QUANTITY:

    Custom screenprinting is priced on a sliding scale.  The more shirts you have imprinted, the cheaper the individual shirt price will be.  In other words, if you order 24 shirts, the individual shirt price will be much higher than if you order 144 imprinted shirts.  Special discounts are generally applied to large volume orders (over 200 pieces).  A customer may mix shirt styles (t's, sweats, tank tops, etc.) to achieve a higher order count and therefore get a better price break.  There may also be additional set-up fees applied to small runs (if they are complex and involve lengthy press set-up time).

ARTWORK  SET-UP:

    Hatteras Silkscreen has an internationally recognized in-house art department.  We generally do not charge for custom artwork with large volume orders.  If you need to get a smaller batch of shirts imprinted, you should have as much information re: your design ideas written or sketched out when you stop by our shop.  It will save you money.  Often times, if the customer requires simple lettering or layouts, we will not charge for that level of service.  But as a general rule, the customer should expect to pay approximately $50 per hour for commercial art services and allow 1-2 additional weeks to the normal delivery time.

SCREEN SET-UP:

    Screen set-up is the fee charged to create the custom design's actual printing templates.  One screen is required for each ink color within a design.  Black and white are considered colors.  This is a one time fee which will not be repeated when the customer re-orders.  This fee also helps cover the cost of color separations as well.  Prices for screen set-up can run from $25 per screen/ink color to no charge at all (for large volume orders).  We keep a customer's screens on file.  Screens remain the property of Hatteras Silkscreen as they are recycled when unused for more than 6 months.  

TYPE OF SHIRTS:

    The style of shirt you order can reflect in the price as well.  Hatteras Silkscreen specializes in premium quality screenprinting, ie; we only use the best quality name-brand blanks for imprinting.  That's why so many people come to our modest shop and pass by the super-sized print shops.  But if you REALLY need a cheap shirt, we can print on those as well (time permitting).  

Factors that affect shirt price: 

1.) shirt color - dark colored t-shirts will cost more than a white or light colored shirt.

2.) shirt size - prices are generally quoted for adult sizes small thru X-large; XXL, XXXL & up cost extra.

3.) weight of shirt - we use pre-shrunk, heavywt blanks but,  the heavier blank, the more expensive.

4.) left-chest pockets - expect to pay extra (approx $1.50ea) for pocketed T's.
