The honest version: if your design is one to four solid colors and you are ordering 50 or more, screen printing is the cheapest and most durable way to do it, and we will point you here. Need photos, gradients, tiny runs, or a different name on every back? That is what DTF is for.

Built For This

When Screen Printing
Is the Right Call.

👕

Teams & Uniforms

Staff shirts, crew tees, team jerseys, event volunteers. One clean logo across a whole roster, printed the same on every piece, priced to make bulk worth it.

📦

Big Runs

The more you order, the less each shirt costs. Screen printing is built for volume, and by a few hundred pieces nothing else touches the per-shirt price.

🎯

Bold, Solid Branding

One to four solid colors, sharp edges, vivid ink that holds up wash after wash. A company logo or a two-color design is exactly what the press does best.

Real Numbers

Pricing, Out Loud.

No "call for pricing." This is the all-in price per shirt on a Gildan 5000, printed on the front. Add locations or premium garments and we quote those too.

Shirt (Gildan 5000) and front print, per piece. One-time setup is $30 per color and is waived on every exact reorder, so the second run of the same design is cheaper than the first. Each additional print location (back, sleeve) is charged at the same per-color rate. Softstyle, hoodies, and premium garments are priced on request. Minimum order $250.

What a real order looks like

36 × Gildan 5000 tee$207.00
36 × 2-color front print$198.00
Screen setup, 2 colors (one-time)$60.00
TOTAL$465.00

Thirty-six staff tees, two-color front. That is $12.92 a shirt the first time. Reorder the same design and you drop the $60 setup, so the next run is $11.25 a shirt. Lead time three weeks, door to door.

How It Works

Four Steps.

01

Send Your Art

Any format. We separate it into colors and prep it for the press. If it needs cleanup, we tell you before we charge you.

02

Approve the Proof

You see exactly how it will print, on the garment you chose. Nothing goes to press until you sign off.

03

We Print & Cure

Ink is pushed through the screen and cured into the fabric at heat, so it will not crack or wash out.

04

Inspected, Then Yours

Every piece checked before it leaves. Your screens go on file for free reorders. Pick up in Gonzales or we deliver locally.

Lead time: 3 weeks, door to door. On a deadline? Ask about our rush option.

Questions

What People Ask.

What is the minimum order?
Twelve pieces for screen printing, and a $250 minimum order overall. If you need fewer than twelve, or three or more colors under about four dozen, DTF is the smarter buy and we will route you there. No sense burning screens for a handful of shirts.
How many colors can you print?
Up to seven colors. Five, six, and seven color jobs need at least 48 pieces to run. If your design has more colors than that, or it is a photo or a gradient, DTF handles it with no color limit and usually for less.
Do I pay setup every time I order?
No. Setup is $30 per color, one time. We keep your screens on file, so any exact reorder has no setup fee at all. Change the art, a color, a year, or the print size and that counts as new screens, but reorder the same design and you never pay setup again.
How long does it take?
Three weeks, door to door, from approved art and paid order. That covers art proofing, blanks, printing, curing, inspection, and delivery. Reorders often move faster since the screens already exist. On a tight deadline, ask about the rush option.
Can I bring my own shirts?
Yes, with a signed waiver. Print charge runs 25% higher on supplied garments, and we ask you to bring 5% extra in case of a misprint. We inspect and count everything on arrival. We steer clear of nylon, performance jackets, and high-value pieces, since we cannot be responsible for garments we did not supply.
Screen printing or DTF, which is cheaper?
For one to four solid colors at 50 pieces or more, screen printing wins on both price and durability. For photos, full color, small runs, or every-shirt-different, DTF wins. Tell us the design and quantity and we give you the honest answer, even when it is the smaller ticket for us.
