Frequently Asked Questions
Puff Print
Consider the unique texture of puff printing, which adds a distinctive dimension to your shirts for an extra $2 per location.
The chosen printing method and design location impact the overall cost. More colors and a more extensive surface area cover contribute to a higher price per garment.
Screen printing suits large, simple designs and becomes more cost-effective with increased quantities.
The choice of fabric significantly influences customization costs.
