Are you wondering how much custom T-shirts cost? Can you afford custom decorated tees for your company, school, or event? The answer is most likely YES, but (always a but, I know) there are a lot of variables that can affect your bottom line. Here is a top ten list of the most common variables that affect your custom T-shirt price:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. The quantity of your order:<\/strong> The greater the quantity, the lower the cost per shirt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. The brand and style of shirt you choose:<\/strong> Cost, quality, and fit vary greatly from one shirt to the next. For example, you are likely going to pay more for a Nike T-shirt than you are for Champion T-shirt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. The fabric type<\/strong>: Tri-blend tees (the super soft tees that have become highly popular) are typically more expensive than a 100-percent cotton tee,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. The number of colors in your design:<\/strong> A single color print requires only one screen; a multi-color print requires multiple screens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Multiple print locations.<\/strong> Adding a back or sleeve print (or both) will increase the cost of each shirt (although we think it\u2019s well worth it!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. The ink color(s) you choose:<\/strong> Standard, in-stock ink colors are more cost-effective than custom blended, metallic, glow-in-the-dark, or other specialty inks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Personalization:<\/strong> Individual names and numbers will add to each shirt\u2019s cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8. Turnaround time:<\/strong> Rush fees will affect the bottom line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

9. Shirt size and color:<\/strong> Unusual colors and extended sizes may cost a little more per shirt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

10. Print method<\/strong>. If you order 6 or more items, screen-printing is generally the cheapest option, but some very intricate designs may benefit from a digital print. Similarly embroidered designs also typically cost more than screen-printed ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Broken Arrow pricing: What you see is what you get!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unlike other custom screen-printers, we never charge set-up fees.  The price quote on the screen is the price. Standard shipping is free. The only exception is whether your state charges sales tax, which will be added if required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On average, a nice quality, custom T-shirt from Broken Arrow cost between $8 and $20 per shirt.<\/strong> For example, 100 Gildan black T-Shirts with a three-color print will cost you approximately $8.50 each.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
