Screen printing
One screen per colour, cured at 150–160°C through the film. Cheapest per piece above roughly fifty units, and the most durable finish on cotton.

Custom apparel, quoted in tiers from one form
Most custom apparel quotes arrive as a single number for a single quantity, which hides the only thing worth knowing: where the setup stops dominating the price. This page takes one form and comes back with a tiered quote — 100, 250 and 500 pieces — so the volume decision is visible before the order is placed.
Embroidery
Flat or 3D foam, priced per 1,000 stitches. Outlasts every print and cannot reproduce a gradient — the right choice for a mark that has to survive washing.

DTG and DTF
Digital, no setup, best for photographic artwork. DTG on cotton, DTF on dark and blended fabric. Both are quoted per piece with no screen cost.
See digital printingWhat changes a custom apparel price
- The blank. Weight and yarn decide more of the price than the print does: 160gsm and 300gsm are different products, not different versions of one.
- Colours in the artwork. Every screen colour is a setup and a cost line; embroidery charges per thread colour change.
- Placement count. Front plus back plus sleeve is three positions, and each has its own setup even on the same shirt.
- Quantity per colour and style. The minimum is 100 per colour and style, and the setup amortises across the run above that.
- Labels and packaging. Woven neck labels and printed bags are separate batches with their own minimums.

Questions
How fast is an instant quote?
A tiered quote by email, usually within one business day. "Instant" here means one form instead of an email thread: we need the quantity breaks, the decoration and the delivery date before a number means anything.
Why is the price tiered rather than a single figure?
Because almost every cost in a decorated garment is a setup spread over a quantity. One quote at 100 pieces and another at 500 shows where the setup stops dominating — which is the number a buyer actually plans around.
Can I combine screen print and embroidery on one order?
Yes, and it usually lowers the landed cost because both run in the same factory and ship as one consignment. Each decoration is quoted separately and then added.
What do you need before quoting?
Garment type and weight, quantity per colour and style, decoration method and placement, delivery country and an approximate delivery date. Artwork can arrive later — it changes the setup, not the garment cost.
