Good to know

How much do custom t-shirts cost per piece?

Basic screen-printed cotton shirts (such as Gildan 5000) cost $5 to $10 each for orders of 50 to 100 units with a 1-color print. Single-piece Direct-to-Garment (DTG) prints or short runs usually cost $18 to $30 per shirt depending on the fabric quality and print locations.

What is the standard turnaround time for apparel printing?

Standard production for screen printing is 7 to 10 business days after artwork approval. DTG and heat transfer orders are faster, taking 2 to 5 business days, with rush turnaround (24–48 hours) available for an extra 25% to 50% fee.

Should I choose screen printing or Direct-to-Garment (DTG)?

Choose screen printing for orders over 24 pieces with simple 1- to 3-color logos, as cost per unit drops significantly with higher quantities. Opt for DTG if you need under 20 shirts, full-color detailed graphics, or photorealistic photos printed on 100% cotton garments.
