Great Ways to Save Money on Your Screen Printing Project

February 3, 2019Jay Malanga

How to Save Money on Your Screen Printing Project

Print estimating software is used to give you an accurate estimate of the cost, time, and materials that your custom shirt order requires. This is a great way to know what you are spending, but the initial sticker price might be a shocker. To avoid the surprise high costs, there are a few things you can do to ensure your order stays on budget:

1. Buy larger quantities. When you are ordering bulk items, the per item price tends to go down as the amount you order goes up. Therefore, you’re getting a cheaper item when you order more. The per item price includes the cost for materials and overhead. However, with larger orders, the overhead and materials become a lesser cost. This means a company can quote you a better price.

2. Ask for fewer ink colors. More colors equal more time and raw materials. This means your order is going to come out costing more. To reduce order costs, ask for fewer ink colors, or go with just one color for the lowest cost. This savings really reflects when your orders are larger. In addition, you’ll get your order faster.

3. Buy white shirts. Colored shirts require dyes, which cost more to produce. This additional price might only be $1 per shirt, but when you are ordering 100 shirts, it does add up. Ask for white shirts to save the most money. This savings will factor into bulk orders and single shirt orders.
