Sublimation for Vanderbilt: free 24-hour proofs, published pack pricing, and tracked delivery in 5 to 7 business days.
Dye bonded into polyester fiber, so it never cracks, peels, or washes out. All-over prints, jerseys, koozies, mugs, and flags. For Vanderbilt, that comes with published pack pricing and door delivery in 5 to 7 business days.
All 1.9 square miles of Vanderbilt sit inside our normal delivery map, tracked door to door. Nearby crews are already in the coverage circle, with Lolita, TX (4 mi), La Ward, TX (9 mi), Edna, TX (11 mi) sharing the identical pack rates and timelines. For the military community, Naval Air Station Corpus Christi sits about 81 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 Vanderbilt.
Sublimation demand around Vanderbilt does not stop at the town line. Crews from Lolita (4 miles out) order through the same process, which is why coverage is priced by pack, never by zip code.
Seam-to-seam graphics that are part of the fabric, not sitting on it. What you approve in writing is what ships. That rule has no exceptions.
Rosters, numbers, and sponsors all print in the same pass at the same price. Reorders match the first run exactly because we keep your art and specs on file.
Wicking fabric stays wicking, because the dye never blocks the weave. The second order takes two minutes because the first one is archived down to the thread color.
Custom patterns and camo concepts printed edge to edge. Bring a rough idea, even a phone photo of a whiteboard, and our designers make it print ready at no charge.
Dedication flags and display pieces printed in full color on polyester. If a design will not print well at the size you want, you hear that before money changes hands.
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.
Serving the military community is not a marketing line here, it is the operating system. Vanderbilt customers deal with one accountable person, get dates that mean something, and receive work held to a uniform standard.
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.
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.
Start from the garment and the rest follows. Among Vanderbilt customers, these three blanks carry most of the orders, each designable online on its real photos.
Sublimated accents with embroidered marks make a hoodie that looks like team store product. Rush timelines get quoted honestly. If we cannot hit the date, we say so before you pay a cent.
All-over designs want the boxiest canvas in the lineup, and this is it. Every price is published before you talk to a person, so the budget math happens on your terms.
Practice kits pair sublimated names and numbers with this standard tee to stay on budget. A real designer, not an upload widget, checks every file before it goes near production.
The gap between what you have and what a press needs is our designers job to close, free with any order. Whatever the starting point, the output is the same: clean vectors, correct insignia, a proof within 24 hours, and unlimited revisions until you approve it in writing. Only then does anything print.
The Design Lab offers the self-serve path, with your art positioned on real product photos and the total priced as you go.
Start the budget from the real numbers: published light cotton tee packs, front print built into every figure Vanderbilt customers see.
| Quantity | Pack price | Per shirt | Shipping | Add back print |

Three add-ons exist and all are flat per piece: the back print at the table rate ($3 from 25 pieces, $2 from 50), the oversized front at $3 or $2 depending on quantity, and extended sizes at $6 or $4. Nothing else gets added. The Design Lab applies every rule automatically, and the written quote confirms the total before anything is charged.
Kick it off however suits you: describe the concept in the quote form or drop your art straight into the Design Lab. Polish is not required at this stage.
Within 24 hours you have a proof in your inbox, drawn to size, on the garment and color you picked. Revisions are unlimited and free.
You approve in writing before production starts. No surprises at the box opening, because you already saw the shirt.
Five to seven business days covers printing and delivery. Tight timeline? Rush gets a truthful quote, not a hopeful one.
We archive your art and garment specs, which makes the second order a two minute conversation.
Production plus shipping to Vanderbilt addresses runs 5 to 7 business days standard, tracked the whole way. Shipping is free at 100 pieces and flat rated below that, exactly as shown in the pricing table above.
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.
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.
The minimum order is 10 pieces. Your vanderbilt crew can order ten today and a hundred next month; the packs just make each piece cheaper as the count grows.
Best case: vector art (AI, SVG, EPS, PDF). Very good case: a 300 DPI transparent PNG. Worst case: a screenshot, which our designers redraw at no charge anyway.
Yes. We ship to all 50 states and to APO and FPO addresses for deployed and overseas service members.
Yes, and without giving up your email: the Design Lab keeps the complete total, packs to shipping, on screen while you design.
