I got a quote from my screen printer to have the tagless label screen printed on the neck. They want to charge me $.30 per shirt. Does anyone know if that's within a reasonable price range for this?
I agree that's a good price. Are the original tags will be cut out or they will take out the stitch to pull out the original label and sew it back on? If it's the second one, then I would say that's cheap.

That is a good question and I have not thought about that and I don't know what they would do for $.30 to be honest with you. I would definitely ask them if the price includes removing the tag and how they would do it. Also I will ask for a quote from my shirt distributor to see if it's cheaper for them to remove the tag or if it's cheaper to have my screen printer remove the original tag and screen print it. I have a feeling getting those 2 things done from the screen printer is probably more cost effective than having the distributor remove it and the screen printer print it.
Ok, I spoke to my screen printer and this is the price I just agreed on. You guys let me know if this is decent pricing. I think it is but not sure.
For $.60 a shirt, they will completely remove the tag and stitch the seams back AND screen print my own label on the neck area and for $.20 a shirt they will fold, bag and seal the shirt in a plastic bag. So altogether $.80 for screen printing tag, removing tag and fold and bag.

What do you guys think?
Take it while you can. For a price like that I do not see where thay can be making any money. Also find a backup because at that price they won't be able to afford to stay in business or do not know what they are getting into.
On another note, they shouldnt have to rip the seams. If I do it, I am careful to remove the tag without ruining the stiches, as it is far less work to take your time, and not have to re sew.
Plus some blanks {1701 and even the 1301} have tear away tags now

Cheers!
Well it is cheap but I'm not going to complain. I don't know if the tear away tags work for me though, don't you still see part of the tag after you tear it? It doesn't look professional to me, the idea of some left over tag still sticking out.
Yeah I didn't know for sure because I haven't really quoted other places but that sounds like a really nice price to me...for all that.
That should be your next step. Get quotes from 2-3 other printers to get an idea of costs/service/value. That way you can see for yourself how each printer compares

That is always good practice, the idea of shopping around. However I already have a regular screen printer for my business so naturally I want to stay with them for finishing and labeling and luckily for me everyone seems to agree that their pricing for that is really good too!
.80 for all that is dirt cheap, time alone to flip the shirt inside out print and then reflip the shirt takes some time. 1000 shirts just took me almost 3 days to relabel and flip. i usually charge 1.00-1.50 to remove and relabel a shirt depending on type of shirt and label
