You change it as many times as it takes to be right.
The press does not move without your written yes. It is the single checkpoint that makes the no-returns policy fair.
Standard turnaround is 5 to 7 business days from approval to doorstep, with rush available when the calendar demands it.
Art, thread colors, and size history stay archived, so the next season run starts with one email.
Production plus shipping to Lake Bluff 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.
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.
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 lake bluff crew can order ten today and a hundred next month; the packs just make each piece cheaper as the count grows.
Vector files such as AI, SVG, EPS, and PDF are ideal. A 300 DPI PNG with a transparent background also prints clean. If all you have is a screenshot, we redraw it free.
Deployed addresses are first-class here: APO and FPO ship on the standard timeline, right alongside all 50 states.
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.
