Why This Price?
Custom apparel pricing depends on three things: the garment, the decoration method, and the quantity. We aim to be transparent about every line on every quote so you can see exactly what you're paying for.
What drives the price
- Garment — premium garments cost more but last longer and look better. We stock everything from value tees through to organic and heavyweight options.
- Decoration method — screen printing is most cost-effective for bulk; DTG and DTF for small runs and complex artwork; embroidery for premium uniforms.
- Quantity — bigger orders unlock lower per-unit prices. We have at least six price breaks on quantity orders.
- Number of colours and print locations — every additional spot colour or print location adds setup and ink cost on screen printing.
- Artwork preparation — small amendments are usually free; complex re-draws are charged at £25 per hour plus VAT.
How to keep your costs down
- Pick a budget garment for one-day events or giveaways — entry-level tees are great value for short-life uses.
- Keep your design to 1–2 colours for the lowest screen-print cost.
- Order more in one go — bigger runs are better value per garment.
- Stick to a single print location to avoid extra setup.
- Plan ahead — standard turnaround orders avoid rush surcharges.
What you won't pay for
We don't add hidden setup fees on most decoration methods, and our quotes show every charge up front. Mock-ups and digital proofs are included as standard.
