Custom shirts, hats, and gear for Swansboro crews, printed by a shop that lives for this work and delivered anywhere in North Carolina in 5 to 7 business days.
Swansboro does not need a local print shop to get local-quality gear. Design online, approve a free proof from a real designer within 24 hours, and delivery lands at any Swansboro address in 5 to 7 business days.
Census numbers put Swansboro at about 4,100 people on 2.2 square miles of North Carolina, all of it covered by the same tracked shipping. Nearby crews are already in the coverage circle, with Cedar Point, NC (3 mi), Cape Carteret, NC (4 mi), Peletier, NC (4 mi) sharing the identical pack rates and timelines. The closest major installation is Camp Lejeune, roughly 15 miles out, and unit orders from there run through this same process daily.
The North Carolina military community orders here too: unit and family gear for Fort Liberty and Camp Lejeune, plus every recruiter, Guard unit, and veteran org chapter around Swansboro.
Best per-piece price at volume, with ink that outlives the garment.
Digitized in-house so small text stays sharp on caps and chest logos.
Full color small runs from just 10 pieces.
The all-over method: dye becomes part of the polyester itself.
13oz vinyl banners and signs sized to be read at distance.
From napkin sketch to print-ready vectors, free with any order.
PTA runs, field day tees, and club shirts proofed free and priced by the pack before the order form goes home. Ask for the honest option and you get it, even when it is the cheaper one.
Uniform tees, embroidered caps and polos, and workwear that survives the job. Youth and adult cuts run side by side in the same pack at the same price structure.
The civic calendar runs on volunteers, and volunteers run better in matching shirts. Reorders match the first run exactly because we keep your art and specs on file.
Service group shirts, from food drives to youth retreats, priced openly by the pack. Rush timelines get quoted honestly. If we cannot hit the date, we say so before you pay a cent.
Fundraiser and event tees on deadlines we commit to in writing. Bring a rough idea, even a phone photo of a whiteboard, and our designers make it print ready at no charge.
League jerseys and fan gear where kid and parent sizes share one pack price. Packs mix garment colors freely, so squads, shifts, or grade levels can each get their own.
Serving the military community is not a marketing line here, it is the operating system. Swansboro 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 Swansboro customers, these three blanks carry most of the orders, each designable online on its real photos.
Eighty-plus colors of 5.3oz heavy cotton, from military green to every heather, that keeps its shape through the laundry years. Youth and adult cuts run side by side in the same pack at the same price structure.
An 8.0oz fleece crew with a clean uninterrupted front, the best canvas we stock for big crests and old school block lettering. Reorders match the first run exactly because we keep your art and specs on file.
The budget workhorse for big runs. 4.5oz light ringspun cotton that keeps a 100 piece order affordable, from $12 a shirt at volume with the front print included. We handle the art, the sizing spread, and the deadline. You handle handing them out.
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.
Prefer hands-on? Build the design yourself in the Design Lab on real product photos, with the running price on screen while you work.
Start the budget from the real numbers: published light cotton tee packs, front print built into every figure Swansboro customers see.
