DTF transfers in Evanston, for people working to a date

Evanston’s apparel orders have a deadline attached more often than not. A philanthropy week, a formal, a home game, a Main Street shop’s holiday window. We print twenty miles west of you and ship ground overnight, which is usually the difference between making the date and apologising for it.

The deadline is the product

A student org that decides on Sunday it needs sixty shirts for Thursday is not an unusual customer here, it is the normal one. That job fails on a national supplier not because the printing is slow but because the shipping is. Same-day print plus one day of ground from Schaumburg leaves two clear days to press and hand out, which is enough.

It also means you can decide late. Roster changed, a sponsor got added, the design got vetoed on Monday night: reorder Tuesday morning and it is still fine.

Who orders here

• Student organisations, club sports and dance teams. Small runs, mixed sizes, a design that changes every season and a budget that does not stretch to screen setup. Gang sheets are built for this: one sheet can carry a whole roster’s worth of left chests and a few full fronts.
• Main Street and Dempster boutiques. Town-name merch, small-batch graphics, the tote that sells better than the shirt. No minimum means you can test six designs at five pieces each instead of committing to seventy-two of one.
• Local businesses doing staff apparel. Coffee shops, studios, clinics. Usually a logo, usually a left chest and a back, usually needed before the new hire starts.
• Makers selling at the farmers market and the art fairs. A dozen designs, a handful of each, restocked between weekends.

One thing worth knowing before you order

We will print what you send, and we do not check whether you have the right to send it. University names, marks and logos are licensed property, and a group that is not an official licensee ordering them is the group that gets the email. Our artwork policy says this plainly because it is cheaper for everyone to know now than after sixty shirts are pressed.

Original designs, org names, inside jokes, town pride: all fine, and all of it prints the same day.

Delivery

Ground from Schaumburg to an Evanston address is one business day after it ships, and an order placed on a business day ships the same day. Free over $50, $4.90 below it. Residence-hall and campus addresses work, though a street address and a phone number get it there with less friction than a mail-room code.

There is no pickup and no counter. If a date is genuinely tight, email us before you order and we will tell you honestly whether ground makes it rather than letting you find out.
