What it costs and why

We will not publish a price list, because a quote depends on the garment, the decoration, the quantity and the finish. Here is how it works, so you can plan.

What makes up a price

The garment

The biggest single line. Priced from our trade cost with a markup that falls as quantity rises. Weight is what moves it most: a 155gsm tee and a 500gsm hood sit at opposite ends of the ranges we supply.

Decoration

Screen print, DTF or embroidery, priced per position per garment. Screen print carries a one-off origination per colour per design, up to eight spot colours, and that set-up is spread across the run, so it falls away as the quantity rises. Printing onto a dark garment needs a base white, which we include in every quote. DTF has no set-up at all.

Finishing

Relabelling, swing ticket application and bagging, charged per garment.

Labels and tickets

Made to order, minimum 100 per design.

Set-up

Screen originations where applicable. Digitising and vector redraw where needed.

Minimums

Relabelling and finishing
25 garments, mixed styles counted together
Woven labels and swing tickets
100 per design, which is the label maker minimum
Lead time
Up to four weeks from artwork approval
Woven label production
7 to 10 working days, new and repeat, alongside production
Orders without labels
Usually two to three weeks
Packaging
1,000, 4 to 6 weeks

Below 25 garments we can still print and embroider. You just cannot have your own label on that quantity, because the labels themselves start at 100 per design.

Branded packaging is made to order on a 4 to 6 week lead time, so it needs starting well before the garments. If boxes or tissue are part of your launch, tell us early and we will work the dates back from your drop.

Why your second order is cheaper

Your labels are already made. Your film is made once and held here, so a screen print reorder comes from the same original and matches your first run. Your embroidery file is digitised once and held. None of that is charged again.

Order 100 or more and the labels and tickets drop into a lower band as well.

Your margin improves as you scale rather than staying flat. That is the point.

What we do not do

  • We are not a print-on-demand supplier. We sample from one garment, but we do not run production in ones and twos.
  • We do not accept client-supplied garments. We source everything, so we can stand behind the finish.
  • We cannot advise on trademarks or brand names. That is a job for a solicitor.
  • Brand launch orders are paid in full before production. We are buying stock and making your labels to order.
  • Samples are chargeable. We do not credit them against a later order.

Pricing questions

  • A quote depends on the garment, the decoration, the quantity and the finish. Weight moves the garment line most: a 155gsm tee and a 500gsm hood sit at opposite ends of the ranges we supply. We quote every job on what you actually want to make rather than publishing a list that would be wrong for most of them.

A 350gsm hoodie and a 400gsm hoodie look identical online and feel completely different when you pick them up. Come to the Bradford unit and handle the range before you order.
