Carbondale is the Jackson County seat and home to Southern Illinois University. The Salukis anchor fall weekends, while SIU student organizations, campus events, Little League fields, high school programs, and Jackson County public works crews keep the calendar full year-round. That creates strong demand for athletics apparel, spirit wear, team uniforms, and event merch across the region.

FAQ
Six things Jackson County teams, schools, and businesses ask before they order.
We don’t enforce hard minimums for screen printing — a small batch for a Carbondale Saluki booster club, a Marion Little League fundraiser, or a Herrin Main Street business is welcome. Embroidery typically starts at 12 pieces for setup reasons. Discounted per-piece pricing kicks in at 10+ pieces, with the best tiers at 50+. Send your request once you have quantities, or reach out for a no-pressure conversation about what your order could look like.
Standard screen printing runs 10–14 business days after artwork approval, and embroidery runs 12–18 business days. Because production is local to Carbondale, Jackson County orders don’t have ground-shipping transit time on top — local pickup is the same day the run finishes. For Saluki game-day deadlines and SIU fall-semester org rush, we can hold a 7–10 day window when the calendar allows. Mention your deadline when you submit your request.
Yes to local pickup — finished orders are ready in Carbondale, and customers from Murphysboro, Marion, Herrin, and Carterville pick up here directly. For Carterville, Anna, Cobden, Makanda, and the east counties, USPS and UPS shipping are available and quoted on request. Either way, you’ll see a production and pickup-or-ship date on your quote.
We send an invoice once the order and proof are approved. SIU departments and registered student organizations can request Net-30 terms with a campus PO or department approval — invoice goes directly to the department administrator or RSO treasurer. Most non-campus orders require a deposit before production starts, with the balance due before pickup or shipping; Carbondale-area customers typically pay the balance at pickup.
That’s a common starting point for first-time SIU RSOs, Carbondale startups, and small businesses across Jackson County. We can redraw or clean up a low-res image, lay out a logo from a sketch or reference, and mock it on a representative garment before any production begins. Because Deuce Canoe is a smaller single-county shop, revisions happen fast and you work directly with the people running the press.
Yes. We keep your art files on file per customer, so reorders of the same design — fall sports the next year, SIU semester rush for the next term, or the next Jackson County fundraiser — don’t require a new setup fee. Send through the request with updated quantities or deadlines and we’ll quote the run.
