Short answer: a heavyweight cotton tee with a one-color logo on the front is $10.38 each at 48 pieces on a white shirt, $10.63 on a dark one, plus one $20 screen. Add a one-color back print and a dark shirt is $15.22 plus $40 in screens. Here is where every number comes from and what moves it. Same prices in every state.

## The price is the blank plus the decoration

Battle Born Clothing lists both parts. The blank is the shirt at our published price: supplier cost times two when the cost is under $10, cost plus 35% when it is $10 or more. Our hero blank, the Port & Company PC61, is $6.04. The decoration is a per-piece rate that depends on the method and the quantity. One-time fees (screens, digitizing) are listed separately so you can see what a reorder costs.

## Screen print at 48 pieces

| Job | Blank | Print | All-in each | Screens (one-time) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 color, front, light shirt | $6.04 | $4.34 | $10.38 | $20 |
| 1 color, front, dark shirt (flash) | $6.04 | $4.59 | $10.63 | $20 |
| 1 color front + 1 color back, light shirt | $6.04 | $8.68 | $14.72 | $40 |
| 1 color front + 1 color back, dark shirt | $6.04 | $9.18 | $15.22 | $40 |

The $0.25 difference between light and dark is the flash: on a dark shirt we print a white underbase and flash-cure it so the top color stays bright. Each extra ink color adds a $20 screen and raises the per-piece rate, quoted for the job. Quantities other than 48 are quoted per job; more shirts means the screens are spread thinner and the per-piece rate comes down.

## Embroidery at every quantity break

| Quantity | Blank | Embroidery | All-in each |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1-11 | $6.04 | $12.00 | $18.04 |
| 12-23 | $6.04 | $6.00 | $12.04 |
| 24-47 | $6.04 | $6.00 | $12.04 |
| 48-59 | $6.04 | $5.50 | $11.54 |
| 60-79 | $6.04 | $4.50 | $10.54 |
| 80+ | $6.04 | $4.00 | $10.04 |

Embroidery has no screens, so it is the cheapest decoration at small quantities and a uniform look at any quantity. Add $18.99 digitizing once per design. Breaks are at 12, 24, 48, 60 and 80 and count across the whole order, polos and hoodies included.

## DTF transfers

Quoted per job. No setup fee, full color, and the right call under 48 pieces or for photo-style art. Transfers come from a Carson City partner and are pressed in our shop. For a 12-shirt family reunion run, DTF is almost always cheaper than screens.

## Worked totals

## What moves the price

- **Quantity.** Screens are fixed; 48 shirts split $20 into $0.42 each, 144 split it into $0.14. Embroidery drops at every break.
- **Ink colors.** Each color is a screen and a pass. One color is the cheapest shirt there is.
- **Locations.** Front and back doubles the print cost. A sleeve is a third location.
- **Shirt choice.** A PC61 is $6.04. A Comfort Colors 1717 costs more and is quoted per job. A Gildan 64000 costs less.
- **Sizes.** 2XL and up carry the supplier upcharge, usually $1 to $7 by size.
- **Dark vs light.** $0.25 per location for the flash on darks.
