Custom t-shirt questions from Reno buyers
Where are you located? Do you have a shop in Reno?
No. Battle Born Clothing has one shop, at 3 Pebble Beach Dr in Yerington, NV, about an hour and a half from Reno by car. We serve Reno from there: blanks come from SanMar's Reno warehouse, finished orders ship UPS or USPS ground, and pickup in Yerington is by appointment.
How much do custom t-shirts cost?
A Port & Company PC61 with a 1-color front print is $10.63 each at 48 pieces on a dark shirt plus a $20 screen; $15.22 with a 1-color back added plus $40 in screens. Embroidered left chest is $12.04 at 24 and $10.04 at 80+. DTF is quoted per job. See the pricing page.
Is there a minimum order?
No hard minimum. Screen print makes sense at 48 and up because screens are a fixed cost. DTF and embroidery have no minimum; one shirt is a normal order.
How long does an order take?
Standard turnaround is 28 days from proof approval. Quotes usually go out the same business day. Most orders finish sooner, but 28 days is the promise.
Can you rush it?
Rush is quoted per job after we check blank stock at SanMar Reno and the press calendar. We do not offer same-day service. We would rather say no than miss your date.
Screen print, DTF or embroidery: which should I pick?
48 or more shirts with 1-3 flat colors: screen print. Under 48, or full-color art: DTF. A logo that should look like a uniform: embroidery. If you are close to the line, ask for both prices.
Do you print DTF in-house?
No. DTF transfers are produced by a partner in Carson City, Nevada and pressed in our shop on our own equipment.
Does the price include the shirt?
Yes. Every all-in price on this site is the blank plus the decoration. One-time fees (screens, digitizing) are listed separately.
What is the flash charge?
$0.25 per flash per location on dark shirts. We print a white underbase and flash-cure it so the top color stays bright. Light shirts usually skip it.
What is a screen fee?
$20 per screen per color, one time per order. A 1-color front and 1-color back is $40. Screens are rebuilt at $20 each on reorders.
What do I need to send for a quote?
Artwork (vector preferred; 300 dpi PNG is fine), quantity, shirt style and color, a size breakdown, ink colors, and your need-by date. Quotes usually go out the same business day.
Can I see a proof first?
Always. Nothing prints until you approve a digital proof.
What if there is a mistake?
If the error is ours, we reprint free. If the proof was approved with the error on it, we will help but cannot reprint free.
Can I bring my own shirts?
Yes. Customer-supplied goods are $2 per item handling plus the decoration rate. The industry-standard spoilage allowance is about 4%; we aim for zero but cannot replace a shirt we did not source.
Do you ship to Reno and Sparks?
Yes, UPS or USPS ground, about 1-2 days within Nevada once the order ships. We also ship nationwide. We do not have a delivery van or a Reno drop point.
Can I pick up?
Yes, at our Yerington shop by appointment.
Which blank is the best value?
The Port & Company PC61 at $6.04 blank. We consider it quite a bit better than Gildan at the same money. We also print Comfort Colors, Bella+Canvas, Sport-Tek and the rest of the Port & Company line.
Do you have youth and women's sizes?
Yes. PC54Y youth and LPC54 women's match the PC54 line, and most styles have a matching cut. Youth apparel has CPSIA labeling rules; we will point you to the guide.
Can you do mixed sizes and shirt colors in one order?
Yes. Sizes do not change the print price (2XL and up carry a supplier upcharge on the blank). Mixing light and dark shirts adds the flash on the darks only.
Can you print UNR or a sports team's logo?
Only with the owner's permission. Your own club name and lettering are fine. Licensed marks need a license.
Do you keep my artwork for reorders?
Yes. Artwork, separations, thread numbers and digitized embroidery files stay on file. Reorders skip digitizing; screens are rebuilt at $20 each.
Do you do hats to match?
Yes. Embroidered caps and laser-engraved leather patch hats are made in the same shop; Battle Born Clothing has made leather patches since 2020 and aims to be the top leather patch hat maker in the USA.
Do you offer online company stores?
No. We run batch orders from a roster and keep your files so reorders are a one-line message.
Do you do Carhartt, Nike or OGIO?
Yes. Battle Born Clothing is an authorized decorator for all three. They are quoted per job with brand pricing respected.
