Pricing

There are two main parts to calculating the price of a job: the cost of the shirt itself, and the cost of the printing.  Below are pricing tables which will give you an idea of the price, per shirt, of a job.  Each job is unique so please contact us for an exact quote.  Prices can be higher or lower depending on the cost of supplies and how easy you are to get along with.

 

#1 - The printing cost.

Below is a table that shows the cost of printing one shirt based on the quantity ordered and the number of colors and/or locations that will be printed.  For example, if you choose to print blue and yellow on the front plus print blue only on the back that will count as a three color job even though there are actually only two colors.  What it really means is that it requires three screens and must be printed three separate times.

High quality, durable, great fit, fashionable. Examples: American Apparel, Alternative, Bella $6 - $10
Good quality and durability, possibly fitted or heavy weight fabric. Hanes Beefy-T, Premium Gildan $4 - $6
Basic economical tee. Nothing to write home about but it gets the job done. Gildan, Hanes $3 - $4
