So just launched our site and designs this past Saturday. We have someone who is interested in getting 15 t-shirts done. We currently outsource our heat transfers and press ourselves.
Our selling cost is $10/per shirt. We don’t factor in anything else.

Is this too low?

We want to offer an affordable price but at the same time, not sell ourselves short either. We look at it as, would we spend the $10 for a shirt? Sure we would, but anything over that? Maybe $12, but nothing higher.

Does that seem logic to anyone else?

With low quantities I charge more whether its a transfer or screen printed. Your market, customer base and other factors will dictate price. Be confident when quoting. If a customer thinks you can budge of price most will try. Sell yourself first and the shirt second.

Not everyone on this forum is in the print business. A lot of end users here. Not the best idea to be showing industry prices on here. Since it is too late for that...I didn't see anywhere that you factored in overhead, labor and profit.

I didn't see an issue with showing my cost and I didn't say where I get my supplies from. But I will redit and remove it if you will edit your and remove the quote

I thought I factored in my overhead/labor and profit in the overall price decently.

There is no real issue saying $2.00 a shirt. Anyone with a few min and the Internet can find case pricing which is lower then $2.00 a shirt for you average shirts.

At a 15 shirt order I would charge $12-$15 a shirt. $10 at 24-36 shirts. If you start low its hard to raise prices later. If they baulked at the price of $12-$15 that leaves room for you to say Ill give you some special pricing on this order and let them think their getting a better deal.

I charge more then my entire area. Sometimes double then others.

You have to remeber it is much easier to drop a price than to raise one. You must be taking into consideration if your job comes out bad and you have to redo everything and things of that nature think as though you were a bigger business and try to prevent losses as much as possible. You just have to find the equalibrium in which you can cover yourself and offer a great price I suggest doing some research.
Good luck :thumbup:
