Custom t-shirt pricing for Reno orders
All-in means the blank plus the decoration. Our hero blank is the Port & Company PC61 at a $6.04 blank. Screen print rates are published at 48 pieces, 1 ink color per location; other quantities and color counts are quoted per job. Embroidery is published on the full quantity schedule. DTF transfers are quoted per job. One-time fees are listed separately so you can see what a reorder costs.
| Quantity | Blank | Embroidery | All-in each |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1-11 | $6.04 | $12.00 | $18.04 |
| 12-23 | $6.04 | $6.00 | $12.04 |
| 24-47 | $6.04 | $6.00 | $12.04 |
| 48-59 | $6.04 | $5.50 | $11.54 |
| 60-79 | $6.04 | $4.50 | $10.54 |
| 80+ | $6.04 | $4.00 | $10.04 |
Screen print rates
| Job | Print per piece | PC61 all-in | Screens (one-time) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 color, 1 location, light shirt | $4.34 | $10.38 | $20 |
| 1 color, 1 location, dark shirt (flash) | $4.59 | $10.63 | $20 |
| 1 color front + 1 color back, light shirt | $8.68 | $14.72 | $40 |
| 1 color front + 1 color back, dark shirt | $9.18 | $15.22 | $40 |
The $0.25 difference between light and dark shirts is the flash: on a dark shirt we print a white underbase and flash-cure it so the top color stays bright. Each additional ink color is another $20 screen and a per-piece rate quoted for the job. Quantities other than 48 are quoted per job; larger runs cost less per shirt because the screens are a fixed cost.
Embroidery rates (any tee or polo)
| Quantity | Embroidery per piece | Each extra 1,000 stitches |
|---|---|---|
| 1-11 | $12.00 | $2.00 |
| 12-23 | $6.00 | $1.50 |
| 24-47 | $6.00 | $1.00 |
| 48-59 | $5.50 | $1.00 |
| 60-79 | $4.50 | $0.60 |
| 80+ | $4.00 | $0.50 |
Every embroidery price on this site covers one design up to 6,000 stitches. Above that, each additional 1,000 stitches adds $2.00 (1-11 pieces), $1.50 (12-23), $1.00 (24-59), $0.60 (60-79) or $0.50 (80+) per piece, rounded up to the next 1,000. We digitize first and tell you the exact count with the proof.
DTF transfers
DTF transfers are produced by a Carson City partner and pressed in our shop. Price depends on the size of the print and the count, so DTF is quoted per job. It is the usual answer for full-color art, photos, and runs under 48 pieces. Send the artwork and the count; quotes usually go out the same business day.
What is included
- The blank at our published price: supplier cost x 2 when the cost is under $10, otherwise cost + 35%.
- The decoration: a 1-color screen print per location, a left-chest embroidered logo up to 6,000 stitches, or a DTF transfer at the quoted rate.
- Digital proof before production.
- Free reprint if the error is ours.
- 28-day standard turnaround from proof approval.
One-time fees
- Screens: $20 per screen per color. Rebuilt at $20 each on reorders.
- Embroidery digitizing: $18.99 per design, once. We keep the file.
- Flash: $0.25 per flash per location on dark garments.
- DTF: no screen fee; the transfer price is per piece.
Add-ons
- Sleeve or hem prints: $20 screen plus a per-piece rate quoted per job.
- More than one ink color per location: $20 per screen per color plus a per-piece rate quoted per job.

Customer-supplied shirts
$2 per item handling on top of the decoration rate. The industry-standard spoilage allowance is about 4%; we aim for zero, but we cannot replace a garment we did not source.
Rush orders
Rush is quoted per job. We look at the calendar and the blank stock at SanMar Reno before we say yes, and we would rather tell you no than miss an event.
