How to save money on B2B screen print orders

Digital printing gets better every day. Still, screen printing, given its longevity and color vibrancy, remains one of the the best ways to show off a brand on apparel.

Use these three steps to keep your costs low when ordering prints for your business.

1. Use Fewer Colors

Screen printing costs are based on setup. Each color in your art needs its own screen.

  • The Action: Keep your design simple, focusing on essential colors and elements.

  • The Result: Picking two colors instead of six will save you a lot of money. The quality stays the same. Remember: You can use the shirt color as a extra "color" in your design.

2. Pick One Print Spot

Standard print spots are fast and easy. Adding prints to sleeves or neck tags takes more time and labor.

  • The Action: Put your logo in one main spot.

  • The Result: A large chest print costs less than many small prints in different spots. Focus on one area to get the most for your money.

3. Buy in Bulk

Our shop works best with large orders.

  • The Action: Check how many shirts you need for the whole year.

  • The Result: Buying 300 shirts at once is cheaper than buying 150 shirts twice. Buying more shirts at one time lowers the price of each shirt.
