Same price on any garment color. White ink on a dark shirt needs an underbase — an extra screen and an extra pass — and that one is on us.
Up to eleven colors. Past four, call and we’ll price it — and we’ll tell you if DTF comes out cheaper, which under 100 pieces it often does.
Fewer than 24? Ask — we’ll quote it, it just won’t be cheap per piece.
Add a print location
A front and a back, or a left chest and a full back. Added to the price above. A second location is a second set of screens and a second trip through the press, so it costs what the first print cost — we are not going to pretend otherwise.
| Quantity | 1 ink color | 2 ink colors | 3 ink colors | 4 ink colors |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 24 – 35 | +4.92 | +7.76 | +9.92 | +11.94 |
| 36 – 49 | +3.50 | +5.36 | +7.10 | +8.68 |
| 50 – 74 | +2.85 | +4.29 | +5.73 | +7.19 |
| 75 – 199 | +2.50 | +3.65 | +4.50 | +5.67 |
| 200 – 299 | +1.70 | +2.08 | +2.62 | +3.09 |
| 300 + | +1.44 | +1.78 | +2.08 | +2.40 |

Colors are counted per location. A two-color front and a one-color back is the two-color price plus the one-color location.
A sleeve hit and a pocket-height left chest each count as a location.

Sizes
Prices above cover S through XL. 2XL and up carry a small upcharge from the mill — we’ll show it on your quote rather than surprise you with it.
Other garments
Long sleeves, hoodies, crewnecks, polos, caps and bags all price off the same ladder with a different blank. Tell us the garment and we’ll give you the number.
Artwork
Send whatever you have. Vector files print best, but a photo of an old shirt is enough to start — we redraw it and show you the mockup before anything goes to press.
Turnaround
Most orders arrive 6 to 8 business days from the day you order, and we’ll tell you the date before you commit. On a deadline? Say so and we’ll tell you honestly whether it fits.
Why these prices are lower
Most custom apparel sites have never touched a press. They take your order, send it to a print shop, and add their markup — you’re paying a company that pays another company to make your shirts. We are the shop: thirty years, over 10 million prints on our own presses and embroidery heads. One less company taking a cut.
