Pricing Considerations

• Number of pieces being sewn at one time (price-per-piece decreases when we sew larger quantities as part of the same order)
• The stitch count of your design (price-per-piece increases with higher stitch counts)
• Unlike screen printing, the number of colors does not the affect price of embroidery.
• Designs must be made sewing machine ready. This is called digitizing or an embroidery tape. Once a design is made machine ready, it can be used again and again for similar applications.

Screen print pricing is most commonly affected by these factors. As printed quantities increase, the impact of these factors becomes less significant:

• the number of items printed (costs per item decrease with higher quantities).
• the number of locations printed (per item costs increase with each additional print location).
• the number of colors printed (costs increase for each additional color).
• The color of the apparel you are printing (darker colored apparel costs more and requires additional attention to print well).

Other factors that may affect pricing include:

• the type of fabric being printed (nylon, mesh, and poly fabrics require additional attention)
• the ease of printing in a particular location (for example, sleeves can sometimes be more time consuming).
