Pricing is dependent on the quantity and number of colors being printed or embroidered, number of locations, type of garment and type of decoration. It's always best to talk with our customer service representatives and artists to figure out the best way to apply your logo to the best garment for your purpose. Be sure to include all of the information you can when requesting a quote.
Determining Factors of Pricing:
For Embroidery:
Stitch Count. The biggest determining factor in embroidery is the "stitch count". We charge on a 'per 1000' basis. For every 1000 stitches you pay x-dollars.
Digitizing. Converting a computer-generated artwork, camera-ready files or clip art into computerized instructions which tell an embroidery machine how to sew a design
For Screenprinting:
Print Location. A small left-chest design, cost just as much as a full-chest design.
Number of Printed Colors. 2 colors are more expensive than 1, and 3 colors are more expensive then 2 obviously.
Printing on Dark Garments. Printing on dark garments can be problematic. The dye in the shirt migrates into the ink causing a dull dark print. Printing white ink on red shirts can be very displeasing if the red from the shirts turns the ink pink. When you want bright colors on Black or dark garments, a process called underbasing and flashing needs to be done. To get royal blue to look like royal blue on a black shirt, you first need to lay down a layer of white, flash cure it (gelling the white ink) and laying the Royal Blue on top of the white. This, of course, is more expensive.
For the Apparel:
Quantity. We are a production shop, we base our costs on production time. If you need a few shirts or 1000 shirts, it takes the same time to set the job up. Therefore larger quantities will always have a lower "per shirt" price than smaller quantities.
Garment. Basic t-shirts of course are least expensive, prices increase when you add pockets, long sleeves or choose a heavier weight of cotton (Beefy-T). Ringer T's, 3/4 sleeve, and fleece are always more expensive.
Garment Color. White is the least expensive in any garment. Athletic Heather (Oxford), and Ash are a little more expensive, with all other colors being the most expensive.
