Custom Apparel and Branded Merch for Chicagoland Leagues, Bands and Events

JRG Prints is a Chicago-based branded merchandise partner working with bar and rec leagues, local bands, event organizers, causes, and the businesses behind them across the metro. You send the logo and the headcount; we handle product selection, mockups, production, and delivery as one managed order.

Who We Work With Around Chicago

Chicagoland runs on groups of people who need to look like they belong together. A bar league that needs sixteen shirts before the first Tuesday of the season. A band with a show on Saturday and nothing to put on the merch table. A benefit night with four hundred attendees. A brewery, a church group, a school club, a twelve-person startup in the West Loop.

Those orders have almost nothing in common except the part that matters: somebody has a logo, a deadline, and no particular desire to become an expert in blank garments. That is the job we take off their desk.

Where We Deliver

We work with organizations throughout the city and the surrounding suburbs — the Loop and the North and West Sides, the North Shore, the western suburbs out through DuPage, and the south and southwest suburbs. Orders ship directly to you, or split across multiple addresses if your people are spread out.

Splitting a delivery costs nothing extra to arrange. If half your team is downtown and half is remote, say so on the quote and we will plan around it.

What a Local Partner Actually Gets You

• One person, not a ticket queue. You deal with the same contact from first question to delivered box, in your own time zone — and you will usually hear back the same day.
• Someone who knows the calendar. Spring league sign-ups, fall galas, Q4 client gifting, graduation. We plan backward from your date rather than finding out about it late.
• No screens, so no minimum. We do not screen print, which means there is no setup cost to spread across an order. A twelve-piece order for a small team is normal here — most local shops will not quote under twenty-four, and several will not quote under a hundred.
• Full color at no extra cost. We do not screen print, so there are no screen setup fees and no per-color charges. A detailed, multi-color logo costs the same to decorate as a simple one. We also run laser engraving, which most Chicago shirt shops cannot do at all.

A Chicago Client You Can Look At

Tutes are a Chicago metal band. They needed merch their fans could actually buy without the band carrying boxes to every show, so we built them a store on our own domain — tees, a hoodie, a crewneck, a hat, a koozie, and stickers, all live and orderable.

The biggest thing is not having to buy a bunch of merch before every show and hope it sells.

It is the same setup available to any Chicagoland team, school, or company that would rather have members order and pay for themselves. Take a look at the store, or read how online merch stores work.
