1. Cost by Printing Method
Screen printing typically starts around £3+ per piece at volume; DTF and DTG start slightly higher per piece but avoid setup costs; embroidery carries a one-time digitizing fee then scales per piece.
2. Cost by Quantity
Pricing drops in tiers — expect meaningful discounts at 25, 50, 100, and 500+ piece thresholds, with per-piece cost falling significantly at higher volumes.
3. Cost by Garment Type
Basic t-shirts start around £7 per piece; polos and hoodies cost more due to garment price alone, independent of the printing method chosen.
4. Hidden Costs to Ask About
Always ask specifically about setup fees, delivery charges, and rush fees upfront — a reputable London printer will itemize all of these clearly in your quote.
