What does a run of printed shirts cost?

Select the decoration method — screen print, DTG, embroidery or heat-transfer vinyl — then the garment, the run size, ink colours and print locations. Screen printing charges setup per screen at $28–42, so unit prices fall fast with volume: 48 two-colour tees price at $8–15.95 a piece, $406–766 all-in. DTG skips setup entirely, which is why it wins tiny runs and loses big ones.

Common questions

Why is screen printing cheap in bulk but not for six shirts?

Each ink colour needs a screen burned at $28–42, charged once per run. Across six shirts that setup dominates the price; across hundreds it disappears into the $1.80–3.20 per-piece decoration rate. DTG at $6–11 with no setup wins small runs; screen print takes over as quantity climbs.

What do the garments themselves cost?

Blanks price into the quote: t-shirts at $5.50–11, long sleeves $9–16, polos $14–26, hoodies $19–34, caps $8–16 and tote bags $4–9. Supplying your own garments zeroes that line — decoration and setup still apply.

How does embroidery pricing differ?

Embroidery charges a one-time digitising setup of $65–120, then $5.50–9.50 per piece regardless of thread colours — where screen printing charges per colour. It prices best on caps, polos and small logo placements that would need several screens to print.

What about names or individual bagging?

Per-piece extras: size-and-name personalisation at $3.50–7, woven neck labels $1.20–2.40 and poly-bagging $0.60–1.20. A rush under five days flags the whole order for priority scheduling.
