1. Why Screen Printing Wins at Bulk
Screen printing has a fixed setup cost per color that gets spread across every piece in the run — the more pieces you print, the lower that setup cost becomes per unit, which is why it dominates at high volume.
2. How the Setup Cost Works
Each color in your design requires its own screen, so a 2-color design costs more to set up than a 1-color design — but once made, screens can be reused for reorders of the same design.
3. Why Color Count Matters
Simplifying a design to 1–2 solid colors dramatically reduces setup cost while still looking clean and professional on most bulk orders like event tees or team uniforms.
4. Planning a Bulk Run Correctly
Confirm your final design, exact quantity, and sizing breakdown before production starts — changes after screens are made can mean an entirely new setup cost.
