Sublimation for Tribune: free 24-hour proofs, published pack pricing, and tracked delivery in 5 to 7 business days.
Tribune 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 Tribune address in 5 to 7 business days.
Census numbers put Tribune at a community of 713 on 0.7 square miles of Kansas, all of it covered by the same tracked shipping. The same run covers the neighboring communities too: Horace, KS (2 mi), Greeley County, KS (3 mi), Towner, CO (18 mi) all order from the same shop at the same published pricing. Fort Carson, around 164 miles from Tribune, 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 Tribune.
Sublimation demand around Tribune does not stop at the town line. Crews from Horace (2 miles out) order through the same process, which is why coverage is priced by pack, never by zip code.
Performance gear that still performs: the print adds zero weight and zero stiffness. 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. We handle the art, the sizing spread, and the deadline. You handle handing them out.
Polyester flags and display textiles in complete color. Nobody chases an order here. Your contact tells you where it stands before you have to ask.
Inside-collar branding for crews building a real merch line. Rush timelines get quoted honestly. If we cannot hit the date, we say so before you pay a cent.
Seam-to-seam graphics that are part of the fabric, not sitting on it. We handle the art, the sizing spread, and the deadline. You handle handing them out.
Rosters, numbers, and sponsors all print in the same pass at the same price. One point of contact owns your order from first proof to delivery confirmation.
The shop runs on habits borrowed from the people we serve: accountability by name, honest reporting, and deadlines that do not slide. Tribune customers feel the difference on the first order.
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.
Garment choice makes or breaks the order. These are the blanks Tribune 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. One point of contact owns your order from first proof to delivery confirmation.
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.
All-over designs want the boxiest canvas in the lineup, and this is it. Reorders match the first run exactly because we keep your art and specs on file.
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.
The table below is the actual price list Tribune customers order from, light cotton tee, front print included, no asterisks.

Add-on pricing is deliberately boring: back print per the table (later $3, then $2), oversize front $3 or $2 by volume, extended sizes $6 or $4 by volume. That is the complete list, and the Design Lab computes it live before any quote is written.
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.
One day later the proof is in your inbox: your art, your garment, your colors, at true print scale. Revisions never cost a cent.
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.
Everything about the run gets archived, which turns every future reorder into a one-line email.
Count 5 to 7 business days, production included, for tracked delivery to Tribune addresses. At 100 pieces shipping costs nothing; under that, the flat rates in the table are the whole story.
Boxes get counted twice against the roster before they seal, and the tracking number reaches you the day of pickup. Damage or shortage claims are our expense and our rush.
Five to seven business days, all in, from approval to arrival. Rush exists for real deadlines and gets an honest yes or no up front.
Design help is included free. Whatever you have, a napkin sketch, a faded shirt photo, a sentence, becomes a print-ready proof from a real designer within 24 hours.
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.
Custom work does not come back: due to custom orders, all work is finalized and no returns are accepted. The protection is up front instead, a free proof that must be approved in writing before anything prints, so check sizing and art carefully at that stage.
Our minimum is 10 pieces. Packs for your Tribune crew begin at 10, the per piece price falls as the count climbs, and shipping goes free 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.
