Sublimation for North Gate: free 24-hour proofs, published pack pricing, and tracked delivery in 5 to 7 business days.
North Gate 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 North Gate address in 5 to 7 business days.
North Gate covers 0.7 square miles of California, and delivery reaches every address in it on the standard 5 to 7 day window. If your people are spread out, that is fine: Shell Ridge, CA (2 mi), Walnut Creek, CA (2 mi), San Miguel, CA (2 mi) sit close enough that one order can outfit all of them. For the military community, Coast Guard Base Alameda sits about 18 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 North Gate.
Sublimation demand around North Gate does not stop at the town line. Crews from Shell Ridge (2 miles out) order through the same process, which is why coverage is priced by pack, never by zip code.
Wicking fabric stays wicking, because the dye never blocks the weave. Deadlines get treated like formation times, not suggestions.
Whole-garment patterns, from classic camo to unit-designed concepts. Deadlines get treated like formation times, not suggestions.
Full-color polyester flags and displays for events and dedications. A real designer, not an upload widget, checks every file before it goes near production.
Inside-collar branding for crews building a real merch line. Deadlines get treated like formation times, not suggestions.
Edge-to-edge color dyed into the fabric, so the print can never crack or peel. What you approve in writing is what ships. That rule has no exceptions.
Numbers, names, and sponsor logos in one process, one price. Youth and adult cuts run side by side in the same pack at the same price structure.
Serving the military community is not a marketing line here, it is the operating system. North gate customers deal with one accountable person, get dates that mean something, and receive work held to a uniform standard.
Honesty runs in both directions here. A doomed timeline or a design that will disappoint gets called out early, with an alternative attached.
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 North Gate 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. Mixed sizes and colors in one run are standard here, not a special request.
The team-store look: sublimation accents plus embroidery on the fleece hoodie. The proof comes first and it is free, so what arrives is exactly what you signed off on.
For all-over concepts, start from the boxiest silhouette we carry. What you approve in writing is what ships. That rule has no exceptions.
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.
Start the budget from the real numbers: published light cotton tee packs, front print built into every figure North Gate customers see.

A real designer, not an algorithm, sends your proof within 24 hours. You change it as many times as it takes to be right.
