Custom Corner

Custom Corner provides heat transfer and silk-screened items such as T-shirts, hats, trophies, plaques and mugs.

Plaques and awards are custom made for your quarterly presentations, retirements, special achievements, sports competitions, gag gifts and more. Choose from a generous selection of wood, laminate and marbleized plaques. Special orders can be arranged. In addition to customized engraving, we have a heat sublimation process that allows your artwork, squadron patches or photographs to be printed directly on mugs, T-shirt, tiles or metal. We also do screen-printing for sports and achievement trophies, flag boxes, and wing coins. Our new newest service is custom vinyl graphics for cars, signs, banners, windows. Choose from instock designs or let us help you create one.

** Please allow ample time for large orders.

 

Frame Shop

The Center offers custom framing, matting and an opportunity to "do-it-yourself" and save! The well-equipped shop features a complete line of mat board, glass (standard and non-glare), picture hanging hardware, tools and a wide assortment of picture frame moldings.

The frame shop has a professional staff to assist in custom framing with a full line of mats and custom frames for the self-framer. Specialty items and frames can be ordered.
