Custom Tees Reno is Battle Born Clothing's brand for t-shirt orders from Reno, Sparks and the rest of Washoe County. We make custom t-shirts three ways: screen printing in our own shop with plastisol, water-based and discharge inks on a conveyor dryer; DTF transfers produced by a Carson City partner and pressed in our shop; and embroidery on two commercial embroidery heads with Rapos thread. We have made laser-engraved leather patches since 2020 on an OMTech 80-watt CO2 laser, and we are an authorized decorator for Carhartt, Nike and OGIO. Every order gets a digital proof, a free reprint if the error is ours, and a 28-day standard turnaround from proof approval. Battle Born Clothing has one shop, at 3 Pebble Beach Dr in Yerington, Nevada, about an hour and a half from Reno by car. We serve Reno from there: blanks come from SanMar's Reno warehouse (most arrive at our shop the next business day), finished orders ship UPS or USPS ground (about 1-2 days within Nevada), and local pickup in Yerington is available by appointment. The numbers are on the page: a Port & Company PC61 tee with a 1-color front print is $10.63 each at 48 pieces on a dark shirt, $15.22 with a front and back print, plus $20 per screen.

Screen printed company tees
The standard order: a heavyweight cotton tee with the logo on the front, or the logo on the front and a bigger design on the back. On a $6.04 Port & Company PC61 that is $10.63 each at 48 with a 1-color front print on a dark shirt and $15.22 with a 1-color front and back, plus $20 per screen. Light shirts skip the flash and come in $0.25 cheaper per location. Larger runs and more ink colors are quoted per job; the per-shirt price goes down as the count goes up.
Event, fundraiser and sponsor-back shirts
5Ks, golf tournaments, company picnics, conference crews. One color front, sponsor logos in one color on the back. Each ink color is a $20 screen, so a 1-color sponsor back on a 48-piece run is the same $15.22 PC61 price as any front-and-back job. See events for a worked example.
Brewery, restaurant and retail merch
Water-based and discharge inks on 100% cotton give the soft, vintage hand that merch buyers want. We print both in-house. The Comfort Colors 1717 and PC61 are the usual blanks; see restaurants and breweries.
Small runs: DTF and embroidery for 1 to 47 shirts
DTF transfers for full-color and short runs
Under 48 pieces, or any design with photos, gradients or more than 3 colors, DTF is usually the right tool. Transfers are produced by a Carson City partner and pressed in our shop on our own equipment. DTF is quoted per job; send the artwork and count and you will have a number the same business day.
Embroidered tees and polos, no minimum
A left-chest embroidered logo on a tee is $12.04 each at 12 to 47 pieces on the PC61 and $10.04 at 80 or more, plus $18.99 digitizing once. There is no minimum; a single replacement shirt is a normal order. Rates are on the embroidery page.
Family reunions, bachelor parties, teams
One design, 10 to 30 shirts, several sizes including youth. DTF quoted per job, or screen print if the count gets to 48. See family and party tees.
Who we serve in Reno and Sparks
One shop, in Yerington. We do not have an office or storefront in Reno. What we do have is SanMar's Reno warehouse as our default blank source and ground shipping that reaches Reno and Sparks in about 1-2 days once an order ships. These are the kinds of buyers we build orders for.
Midtown and downtown
Breweries, coffee shops, restaurants, salons and gyms ordering staff tees and merch to sell. Soft-hand water-based prints, 48 to 144 pieces, reorders from kept screens.
South Reno and Damonte Ranch
Medical and dental offices, real estate teams, HVAC and landscaping companies. Embroidered polos for the front office and printed tees for the field, in one order so everything hits the same price break.
Tahoe-Reno Industrial Center and the warehouse employers
Shift tees, safety-color tees (bright, not ANSI-rated unless you order a certified garment), department shirts and employee-event shirts in the hundreds. Sizes to 6XL on the PC61.
University of Nevada, Reno clubs and Greek life
Club tees, philanthropy event shirts, intramural teams. Licensed university marks need the owner's permission; your own club logo and lettering do not.
Sparks and Spanish Springs
Youth sports, trades crews, church groups and the businesses along Pyramid Highway. Same pricing, same ground shipping.

Blanks for most Reno orders come from SanMar's Reno warehouse and are in our shop the next business day, which is why we can hold that date. Need it sooner?

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.
