Hi,

I was just curious about pricing for screen printing. I never did a large job and just wondering what people are charging. My client wants 2000 dark colored shirts (100%cotton), 2-color front and back and on the right sleeve is a 1-color white logo. The front is script wording going up on the right side (21") of the shirt (in white) and 6 inch leaf at the top (in green). The back has white lettering and a small graphic image going thru in green.

Does $2.53/per shirt sound too high? too low? Not including t-shirts, set up or screen charges. BTW, doing this manually.

Any help is appreciated.

Sounds pretty low to me. That's a lot of shirts to print manually. It may be an ok price to print on an auto.

That price is too low. Think about the labor, time, production, and shipping.

$1.85 per shirt here....

If I understand correct, the price was only for printing
correct me if i'm wrong....
Yep - on that size order, it is time for an auto....
Would probably be a good idea to look for somebody to run it on an auto machine, add $ .15 to $.20 and make some $$ without touching it....
That is what I'd do

Just wondering what others would charge? If it get's to a point where i don't think it's profitable for me, i might outsource it.

Thanks. I was already talking to others with autos.

Outsource it.

Outsource it.

I agree making a little for no labor is better than making a littlle with labor involved. .... JB

Jumping on the outsourcing bandwagon. Outsourcing isn't something you should be afraid of, just make sure you hire a professional.
