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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
