Common questions
How much does it cost to print 50 performance tees?
About $16.60 each on a Sport-Tek PosiCharge Competitor Tee and $16.60 each on a Sport-Tek PosiCharge Competitor Tee, for a one-location one-color print — roughly $830.00 to $830.00 for 50, shipped. The Carhartt Force Sun Defender SS T-Shirt runs $41.90 each.
What is the minimum order for custom performance tees?
24 pieces. You can mix sizes and garment colors freely within that 24 — the total is what sets your price, not how you split it up.
How long does custom performance tee printing take?
8 business days to your door on free delivery, 4 on rush, for a typical 48-piece run. Both dates are shown before you order and account for larger runs, which add a couple of days on press.
Can I print on more than one shirt color in the same order?
Yes, at no extra cost. The same screens print on every color, and the white underbase for dark garments is free. 24 black and 24 white is priced identically to 48 black.
Do you charge screen, setup, or digitizing fees?
No. Screens, setup, and digitizing are built into the per-piece price, and US shipping is free. The number you see is the number you pay.
What if my design has more than one color?
A second ink color adds $2.20 per piece at 48 pieces and a third adds $2.05, shown live as you build the order. Up to 14 colors are priced online from your art. Gradients, photo-style detail, or more than 14 colors go to a print expert first — we email you the difference and nothing prints or is charged until you say yes.
What file format do you need for my logo?
Vector art is best — AI, EPS, or PDF. A high-resolution PNG at 300 dpi works for most designs. You don't need artwork to place an order; a print expert reviews your file after you order and sends a mockup for approval before anything goes to press.
