You hear it all the time, buy in bulk and you will save a lot of money! It’s basically Costco’s business model.
Screen Printing & Buying in Bulk
Though the saying is true for many items across the board nothing comes quite as close to it as the screen printing industry. When it comes to screen printing the printing process is actually the fastest part of the whole thing. Most of the costs associated with screen printing are in the set up process. So the more shirts that you order the cost per shirt decreases.
The screen printing process requires almost every person in the company! From the artwork, creating the film, converting the film to screens, to the printers setting up the screens and printing the apparel. There are a lot of people involved in one project.
We would love to be able to help everyone and do orders with one or two shirts. It’s just not realistic and would end up costing upwards of $100+ to do. We set the minimums for our orders in order to keep the cost down for you.
If you have any other questions regarding our process or our minimums CONTACT US.
