Pricing

How we price it

No mystery mark-ups: you pay for setup once, then for each item or square metre. The same engine prices the shop, your quote and your invoice.

01

Setup, once

Digitising, file preparation, patterns or a proof print are charged once per order — not per item — and many are free when you reorder the same design.

02

Then per unit

Each garment or square metre is priced from real inputs: the blank or material, machine time, ink, thread or vinyl and finishing.

03

Bulk is honest

Bigger orders cost less each because the setup is spread over more units — not because we cut corners or margin on the work itself.

04

Proof, then deposit

Nothing is made until you approve a proof. Custom work takes a 55 % deposit (balance before dispatch); stock items are paid 100 % up front.

Charged once

Preparing your print file (RIP) — once per design, half credited on a reorder.

Charged per unit

Each garment: the blank, plus film and ink for the print area and press time. Trade transfers are priced per linear metre.

Questions

FAQ

DTF or screen print?
DTF has no screens, so it is the better buy for full-colour art and for runs up to a few hundred. For very large one- or two-colour runs we'll tell you if screen printing is cheaper.
Can I buy transfers and press them myself?
Yes. Send a print-ready gang sheet (or let us build one) and we print it on 60 cm film by the metre, ready to press.
What resolution does my artwork need?
At least 150 dpi at the printed size, or a vector file. We check every file when you order.
Will I see it before it's made?
Yes. Every decorated order gets a proof — placement, size and colours — and nothing goes into production until you approve it.
