Pricing & minimums
How much does custom apparel cost?
Straight answer: it depends on the garment, the decoration method, and how many you order — and the per-piece price drops as quantity climbs. Every product page prices your exact order live, so you never wait on a quote for standard work.
What drives the price
- The garment — a basic tee costs less than a performance polo or premium hoodie.
- The decoration method — screen print, DTF, embroidery, or engraving (each priced differently).
- Quantity — bulk tiers lower the per-piece price as you order more.
- One-time setup — screen print and engraving have a setup fee; embroidery has a one-time digitizing fee (reused free on reorders); DTF has none.
Add it all up on the product page — garment + decoration + quantity tier — and you see the real total before checkout. No hidden fees.

How bulk pricing works
Pricing is tiered: as your quantity crosses each tier, the per-piece price steps down. You'll see the exact price at your quantity right on the product page — adjust the number and watch it update. For screen print especially, larger runs are dramatically cheaper per shirt once the one-time setup is spread across the order.
Do I need a quote?
Not for standard orders — the product page is your quote, with garment cost, decoration, bulk tier, and total all shown before checkout. Written quotes are reserved for complex special orders: multi-piece uniform programs, unusual decoration combinations, or very large quantities. For those, call 928-387-4348 or send us the details and we'll put together a written quote.
