Custom T-Shirts

The workhorse of company apparel. Event shirts, staff tees, run and walk fundraisers, team shirts and giveaways. The two questions that decide the price are how many you need and how many colors are in the design, and we will tell you straight which method costs you less.

What it costs

Per shirt for one chest print, on top of the shirt itself. Screen printing adds $25.00 per screen, once: one screen per color, per design. DTF has no setup at all. A full front or full back is 50% more than a chest logo.

QuantityDTF printScreen print
1 to 11$8.50$15.00
12 to 23$7.00$12.00
24 to 47$6.00$10.00

250 and up$3.50$6.50

Both columns are the live rate card this site charges. The shirt is priced separately in the shop, and a second print location is charged at its own rate.

What it is good for

  • Event and conference shirts, ordered in bulk
  • Staff tees and volunteer shirts
  • Fundraisers, runs and charity walks
  • Team and league shirts
  • Giveaways and merch for a launch

When something else is better

Customer-facing uniforms that need to look sharp for years. A tee is a short-life garment by nature; for front-of-house staff a polo with an embroidered logo usually earns its higher price. See our work uniforms page.

Artwork we can use

  • For screen printing, count the colors in your design: each one is a screen.
  • For a photograph, a gradient or many colors, DTF prints it in full color at no extra cost.
  • Vector art (AI, EPS, SVG, PDF) is best. A large, sharp PNG works too.
  • Not sure which you have? Send it and we will tell you, and redraw it if it needs it.

Not sure your file will work? Send it over and we will tell you before you order, not after.

How it works

1 Tell us the job

Quantity, sizes, shirt color and the date you need them. A date matters: say it up front and we will confirm whether it can be met before you pay.

2 We recommend the method

Screen print or DTF, whichever is cheaper for your quantity and your design, with the price for both if it is close.

3 You approve a proof

You see the design on the shirt, at its real size and position. Nothing prints until you say yes.

4 We print and deliver

With tracking, or collect from our Phoenix shop. Shipping is free on orders over $500, and collecting from our Phoenix shop is always free.

Nothing goes into production without an approved proof. That is enforced by the software, not by somebody remembering.

Common questions

How much do custom t-shirts cost?

The shirt plus the print. A one-color chest print by screen printing runs from $15.00 a shirt down to $6.50 at 250 or more, plus $25.00 per screen once. DTF runs from $8.50 down to $3.50 with no setup. The shirts themselves are priced in our shop, from basic cotton tees to premium soft blends.

Screen printing or DTF for t-shirts?

Screen printing for larger runs of a design with a few solid colors: the setup is paid once and the price per shirt keeps dropping. DTF for small runs, many colors or photographic artwork, because there is no setup at all. Tell us the quantity and the design and we will tell you which is cheaper.

Is there a minimum order?

No. We will print one shirt. Below about two dozen, DTF is usually the cheaper way to do it.

Can we get mixed sizes in one order?

Yes. Order the size run you need: a few smalls, mostly larges, a couple of 3XLs. The quantity price is worked out on the whole run, not per size.

Can you have them ready for our event?

Often, yes. Give us the event date when you ask for a quote. We confirm the date once we have checked garment stock and your artwork, and the sooner you approve the proof the more time there is.
