Crew shirt and uniform questions
Is there a minimum order?
No hard minimum. Embroidery has no minimum. Screen print has no hard minimum either, but 48 pieces and up is where the screens stop dominating the price.
How much do crew shirts with a logo cost?
A Port & Company PC61 with a 1-color front and 1-color back print is $15.22 each at 48 pieces plus $40 in screens. An embroidered K500 polo is $19.55 at 24 and $17.55 at 144. Full schedule on the pricing page.
How long does an order take?
28 days from proof approval is standard. Quotes usually go out the same business day. Rush is quoted per job.
Do you ship nationwide?
Yes. Battle Born Clothing ships from Yerington, NV to every US state. We will split a shipment between an office and a jobsite.
What do I send for a quote?
Artwork (vector preferred: AI, EPS, PDF, SVG; 300 dpi PNG is fine), quantity, style and colors, and a size breakdown. Names if you want them.
Do I get a proof?
Always. A digital proof with the logo placed and sized, the roster if there is one, and the ink or thread colors. Nothing is produced until you approve it.
What if the shirts come out wrong?
If the error is ours, we redo it free. If the proof you approved had the error, that is on the approval, so check the proof.
Can you decorate hi-vis safety shirts?
Yes. ANSI Class 2 and Class 3 garments are quoted per job and we place the logo clear of the reflective tape so the rating holds.
Do you sell Carhartt?
Yes. Battle Born Clothing is an authorized Carhartt decorator. Carhartt, Nike and OGIO are quoted per job with brand MAP respected.
Can you add names to shirts?
Yes. Embroidered names on polos and work shirts, printed or pressed names on tees. Quoted per job; send a roster.
Can I supply my own shirts?
Yes, at $2 per item handling. Industry-standard spoilage allowance is about 4%; we aim for zero and do not replace customer-supplied goods we did not source.
What are the one-time fees?
Screens are $20 per screen per color. Embroidery digitizing is $18.99 per design, once; we keep the file for reorders.
Why is there a flash charge?
On dark shirts we print a white underbase and flash-cure it so the top color is bright. $0.25 per flash per location. Light shirts usually skip it.
Can I mix styles and colors in one order?
Yes. Tees, long sleeves and polos with one logo is the normal trade order. Each style is priced at its own blank price; decoration is at the published rate.
Which shirt do you recommend for a crew?
The Port & Company PC61 for tees and the Port Authority K500 for polos. We consider the PC61 quite a bit better than Gildan at the same money.
Do you do Gildan?
On request. We stock Port & Company first. See the Gildan product page for how the numbers map.
Do you run company online stores?
No. We run batch orders from a roster instead and keep your files for reorders. See the reorders guide.
What is the 2XL upcharge?
Suppliers charge $1 to $7 more per piece for 2XL and up depending on style. It shows as a separate line on the quote. Decoration is the same price at every size.
