Deployments

Build the Project Around the Deployment

Change of Command

Morale T-Shirts Custom artwork built around unit humor, identity or shared experiences.
DTF Shirts Great for detailed artwork, smaller runs or multiple designs.

Retirement & Recognition

Make the Project About the Person Being Recognized

Retirement and recognition orders can reflect the person's career, command, unit history, rank, dates of service and the people they served with. These projects work best when the details are specific to the individual.

Recruiting & Outreach

Products That Help the Unit Show Up Consistently

Team Patches Build a patch around the identity of the smaller group.

Unit Apparel Through Printing or Embroidery

The quantity and consistency of a unit shirt design help determine when screen printing makes sense. Shorter orders, detailed full-color images and varied garment designs can point toward DTF as the production method. Hats, polos, jackets and related garments can also use embroidery for a stitched finish. Anchor Apparel Company selects among the three methods around the artwork and intended products. For unit orders involving Fredericksburg and Washington, DC, the garment selection, artwork and quantity guide that choice.
