Custom sublimated gear for Shepherd businesses, schools, teams, churches, and crews. Proofs in 24 hours, delivered in 5 to 7 days.
Dye bonded into polyester fiber, so it never cracks, peels, or washes out. All-over prints, jerseys, koozies, mugs, and flags. For Shepherd, that comes with published pack pricing and door delivery in 5 to 7 business days.
Census numbers put Shepherd at about 1,500 people on 1.0 square miles of Michigan, all of it covered by the same tracked shipping. The same run covers the neighboring communities too: Mount Pleasant, MI (7 mi), St. Louis, MI (9 mi), Alma, MI (10 mi) all order from the same shop at the same published pricing. Camp Grayling, around 78 miles from Shepherd, 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 Shepherd.
Because Mount Pleasant sits only 7 miles from Shepherd, 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.
Custom patterns and camo concepts printed edge to edge. The proof comes first and it is free, so what arrives is exactly what you signed off on.
Polyester flags and display textiles in complete color. Deadlines get treated like formation times, not suggestions.
The retail touches: printed neck labels and interior branding. The proof comes first and it is free, so what arrives is exactly what you signed off on.
Jerseys with full-bleed color that survives because it is dye, not ink. Bring a rough idea, even a phone photo of a whiteboard, and our designers make it print ready at no charge.
Numbers, names, and sponsor logos in one process, one price. The proof comes first and it is free, so what arrives is exactly what you signed off on.
We print for units, veterans, and military families every day, and the discipline transfers. Shepherd customers get straight answers on dates, a named person on their order, and work we would put our own name on.
The same discipline applies inward: an unrealistic date or a design that will not print well gets flagged before you commit, not explained after.
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 Shepherd customers pick most, all designable online on real product photos.
Practice kits pair sublimated names and numbers with this standard tee to stay on budget. If a design will not print well at the size you want, you hear that before money changes hands.
Mix sublimated panels with stitched marks and this hoodie reads team-store retail. The proof comes first and it is free, so what arrives is exactly what you signed off on.
All-over designs want the boxiest canvas in the lineup, and this is it. Bring a rough idea, even a phone photo of a whiteboard, and our designers make it print ready at no charge.
Half the orders we take begin as a phone photo of a sketch, an old shirt, or a sentence describing the idea. A designer turns that into print-ready vector art at no charge, sends the proof inside 24 hours, and revises it until you sign off in writing. Nothing is produced before that signature, which is why what shows up matches what you expected.

Start the budget from the real numbers: published light cotton tee packs, front print built into every figure Shepherd customers see.

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.
Two doors in: the quote form if you want a person on it immediately, or the Design Lab if you want to see it on the garment first. Either way, unfinished ideas are the expected input.
Twenty-four hours gets you a designer-built proof on the exact blank you chose. Iterate freely until it is right.
Production waits for one thing only: your written sign-off on the proof. That signature is the contract for exactly what prints.
From approval, count 5 to 7 business days to your door. If the event is sooner, ask about rush and get a straight yes or no.
We archive your art and garment specs, which makes the second order a two minute conversation.
Delivery to Shepherd 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.
Orders ship boxed and counted against your size roster, with tracking sent the day they leave. If anything arrives short or damaged, photograph it and send it over, and we correct it at our cost.
Simple math: 2XL and up cost $6 more per piece on small orders and $4 more per piece from 25 pieces. No other size fees exist, and the Design Lab totals it live.
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.
Yes, 10 pieces. That is the smallest run we print, packs for your Shepherd crew keep dropping the per piece price from there, and free shipping starts at 100.
Send whatever exists. Vectors print perfectly, high resolution PNGs print clean, and anything below that gets redrawn free by the design team before it goes near a press.
Yes, APO and FPO delivery is standard here, not an exception, and every state in the country ships the same way.
Yes, and without giving up your email: the Design Lab keeps the complete total, packs to shipping, on screen while you design.
