How the pricing works
What the price includes
Every price on this page is all-in: the blank garment plus one color printed on the front. Nothing else is added to the per-piece figure. A white underbase on a dark garment is included at no charge and never counts as an ink color.
More colors in the design
Prices rise per ink color. At 12 to 23 pieces the print runs $10 for one color and $14, $18 and $22 for two, three and four colors. At 50 to 99 pieces it is $5, $6, $7 and $8 for the same. Larger runs drop further; at 500 or more, one color is $3.25 per piece.
Printing on the back as well
The location with the highest ink count bills at the full rate, and every other location bills at 60 percent of the rate for its own color count. Two colors on the front with one on the back costs the same as one on the front with two on the back.
Sizes and sweatshirts
Prices shown are for small through extra large. 2XL and 3XL add the garment's own upcharge, which varies by style. Fleece adds $3.50 to the garment and $1.50 per print location, and that is already included in the sweatshirt prices above.
Minimum and mixing
The minimum is 12 pieces per design. Brands, styles, colors and sizes can be combined toward one quantity tier as long as the same artwork prints on every piece. Heavily mixed orders of largely one-off pieces carry an additional handling fee.
Shipping, tax and turnaround
Free UPS Ground shipping anywhere in Virginia, 6 percent Virginia sales tax, and 2 to 3 weeks from the paid invoice. Orders are folded by the dozen. A paid invoice is what places an order.
Prices change
Blank costs move with distributor pricing, so published prices are subject to change and quoted prices are confirmed at invoicing. The catalog on rvathreads.com is always the current source.
