What to charge print company for t-shirt designs? I know the answer will vary widely, but I am wondering what to charge a fairly large shirt printing company for designs I do for them. The designs will be for emerging indie and rock bands and will consist of 1-3 colors. What would be a good general price range to charge? thanks.

Re: What to charge print company for t-shirt designs? You could always give them a ruff estimate...punch them in the gut and scream $200. dollars!!! You said they were fairly large, so they can take it.

Re: What to charge print company for t-shirt designs? They are pre-print designs for bands. A quality design takes me about three weeks, then I e-mail it to them.

Re: What to charge print company for t-shirt designs? For a company that is fairly large, $300-400 each is a perfectly fair market rate per design.
