$12 for a white tee with one color print would be on the high side in my area so I guess it would depend on your location and if your market can support that. A white one color screen printed tee in my area is in the $7 range and there are about a couple dozen or so printers in my area that are even lower.
Question About A Special I'm Planning

well, if you had a $25 set-up charge, that brings it down to $75. divide that by 12 and your per shirt charge is $6.25. that's fair and reasonable. how i would advertise that is saying your shirts are $6.25 each and somewhere you'd have to say there's a $25 set-up fee.
there are often variables that don't get mentioned in these questions and replies, though, so take that for what it's worth. i promise you someone will do it for $5.
it doesn't matter because the point is your customer, if you talked to them, will tell you they can get it done somewhere else cheaper 87.3% of the time. that's when you tell them to go for it.
but, no, i don't think that's unreasonable. that's close to what i quoted someone not long ago, but my turnaround time is faster than most places. we didn't get the job because the coach over rode the team mom (he didn't want to get *anything*, she wanted to give her girls a little extra something, and gee, i wonder whose pocket that went into? hmmm. lol), not because of the price.
i haven't been doing this very long, but i learned within 6 weeks not to complete with super low prices. i'm not breaking my back for less than i can make working at taco bell and anyone that will can have that kind of work for all i care.

yeah I know there's alot of places that would do em cheaper, but I just wasn't sure...I figure 12 tees for $100 was between high & low price...don't wanna give away stuff too cheap...figure a $25 screen charge and I'll have the shirts shipped in 48 hours...I've been printing for about 4-5 months and I'm pretty confident in my 1 & 2-color work but as far as pricing I'm somewhat lost....I like to be able to offer decent prices...not cheap as hell, but the same or a bit lower than competition if it's reasonable.well, if you had a $25 set-up charge, that brings it down to $75. divide that by 12 and your per shirt charge is $6.25. that's fair and reasonable. how i would advertise that is saying your shirts are $6.25 each and somewhere you'd have to say there's a $25 set-up fee.

I should have looked at more printing websites to see the prices instead of basing my prices off the first few I checked out.
