Short answer: a heavyweight cotton tee with a one-color front print is $10.38 each at 48 pieces on a light shirt, $10.63 on a dark one, and $15.22 with a front and back print on a dark shirt, plus $20 per screen. Battle Born Clothing publishes the schedule. Here is how each number is built and what changes it.

## The price is the blank plus the print

Every shirt price on this site is two parts. The blank is the shirt itself at our published price: supplier cost times two when the cost is under $10, cost plus 35% when it is $10 or more. The print is a per-piece charge per location. One-time fees (screens) are listed separately so you can see what a reorder costs.

## The screen print rate

| Job | Print per piece | Screens (one-time) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 color, 1 location, light shirt | $4.34 | $20 |
| 1 color, 1 location, dark shirt (adds a flash) | $4.59 | $20 |
| 1 color front + 1 color back, light shirt | $8.68 | $40 |
| 1 color front + 1 color back, dark shirt | $9.18 | $40 |

$4.34 per location per piece is the rate at 48 pieces for one ink color. A location is a place on the shirt: front, back, sleeve, pocket. Each ink color at each location is its own screen at $20. A dark shirt adds a $0.25 flash per location because we lay down a white underbase and flash-cure it before the color goes on.

## On the hero shirt

| Job | Blank | Print | All-in each | Screens once |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 color front, light shirt | $6.04 | $4.34 | $10.38 | $20 |
| 1 color front, dark shirt | $6.04 | $4.59 | $10.63 | $20 |
| 1 color front + 1 color back, light | $6.04 | $8.68 | $14.72 | $40 |
| 1 color front + 1 color back, dark | $6.04 | $9.18 | $15.22 | $40 |

The PC61 is our default because it is a $6.04 blank that prints well and lasts. A Gildan 64000, Comfort Colors 1717 or Next Level 3600 swaps the blank price and keeps the print rate; those blanks are quoted per job.

## What moves the number

| Change | Effect |
|---|---|
| More shirts | Rate drops at the quantity breaks; quoted per job above and below 48 |
| Fewer shirts (12-47) | Screens are spread over fewer pieces; DTF may be cheaper, quoted per job |
| Second ink color | +$20 screen and a higher per-piece rate, quoted per job |
| Second location (back, sleeve) | +$20 screen and a second print charge ($4.34 or $4.59) |
| Dark shirt | +$0.25 flash per location |
| Hoodie instead of tee | Blank quoted per job; print rate unchanged |
| 2XL and up | Supplier size upcharge on the blank |
| Customer-supplied shirts | $2 per item handling, ~4% spoilage allowance |

## Three worked totals

| Order | Math | Total |
|---|---|---|
| 48 white PC61, 1-color front (5K volunteer shirts) | 48 x $10.38 + $20 | $518.24 |
| 48 black PC61, front + back (brewery staff) | 48 x $15.22 + $40 | $770.56 |
| 48 Safety Green PC61, front + back (crew shirts) | 48 x $14.72 + $40 | $746.56 |

## Questions
**Is there a minimum?** No hard minimum. 48 and up is where screens stop dominating the price. Under that we quote DTF alongside.

**Do the screen fees apply on a reorder?** Yes. Screens are reclaimed after a job, so each run re-burns them at $20 per color. We keep your art on file.

**Is tax included?** No. Nevada sales tax is added per order unless you send a resale or exemption certificate.
