We print customer supplied goods. Our price list is set for tee shirt printing. Should we misprint a few shirts we replace them at $2.00 each. However, many items can cost 10 time the cost of a regular tee. If you misprint 2 items it can cost all of the profit for a particular job. Does anyone work with a formula that compensates for this imbalance?

It's typical to have a 2 to 3% spoil allowance for customer supplied goods in your sales contracts. Supply 100 shirts, we only guarantee you'll get 97 back. Don't like it?-have us supply your garments. Then spoil allowance is 0.

Yeah, we don't print on customer supplied for that reason

Longtime contract printer here, 3% reject factor, which we might have reached maybe a half dozen times over 30 years. Now if a screen tears and pours ink all over a few (on an auto) before you notice, you're a little stuck. But if you run out of ink in a screen, or don't have enough tack causing mis-registration, or some other thing, then that's on you. You can raise your prices a little too.

I have schools that bring me their Nike garments to letter. I don"t deal with Nike anymore.
Congratulations! Your in the End User Business where Nike wants you. I am the finest printer
