Hey guys, I realize prices will vary from shop to shop based on overheard and what not, but I'm just curious where I stand on my pricing...

So if you wouldn't mind pricing this out just so I see where I'm at

100 white gildan 2000 shirts with the phrase "Go now!!!" Printed on the front with black ink..

Thanks,
Jeron

That would go for around 8 bucks around here... I just did 160 two colour front 1 colour back for a wholesale client who supplied those gildan whites. My billfor print @25 percent off was 650.00 final bill to the end user was.... 1800.00

That's sweet Curtis. And when you can get it, you should get it. Jeron, figuring out your price can be really tricky, but remember that you don't have to be the cheapest guy in town. Especially if the most expensive guy in town is still in business after all these years making money. Find a middle ground, and then earn it with quality.

Yeah i am about $6.50.. and i actually called around and got quotes from other places with this similar quote and one came back at $7.24 a piece and another came back at $4.50. So i feel pretty good with my price at the moment. I'm just so new and haven't done many jobs that i second guess myself.

thanks for your input everyone..

Superman can't create a positive, burn, set up, print and clean a screen in 25-35 minutes. ..

 

[Neweraprinting]

I agree... I mean you have to clean and coat a screen, art and print transparency, burn and washout, dry screen, tape and setup, print 100 shirts, teardown and clean screen, fold shirts and box....

I'm probably slow but I feel like it would take me 10-15 minutes to just fold the dang shirts ha ha

Thanks,
Jeron

Yea Jeron, even with your 17 second exposure time, I don't see 30 min start to finish...

I am glad I'm not doing this in California. There's something to be said for the climate, but they seem to work like dogs for a nickle...
