We will continue to offer outstanding service, top quality printing, and prices too low not to take advantage of.

VOLUME PRICING:  One way to save money in the long run is to keep in mind our volume pricing. Simply, the more you make of a certain design, the cheaper they are! Sometimes it makes sense to get a few more of a run initially, get a lower price per Tee, and save in the long run. Please feel free to see our pricing page for quantity price breaks, or call and ask about specials and package deals.

Pricing Structure: Screen Printing is priced on a number of factors. 

Volume Based Pricing: Because setting up a print job takes the same amount of time for a small or large job, prices are volume based as applied to printing.  As quantity increases, the cost of printing each garment decreases.  Please note that the blank garment/substrate cost is not affected by volume. 

Garment Type: From Posters to Tee Shirts & Jackets, prices fluctuate greatly.  However in choosing your garments please keep in mind that WHITE garments are the cheapest.  LIGHT COLORED garments are slightly more expensive, and DARK GARMENTS cost the most.  The price of the garment is a fixed cost, and is not volume based such as printing cost.

Colors: Each color in a print requires a separate screen (see Setup/Screen Charges) to be printed, adding to the print process and likewise the cost.  A one color print will be the lowest priced print possible.  There are no charges for custom ink colors, with the exception of specialty ink (glow in the dark, etc.).

Setup/Screen Charges: Setup charges apply to transferring photo ready artwork, film, or a digital image into a film positive; exposing & developing the screen, setting the screen(s) up on the press, and registration of the print.  

The Total Price: Each print job is priced using the following basic equation:

Quantity * Unit Price (Blank apparel/flatstock +  printing cost per piece) + Artwork/Design + Setup Charges + Shipping = Total
