How Much Does Custom T-Shirt Printing Cost in Indiana?

One of the most common questions we get at QuickPress Apparel is: "How much does it cost to print custom t-shirts?" The honest answer is — it depends on a few key factors. Let's break it all down.

What Affects the Price?

1. Quantity

This is the biggest factor. Printing 1 shirt costs significantly more per unit than printing 50 or 100. Here's a rough breakdown:

• 1–5 shirts: $20–$35 per shirt
• 12–24 shirts: $14–$22 per shirt
• 48+ shirts: $8–$14 per shirt
• 100+ shirts: $6–$10 per shirt

2. Printing Method

We specialize in Direct-to-Film (DTF) printing, which is ideal for full-color designs with no minimum order. Traditional screen printing requires setup fees but becomes more cost-effective at high quantities.

3. Shirt Style & Quality

A basic Gildan Heavy Cotton will cost less than a premium Bella + Canvas or Comfort Colors garment. We offer a range of blanks to fit every budget.

4. Rush Orders

Need your shirts fast? Same-day and next-day rush orders are available for an additional fee, typically 25–50% on top of the base price.

Tips to Save Money

• Order more at once — even if you don't need them all right away, bulk pricing pays off
• Keep your design simple — fewer colors = lower cost with some methods
• Plan ahead — avoid rush fees by ordering 5–7 days in advance
• Use our AI Design Studio — design your own shirts for free instead of hiring a designer
