BrianMaruska 12 Posted September 30, 2012 Have an order for 50 t-shirts. All sizes S-XL. Dark grey. 14"x8" graphic on the back. 12"4" graphic on the front. I am looking to have these heat pressed as that is what I do. I do not offer screen printing but would consider "outsourcing" it if there is still good money in being the middle man. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sue2 920 Posted September 30, 2012 It's hard for anyone to give you an answer here... you don't mention if your designs are one color or several, or what brand/quality shirt you will want. When deciding on whether to oursource or DIY, you have to consider your costs, the time-frame you are dealing with and what other jobs you have inhouse. Cutting, weeding and pressing two sides per shirt is time consuming. Add up the cost of the shirts, the vinyls, electricity, design time & your labor to get your base cost per shirt. You can search online retailers to find the bottom line price for oursourcing the shirts and then decide if you can make money by just marking them up. But check the quality of the finished product as YOU will get the credit /blame for GOOD or BAD work. AND, you are depending on a timely delivery of goods...what will happen if the order gets lost, is the wrong color imprint or shirt, sizes are wrong.....etc? As far as pricing...a lot depends on what you consider "good money".... t-shirts are not a big money maker unless your customer is in a pinch and NEEDS THEM NOW! Remember, your customer can use the many cheap online sites to design & order their shirts but the turn-around & shipping time is usually longer then they want....so they come to you! Good Luck!
