Pricing and On-line Quoting

Back to ALL FAQ's
  • HIDDEN CHARGES?: Are There Any Extra or Hidden Charges?
    • No. Our online quotes are intended to give you an all-in price, without surprise setup charges being added later.

      For screen printing, the quoted price includes the garments, up to one hour of artwork assistance if required, screen setups, printing, and delivery to many locations in Canada.

      The main exceptions are applicable taxes and any clearly identified surcharge for garments in sizes 2XL and larger.

      If your project has unusual requirements that aren't handled by our online quoting system, please contact us and we'll be happy to provide a quote for the complete project.

  • LOWERING MY PRICE PER UNIT
    • There are many ways to reduce your per unit price, including:

      For Printing:

      • Reducing the number of print locations
      • Reducing the number of colours you want to print in each location.
      • Printing onto a light coloured or white garment rather than a darker coloured garment.
      • Printing onto a lower quality / less expensive garment.
      • Increasing the number of garments you print (spreads set-up charges over more units).

      For Embroidery:

      • Reducing the number of embroidery locations.
      • Reducing the size of your design (which reduces the number of stitches in your design).
      • Embroidering ONLY text (ie, no graphics) with a "stock" font (reduces Set Up Charge)
      • Choosing a light coloured or white garment rather than a darker coloured garment.
      • Choosing a lower quality / less expensive garment.
      • Increasing the number of garments you print (spreads set-up charges over more units).
      • See also "What Affects My Price" for Screen Printing or Embroidery.
  • SMALL QUANTITIES: What's the Fewest You'll Do?
    • In most cases, the fewest items we will produce is between 12 and 18 pieces, although the exact minimum varies by product.

      Our minimum quantities reflect the setup and production work involved in traditional screen printing and our other decoration processes.

      You can choose the product you have in mind from our catalogue and use our online quoting system. If the quantity you enter is below the minimum for that product, the system will advise you of the applicable minimum.

      If you require fewer than our stated minimum, you may want to search for companies specializing in single-unit, small-quantity, or Direct-to-Garment (DTG) printing. Those companies use production methods better suited to very short runs.

      For promotional products, the smallest quantity shown for a particular product is generally the minimum quantity available.

  • PRICE MATCHING: Will You Match Pricing From Competitors?
    • Yes and No. We know that our prices are fair and we know that our customers get full value for the price charged. We also know that many of our competitors do not offer nearly the same level of Service and Quality that you receive at www.PrintedShirts.ca.

      However, we are aware that some of our worthy competitors out there are willing to do anything to get your business. If it’s a competitor that we respect, we’ll do what we can to make this an easy decision for you. Give us a call and one of our friendly Customer Service Reps will let you know what we can do. If you can send us a copy of a written quote from one of our competitors, we will ensure that we are comparing "apples to apples" and will do our best to match it.

      (On the other hand, if it’s some guy working out of his garage that’s offering you some "sweet pricing", you’re on your own!)
