Sublimation for Story City: free 24-hour proofs, published pack pricing, and tracked delivery in 5 to 7 business days.
Story City 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 Story City address in 5 to 7 business days.
With about 3,400 people spread over 2.9 square miles, Story City gets the same flat delivery promise as everywhere else we serve: 5 to 7 business days to any door. The same run covers the neighboring communities too: Randall, IA (4 mi), Roland, IA (5 mi), Gilbert, IA (6 mi) all order from the same shop at the same published pricing. The closest major installation is Camp Dodge, roughly 35 miles out, and unit orders from there run through this same process daily.
No storefront visit required. Send a rough idea or finished art, a real designer builds the proof at no charge, and the finished gear ships straight to Story City.
A typical week of sublimation orders from this corner of Iowa mixes Story City crews with neighbors like Randall, 4 miles over, all running through the same designer, the same proof cycle, and the same tracked delivery.
Inside-collar branding for crews building a real merch line. Nobody chases an order here. Your contact tells you where it stands before you have to ask.
Edge-to-edge color dyed into the fabric, so the print can never crack or peel. A real designer, not an upload widget, checks every file before it goes near production.
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.
Wicking fabric stays wicking, because the dye never blocks the weave. The proof comes first and it is free, so what arrives is exactly what you signed off on.
Custom patterns and camo concepts printed edge to edge. What you approve in writing is what ships. That rule has no exceptions.
Dedication flags and display pieces printed in full color on polyester. Ask for the honest option and you get it, even when it is the cheaper one.
This shop exists for the military community, and it shows in how orders run. Deadlines are treated like formation times, proofs are honest instead of optimistic, and when Story City customers call, a person who owns the order answers.
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.
Ninety seconds in the Design Lab gets you a complete number: garment, print, sizes, upcharges, and shipping, all before any contact form.
Start from the garment and the rest follows. Among Story City customers, these three blanks carry most of the orders, each designable online on its real photos.
For all-over concepts, start from the boxiest silhouette we carry. Rush timelines get quoted honestly. If we cannot hit the date, we say so before you pay a cent.
Practice kits pair sublimated names and numbers with this standard tee to stay on budget. Rush timelines get quoted honestly. If we cannot hit the date, we say so before you pay a cent.
The team-store look: sublimation accents plus embroidery on the fleece hoodie. If a design will not print well at the size you want, you hear that before money changes hands.
Most orders here start without finished artwork, and that is fine. Our in-house designers redraw low resolution logos as clean vectors, build new designs from a written description, and match era-correct type and insignia when the design calls for it. The service costs nothing with an order, the first proof lands within 24 hours, and revisions are unlimited. You approve the final art in writing before production, so the shirt that arrives is the shirt you signed off on.
Want to try it yourself first? The Design Lab lets you upload art, add text in stencil and athletic fonts, and position everything on the exact garment with live pricing the whole time.
Start the budget from the real numbers: published light cotton tee packs, front print built into every figure Story City customers see.
