What would ballpark price on this shirt be, for a single and for like 5?
The transfers are all cut Videoflex vinyl, the back of the shirt is the same only it has the customer's name on top of the rest. "Kyosho" and Odonnell" are both two colors, layered.
I am getting a little discouraged about shirts, the amount of labor that went into this one was huge, with cutting, weeding, alignment of everything, etc. Compared to sign vinyl, shirts are looking like a huge pain!

FOR A PERSONALIZED SHIRT I WOULD THINK 15.00.YOU CAN GET A SHIRT ANYWHERE FOR 10 BUCKS,BUT NOT PERSONALIZED..
I am confused, is the t-shirt market that low-priced? Materials are at $5+. It takes at least a half hour to design, get customer approval, redesign. Figure labor to cut, weed, press 19 vinyl decals, all different colors, is at least a half hour, minimum. People are willing to do shirts for $5-$10 per hour? I make a minimum of $25 per hour doing sign vinyl and decals, sometimes up to $75 or more. Something isn't computing here. Or is this the type of shirt that is done with a different medium?
That's more along the line of my thoughts, but I have found that my thoughts don't apply in all markets.
I found the shirts, commercially made with the one large logo retailing for $19.
I think that the market that the shirts relate to will have a big impact on pricing. These ones will be for cost, because I sponsor the people, but they will be advertising for similar shirts for others, so was trying to get a handle on whether or not it was going to be feasible and where to price them.
Thanks for the input.
I would have gone 20 with them buying 5 of them.. would have been 25 if they bought just one..
This is this.. with this type of shirt.. It is advertising.. like a sponser shirt.. .. With the small number they wanted.. Its a premium product..
Sounds like you too are in the sign business as am I.. and I think as a whole we tend to look at our per shop hour rates..
I wouldnt undercharge.. .. ..
$50 per hour for artwork, $30-45 for the shirt.
19 logos = $45
If you was to embroider a shirt with 19 logos = $100 -140 just for the embroidery.
Remember, you are doing custom 1 of a kind like no other in the world shirt, charging $8-12 is foolish.
I think $25-$30 is a fare price. If they order more than 1 you coul give then a $5 break.Remember profit is not a dirty word. Don't sell yourself and talents short..... Good luck ... JB
At that price you are out of business. Our custom shirts start at $20 and go from there depending on how much art and how many colors. $35 custom shirts are quite common at the events we attend. That shirt is easily $35 in a short run. Any amount over 12 and you could have them screen printed or transfers made. The nice deal is if they balk at $35 you do have an alternative with the previously mentioned printing solutions.
