You want to order screen printed shirts for an upcoming event but you don't understand
how they are priced. What is the pricing based on? Screen printing pricing is based on a
number of factors:
- Shirt style
- Shirt color
- Number of shirts
- Number of prints per shirt
- Sizes ordered
- Screen/ film charges
- Artwork charges
First, get a general idea of how many shirts you need. You'll have to order at least a
minimum quantity, this quantity will be 36 or more items with the same printing.
Next decide what style T-shirt you need. If you want basic T's you must decide
if you want cotton or a cotton/ polyester blend. Cotton T's will be cooler. If you
decide to use a cotton T, you might want to choose a Hanes Beefy T. Although
these T's are more expensive, the Beefy T's are made form ringspun cotton, a
cotton that is softer to the touch and will last longer because it is made from
longer fibers.
Next determine how many colors are in each print. You'll be charged for each
color in printing and screen/film charges. So, if you're trying to keep your
cost down, its better to eliminate unnecessary colors. If you're uncertain about
what to eliminate ask us.
Another factor in your pricing is whether you are using light or dark colored
shirts. If you're printing a light color on dark shirts expect to pay more to have
a white underbase printed underneath your design.Without this underbase, your
colors will look faded against the dark shirt.
Another factor that effects pricing is whether you need extended sizes. Sizes 2X
and larger will be more expensive.
After you've determined your general needs, check our quantity price
breakdowns to determine what is your best buy. For example, if you need 69
shirts and the price breakdown is a 72 shirts, it may be more economical to
order 72 shirts because your cost will be cheaper per shirt.
Don't forget artwork fees. Don't assume that you printer can print from any
computer file. Unless vyou have a realistic design that can be taken directly from
a photograph or a high resolution bitmap most likely your artwork will need to
be converted into vector format (line art). Charges for vectorization can vary
greatly depending on how detailed your design is.
Set-up charges, otherwise know as screen/film charges, must also be
considered. We have a given charge per screen with the total amount determined
by the number of colors or screens vneeded to print a design.
Its important to remember to total all your charges when ordering screen printed
T-shirts. Some printers will charge for every item while others will roll the costs
into a per shirt charge.
