From single pieces to full crew runs, Melrose gets sublimated gear with honest pricing and a 5 to 7 day door-to-door timeline.
Melrose 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 Melrose address in 5 to 7 business days.
Melrose is home to a community of 531 across 0.8 square miles, and every one of those addresses is inside our standard 5 to 7 day delivery window. Nearby crews are already in the coverage circle, with Cataract, WI (8 mi), Mindoro, WI (9 mi), Ettrick, WI (14 mi) sharing the identical pack rates and timelines. The closest major installation is Fort McCoy, roughly 16 miles out, and unit orders from there run through this same process daily.
Nothing here needs a storefront. Art goes in by phone or upload, a designer proofs it free, and the shipment lands in Melrose counted against your roster.
Because Cataract sits only 8 miles from Melrose, 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. Ask for the honest option and you get it, even when it is the cheaper one.
Full-bleed patterns, including unit-specific camo concepts, across the entire garment. Nobody chases an order here. Your contact tells you where it stands before you have to ask.
Dedication flags and display pieces printed in full color on polyester. Reorders match the first run exactly because we keep your art and specs on file.
Inside-collar branding for crews building a real merch line. Bring a rough idea, even a phone photo of a whiteboard, and our designers make it print ready at no charge.
Seam-to-seam graphics that are part of the fabric, not sitting on it. 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. The second order takes two minutes because the first one is archived down to the thread color.
We built this company on a simple standard: print it like the name on it matters. For Melrose customers, that means honest timelines, real proofs, and no excuses on delivery day.
The same discipline applies inward: an unrealistic date or a design that will not print well gets flagged before you commit, not explained after.
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 Melrose customers pick most, all designable online on real product photos.
The team-store look: sublimation accents plus embroidery on the fleece hoodie. We handle the art, the sizing spread, and the deadline. You handle handing them out.
All-over designs want the boxiest canvas in the lineup, and this is it. Youth and adult cuts run side by side in the same pack at the same price structure.
Budget practice gear: standard tee, sublimated numbers, done. 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.
Budget planning for Melrose customers starts with real numbers. This is our light cotton tee pack pricing with the front print already included.

Every heavier garment keeps this same pack shape at its own numbers, and the Design Lab totals it live while you build.
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.
A real designer, not an algorithm, sends your proof within 24 hours. You change it as many times as it takes to be right.
You approve in writing before production starts. No surprises at the box opening, because you already saw the shirt.
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.
Delivery to Melrose addresses follows one simple clock: 5 to 7 business days including production, with tracking from the moment it leaves. Hit 100 pieces and the shipping line drops to zero.
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.
Yes. We ship to all 50 states and to APO and FPO addresses for deployed and overseas service members.
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.
Count 5 to 7 business days from approval to doorstep, production included. Tighter date? Ask about rush and you get a straight answer before paying.
Included with every order: a designer turns whatever you send into print-ready art, proofs it within 24 hours, and revises free until approved.
Large orders are the specialty, not the exception: hundreds of mixed-size pieces, roster-counted boxes, one accountable contact.
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.
