Sublimation for Lakota: 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 Lakota, that comes with published pack pricing and door delivery in 5 to 7 business days.
With a community of 685 spread over 1.0 square miles, Lakota gets the same flat delivery promise as everywhere else we serve: 5 to 7 business days to any door. If your people are spread out, that is fine: Michigan City, ND (11 mi), Brocket, ND (12 mi), Crary, ND (13 mi) sit close enough that one order can outfit all of them. Grand Forks Air Force Base, around 59 miles from Lakota, anchors the local military community we print for every week.
The whole process runs remote: rough idea in, free designer-built proof back, written approval, and finished gear delivered to Lakota.
Because Michigan City sits only 11 miles from Lakota, joint orders across town lines are common here: one proof, one pack price, two delivery stops if needed.
Seam-to-seam graphics that are part of the fabric, not sitting on it. Ask for the honest option and you get it, even when it is the cheaper one.
Full kits with personalization included, because sublimation prints it all at once. The proof comes first and it is free, so what arrives is exactly what you signed off on.
Performance gear that still performs: the print adds zero weight and zero stiffness. 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. A real designer, not an upload widget, checks every file before it goes near production.
Full-color polyester flags and displays for events and dedications. Mixed sizes and colors in one run are standard here, not a special request.
Neck labels and inner details that make merch look retail. Every price is published before you talk to a person, so the budget math happens on your terms.
We built this company on a simple standard: print it like the name on it matters. For Lakota customers, that means honest timelines, real proofs, and no excuses on delivery day.
Part of the job is refusing bad orders. When the art, the garment, or the date is wrong, saying so before you pay is the service.
The Design Lab puts your art on the real garment, takes your size counts, and totals the whole order, shipping included, without asking who you are.
Garment choice makes or breaks the order. These are the blanks Lakota customers pick most, all designable online on real product photos.
Names and numbers pair with a standard tee for practice gear that does not break the budget. The proof comes first and it is free, so what arrives is exactly what you signed off on.
Mix sublimated panels with stitched marks and this hoodie reads team-store retail. We handle the art, the sizing spread, and the deadline. You handle handing them out.
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.
The gap between what you have and what a press needs is our designers job to close, free with any order. Whatever the starting point, the output is the same: clean vectors, correct insignia, a proof within 24 hours, and unlimited revisions until you approve it in writing. Only then does anything print.
The Design Lab offers the self-serve path, with your art positioned on real product photos and the total priced as you go.
No mystery pricing. These are the published packs on our light cotton tee, front print included, and Lakota customers watch the per piece cost fall as quantity climbs.
| Order size | Pack total | Cost per piece | Freight | Back side |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pack of 10 | $180 | $18 ea | $18 | $4 ea |
| Pack of 15 | $250 | $16.67 ea | $18 | $4 ea |
| Pack of 20 | $320 | $16 ea | $20.99 | $4 ea |
| Pack of 25 | $375 | $15 ea | $20.99 | $3 ea |
| Pack of 50 | $700 | $14 ea | $22.99 | $2 ea |
| Pack of 100 | $1200 | $12 ea | FREE | $2 ea |
Beyond the table, the only extras are per-piece and public: back prints at the listed rate stepping down to $3 then $2, oversized fronts at $3 dropping to $2, and 2XL-plus at $6 dropping to $4. The Design Lab does this arithmetic for you in real time.
The first step is just getting the idea out of your head: type it into the quote form or mock it up in the Design Lab, rough edges and all.
The proof arrives inside a day, drawn at print size on your chosen garment and color. Change anything, as often as needed, at no cost.
You approve in writing before production starts. No surprises at the box opening, because you already saw the shirt.
Production and shipping run 5 to 7 business days standard. Rush options exist and get quoted honestly against your date.
Art, thread colors, and size history stay archived, so the next season run starts with one email.
Production plus shipping to Lakota 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.
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.
Order ten, order fifty, order five hundred: 10 pieces is our floor, and for your Lakota crew, bigger packs simply pull the per-piece price down.
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.
We do, at the same pace as domestic orders. Deployed and overseas service members at APO and FPO addresses are covered alongside all 50 states.
That is the point of the Design Lab: the complete number, packs, back prints, size upcharges, shipping, updates live while you design, before any contact form.
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.
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.
Yes. Runs in the hundreds of pieces with mixed sizes and colors are our normal work, managed by one point of contact from proof to delivery.
