How Much Do Custom DTF Shirts Cost? (Pricing Factors + Easy Examples)

The 5 biggest factors that change the price

1) Quantity (the biggest lever)

In most custom apparel orders, the per-shirt cost goes down as quantity goes up.

2) Shirt type + brand

Basic tees cost less than premium blanks. If youre ordering for a group, we can recommend a reliable option. Gildan options are available.

3) Print size

A small left-chest logo typically costs less than a large full-front graphic.

4) Print placement (front only vs front + back)

Adding a back print or sleeve print increases production time and materials.

5) Artwork readiness

If your file is print-ready (clean, high resolution), its quicker to produce. If it needs cleanup or redesign, well let you know whats needed.

These examples show how pricing changes based on choices: - Example A: Small logo front only (great for work shirts) - Example B: Full front graphic (great for merch) - Example C: Left chest + full back (great for teams and events)
