These discounts make bulk orders for teams, events, or businesses even more affordable while maintaining our high-quality DTF printing standards.

What Affects Custom T-Shirt Printing Costs?

Several factors influence the final price of your custom t-shirts:

1. Print Location

  • Single-side printing (front or back only) costs less

  • Double-side printing adds to the cost due to additional materials and labour

2. Design Complexity

  • Simple text or logo designs are straightforward

  • Multi-colour, detailed designs require more printing precision

  • Full-colour photo prints are handled beautifully with our DTF technology

3. T-Shirt Quality & Brand

We work with trusted Australian suppliers including:

  • Aussie Pacific (our most-used supplier - Adelaide-based for next-day delivery)

  • JB's Wear

  • Ramo

  • AS Colour

  • Biz Collection

  • Syzmik

Different brands and fabric qualities affect the base cost of the blank shirt.

4. Order Quantity

While we have no minimum orders (yes, you can order just one custom shirt!), bulk orders benefit from our tiered discount structure starting at 11+ items.

5. Turnaround Time

  • Standard turnaround: Next day if shirts are in stock

  • Rush orders: Same-day printing available for walk-in customers

  • Special orders: Up to 14 days if we need to order specific shirt styles or colours
