HOW DO WE DETERMINE THE PRICES FOR OUR SERVICES?
Prices are determined by three things: quantity, garment style, and design. The higher the quantity the less it cost to print. As for garment style, it would cost to produce a Bella Canvas shirt compared to a Gildan Ultra Cotton shirt. However, you also have the option of bringing your own garments, and this does not affect the normal cost of screen printing and embroidery.
As for design, it will be less costly if fewer ink colors and a number of locations were to be printed.
