Screen Printing Custom Tacoma Club Shirts:
How We Do It at Battle Born

Behind-the-scenes look at how we produce custom Toyota Tacoma club tees, embroidered hats, and event merch — from quote to delivery. M&R 8-color press, discharge inks, and the real process that gets your club looking unified on the trail.

Published March 2026 · 7 min read

If you run a Tacoma club, organize trail runs, or just want matching gear for your crew — you've probably looked into custom shirts. And you've probably hit the same walls: online print shops with no clue what a TRD Off-Road is, Bay Area pricing that makes your eyes water, or minimum orders that assume your club has 200 members.

We built Battle Born Clothing specifically for communities like yours. We already produce apparel for Chassis Unlimited (off-road bumper manufacturer), Bomber Fabrication (King of the Hammers), the Death Ride Tour of the California Alps, and Sweetwater Heli.

Here's exactly how the process works when your Tacoma club is ready to gear up.

Step 1

The Quote — Same Day, No Guessing

Email us at sales@battlebornclothing.com or fill out a quote request with these basics:

What we need from you:

How many pieces? What garment type (tees, hats, hoodies)? How many ink colors? Do you have art files or need design help? What's your deadline?

What you get back (same day):

Per-piece pricing by quantity tier. Blank garment options with specs. Estimated production timeline. Print method recommendation (screen, DTF, or embroidery).

No sales pitch. No hidden setup fees. Just a clear, line-item quote you can share with your club treasurer.

Step 2

Art Setup & Digital Proofs — Free, No Limits

Send us whatever you have — a polished vector file, a napkin sketch, or just an idea ("we want a 3rd gen Tacoma with our club name on it"). Our in-house graphic design team turns it into a production-ready file.

For screen printing, we separate your design into individual color layers and build the screen files. For embroidery, we hand-digitize your logo into stitch patterns — this is where cheap shops cut corners with auto-digitizing software, and you end up with blurry, lumpy logos. We digitize by hand.

You get a digital mockup showing exactly how your design looks on the garment before we touch a press. Revisions are free. No one prints until you approve.

Step 3

Production — Industrial Equipment, Small Shop Care

This is where Battle Born separates from online print brokers. Everything is produced in-house at our shop in Yerington, Nevada — not farmed out to a contract printer in another state.

Step 4

Quality Check, Pack & Ship

Every piece is hand-inspected before packing. We check stitch quality, print registration, color consistency, and garment condition. If a shirt doesn't meet our standard, it doesn't go in the box. Period.

For local Northern Nevada clubs, we offer direct delivery. For everyone else, we ship via standard carriers — most orders arrive 2–3 business days after production. We can also ship to multiple addresses if your members are spread across different cities.

Reorder program: Once your art is on file, reorders are faster and cheaper than first-time runs. New members joining mid-year? No problem — we keep your screens and stitch files for easy re-runs at any quantity.
