Help me out here with some prices

Recommended Posts

What kind of shirt?.....

For 144 1 dark colour imprint on a coloured Zorrel tee I would be at 4.38 (or higher) plus art and shipping from my printer to client if any...But most of the time I use transfers even though they will cost a little extra....With screen printing I can not gang images like filling a sheet of transfer paper....If the order is for white, red or black I always have stuff to fill the sheet.....

ok not thread jacking but at that price you are only making 1.00 +/- profit or am i wrong? if you dont want to post i understand but please pm me and tell me how you are making money. we have been asked to get into screen printing and i just don't understand the pricing model.

ya I would never be that low. At 100 pcs im still up at 6.50 a peice with 1 hit dark on light garment. To get down below that 5.00 mark your talkin over 500 pcs here and then thats on a white tee only. Although each market area is different that does not seem at all profitable in this area.

I am not the cheapest by far but I do take pride in my work and I do this to make money and pay my overhead.

If its just a one color one side which is what I quoted our profit would be around $2.10 - $2.75ea. But we dont our source it we print in house. Would take about 2.35hrs from start to finish (setup,screens,cleanup..etc

sorry man I didn't see you post,

yes, under $2 profit. Not a ton of markup there. Make a lot on shorter runs though where the price doesn't have to be dropped.

you could have just called to ask instead of threadjacking lol just kidding

100 pcs is a short run??!!?? thats like a hour on the press if that even. Takes longer to set up the screens, reg, clean up and blow out than to run the shirts. no way would i do a 100 pcs for that amount. So then what, if you get a 500 or 1000 order what are they? 3 bucks each? I could sub to you, sell my press and make a killing working at the local gas mart!!!!!
