Winery, brewery and taproom merch for Nevada City and Grass Valley
Sierra foothill tasting rooms sell shirts because people like the place. The shirt has to feel like something worth $25 and the logo has to look like the label. Battle Born Clothing prints water-based and discharge merch tees and embroiders matching hats in Yerington, Nevada and ships to Nevada County by ground.
Who orders
Owners and tasting-room managers at wineries in the Nevada City and Grass Valley foothills, breweries and cideries downtown and in the industrial areas off Highway 49, and taprooms in Penn Valley and Truckee. Typical first orders are 48 to 96 merch tees in two colors plus a dozen staff shirts and two dozen hats.
What they order
- Comfort Colors 1717 merch tees, 1-color water-based or discharge logo front
- PC450 as the lower-cost merch tee
- PC61 or PC55 staff tees in the house color
- Richardson 112 trucker caps, embroidered or leather patch
- PC90 crewnecks for winter
A realistic job
A Nevada City brewery: 48 merch tees, 12 staff tees and 24 patch hats
| Line | Qty | Each | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| PC61 tee, natural, 1-color discharge logo front (merch) | 48 | $10.38 | $498.24 |
| Screen, 1 color | 1 | $20.00 | $20.00 |
| PC61 tee, black, staff shirts, same screen, front only | 12 | Quoted per job | Quoted |
| Richardson 112, laser-engraved leather patch (24-47 tier) | 24 | $21.00 | $504.00 |
| Order total | $1,042.24 + staff tees |
The 12 staff tees ride on the same screen, so there is no second setup; the per-piece rate for that short run is quoted per job. If the staff shirts are the same color as the merch, run them in the same 60-piece batch and the whole lot is priced together. Reorders of the hats skip nothing but get the next quantity break.
Label art and ink
Wine and beer labels are usually multi-color. A one-color version of the mark prints best and costs least; we will make one if you do not have it. Full-color label art on a small run goes to DTF. Read how many ink colors.
What to send
- Logo in vector, plus the label art if you want it
- Quantities by shirt and size
- Shirt colors (we will suggest garment-dyed shades that match the label)
- Hat color combinations from the Richardson 112 range
Questions
Can we order a small test run first?
Yes. Under 48 we usually suggest DTF for the test and screens for the real run. No minimum either way.
Do you do hats and shirts in one order?
Yes. One quote form, one proof set, one shipment.
