Screen Printing Reno -- FAQ

The questions we get most from Reno customers, answered straight.

Where can I get custom screen printing near Reno, NV?

Battle Born Clothing handles custom screen printing for Reno, Sparks, Carson City, and Northern Nevada. Our shop is in Yerington -- 70 miles southeast. We ship USPS Priority (1--2 days to Reno) and turn most orders in 7--14 business days. Same-day quotes at sales@battlebornclothing.com or (775) 230-0211.

What is the minimum order for screen printing in Reno?

There's no hard minimum, but screen printing is most cost-effective at 12+ pieces due to the screen setup cost per color. For small batches under 12 pieces, DTF (Direct-to-Film) transfers are typically better -- no setup fee, full color, available from a single piece.

How much does custom screen printing cost in Reno, NV?

A standard 24-piece, 1-color run on a Next Level tee runs roughly $12--$15 per shirt all-in. Multi-color designs add ~$25 per extra screen. Pricing drops with volume -- at 100+ pieces, per-shirt cost drops significantly. Use our screen print cost calculator for a real-time estimate, or email us for a custom quote.

What is DTF printing and is it better than screen printing for small orders?

DTF (Direct-to-Film) is a process where a full-color design is printed onto a transfer film and heat-pressed onto fabric. No screens, no setup fee, no minimum. For orders under 12--24 pieces or designs with lots of colors and gradients, DTF is usually the better choice. For large volume single- or two-color runs, screen printing wins on cost. Read the full DTF guide here.

Can you print custom event shirts for Reno events like Hot August Nights or the Reno Rodeo?

Absolutely. Event shirts are deadline-critical -- we've shipped for Reno Rodeo, Hot August Nights, charity 5Ks, off-road race weekends, and brewery festivals. Plan ahead: popular dates fill up fast. Read our event shirt sizing guide before you order, then contact us at sales@battlebornclothing.com.

Do you do screen printing for restaurants, bars, and breweries in Reno?

Yes -- it's a big chunk of what we do. Staff tees, bartender shirts, host uniforms, and branded merch for Reno's hospitality scene. For brewery and craft beverage brands, we often recommend discharge or water-based inks for a soft, fashion-forward feel. No minimums on DTF for small merchandise runs; competitive volume rates on screen print for large staff uniform orders.

How long does custom screen printing take for a Reno order?

Standard screen printing turnaround is 7--14 business days from proof approval. DTF orders are typically 5--7 business days. Rush production is available -- contact us when you submit your quote to check current schedule. USPS Priority from Yerington to Reno is 1--2 days, so you'll have your order fast once it ships.

Can you do discharge or water-based screen printing for Reno orders?

Yes. We run plastisol, water-based, and discharge inks. Discharge removes the fabric dye for a soft vintage feel -- popular for brewery merch, fashion tees, and retail apparel where a soft hand is essential. Works best on 100% cotton garments. Water-based inks are great on light garments. Read about printing on dark vs. light fabrics or contact us to discuss what's right for your design.
