Print Pricing Overview

Imprintable garment pricing and print pricing are calculated separately. Click here to learn about garment pricing.
 Understanding print pricing can help you make decisions about your order. These three factors will make the biggest impact on your final  print cost:

#1: Quantity - Pricing is tiered by quantity because it costs less per shirt to print larger runs. For example 12 one color prints are $2.50 each while 100 of the same print would cost $1.10 each - less than half!
 
#2: Number of Print Colors and Locations - Pricing is also tiered by the number of print locations and ink colors and in your prints. A screen must be produced and aligned separately for each color, and each print location must printed separately. Reducing the number of print locations and print colors in your order is a fast way to bring down cost. Also notice that it costs more to print on dark garments and uncommon fabrics such as nylon.
 
#3: Special Effects - We offer an impressive selection of special effects that we can add to make your imprintables pop. An extra $0.50 spent on metallic ink for example might fetch an extra $3-$5 in retail value. These options include specialty inks like metallic, glow, fluorescent, discharge, puff, and fashion soft, among others. See below for specific pricing.
