Ordering Guidelines for Custom Marching Uniforms

Custom Marching Band Uniform Terms

• Designs featured at bandshoppe.com or in our print catalog are considered part of our current collection. These uniforms are made to order in your choice of sizes and colors using Milliken fabrics or digitally printed options allowing them to be produced quicker than fully custom designs requiring new patterns or major pattern modifications.
• Prices for modified designs and custom creations are provided alongside your sketch.
• Lead times vary depending on time of year and demand. We will notify you of our current manufacturing timeline at the time of quoting and ordering. Customers are strongly encouraged to order early.
• Fabric swatches can be requested via email or using our online contact form.
• All alterations are the responsibility of the customer.

CUSTOM DIGITAL PRINTING

A $250 non-refundable, non-transferable setup fee applies to all custom printed uniform orders. This fee covers artwork creation, graphic and technical design, as well as a sample strike-off piece for approval.

Our Sales Team will work closely with our in-house Design Team to create a detailed sketch tailored to your vision.
