splash0321 23 Posted July 9, 2009 Have an order for 75-100 shirts. One color with full logo on back and a small logo on front left chest. He is supplying the shirts. What would your cost be? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest fivestar Posted July 9, 2009 I would get them done in plastisol and charge 'em around $6.50 per shirt. You should be able to get 'em for around $1.50 to $2.00 I'd think for single color. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
splash0321 23 Posted July 9, 2009 so you would charge them 6.50 even with them supplying the shirt? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest fivestar Posted July 9, 2009 Yup. I would if they brought them to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nonabelle 5 Posted July 9, 2009 i totally agree with five. remember, u still have to handle their merchandise, unfold, prepress, etc. ur just not purchasing them. i also informed them if i screw up a few, ur gonna be short a few if u don't have xtras, whereas, if i purchased them u wouldn't have any problems with ur qty. it really pisses me off when a customer wants to bring their own shirts. but i would only take a 1.00 or 2.00 off the price.

splash0321 23 Posted July 9, 2009 I see the reasoning behind the price now. Thanks for the input Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hookster 0 Posted July 9, 2009 Try Out Transfer Express They Are Good & Fast Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest fivestar Posted July 9, 2009 I personally have only used Ace Transfer Company, which are very fast for me but they are only a couple hrs away from me. Their quality is excellent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ff-extreme 6 Posted July 10, 2009 I use both Ace and Transfer Express, Transfer Express is by far faster I have waited almost 2 weeks for a single color design from Ace. Ace is cheaper most of the time. Both are excellent quality. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bayshorecreations 30 Posted July 10, 2009 75-100 of them huh? I would take the job and send them out to be screen printed and up-charge from there. You can get a screen printer to do them for about $250 and still charge them $5 a shirt. You are just a middle man, do practically nothing and make $250 profit!

john! 1 Posted July 10, 2009 If you are using heat transfer vinyl you are nuts lol Sub them out, no way would i do that many in heat transfer. Welcome to working smarter not harder Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
knucklehead 530 Posted July 10, 2009 And then you would have to find a screen printer that will use customer supplied shirts, a lot of them don't. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
23putts 0 Posted July 10, 2009 I would charge 3-4 per shirt if there is a flash on both sides, 2.50 for a dark ink on a light tee. These are screen printing prices. Slipping in a couple $15.00 screen fees wouldn't hurt either. Beware of people that supply their own shirts. Did they inspect each one for spots or holes? Very doubtful. That could come back on you. Good luck... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spyder Graphix 0 Posted July 10, 2009 We could screen print them for you and then you dont have to do anything.. Cost would be $3ea and no set up fees... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
colorfast 0 Posted July 14, 2009 This type of job is perfect for heat press plastisol. I use Versatrans and have tried samples from FM Expressions. Their SPOT formula is nice for 1 and 2 color. FM also has several sheet sixes to choose from. You could do the pocket design on one small sheet so you would not have to cut a ganged sheet apart. Versatrans has 1 sheet size that is 11 x 17. There transfers are great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
john! 1 Posted July 14, 2009 I have a excellent screen printer who uses only customer supplied shirts, PM me if you need his info. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
