Screen Printing 100 Shirts at A1A Print Shop in Fort Pierce, Florida

What is actually in the $599

  • 100 Gildan 5000 t-shirts — heavyweight 100% cotton, the industry standard blank.
  • One ink color, one print location — front or back, your choice.
  • Screen setup included — no separate $30 charge appearing later.
  • Mixed sizes at no extra cost — S through XL. 2XL and up carry the standard mill upcharge.
  • Your choice of shirt color — dark shirts may need a white underbase, which the editor flags.

Start the 100-for-$599 order and the deal applies automatically at checkout.

What pushes it above $599

Better to know now than at the invoice. A second ink color adds a screen and per-piece ink. A back print is a second location. Upgrading from the Gildan 5000 to a softer blank raises the garment cost. And 2XL and larger carry a mill upcharge we do not control.

All of it appears live in the editor as you change options. You never have to ask what something costs — you change it and watch the number move.

Design it, see it, order it

Most print shops ask you to email artwork and describe what you want. Then you wait, and hope the thing that shows up matches the thing in your head. We built the editor to delete that entire gap.

  1. Design itOpen the editor, pick your garment, and drop your artwork onto it. Move it, scale it, set your print size and placement. You are not describing what you want to somebody over the phone — you are building it.
  2. See itThe shirt on screen is the shirt you get. Real garment, real color, real print size and position, with your quantities broken out by size and color. What you see is what you get, before you spend anything.
  3. Order itThe price updates live as you change quantity, colors, garment, and locations. When it looks right, check out. No quote request, no waiting two days for an email, no phone call unless you want one.
  4. Approve itYou already approved it — you built it. We confirm the file and flag anything that will not print well before it goes on press, so nobody ever says "wait, that is not what I meant."
  5. We produce itYour order generates the production paperwork directly: separations, ink colors, placement, size breakdown, per location. Nothing gets retyped, so nothing gets mistyped.

No phone calls. No paper forms. No guessing. Start your order and you will have a real price in about two minutes.

Is 100 the right number?

One hundred sits at a genuinely good spot on the curve. Below 50 the setup is still a big share of what you pay. Past 100 the per-shirt price keeps falling but more slowly. Torn between 75 and 100? Put both into the editor — the hundred is often barely more in total and noticeably less per shirt.

What to upload

The editor accepts image files directly. Which formats depend on the method, because the methods need different things from your file.

MethodAccepted filesWhy
Screen printingPNG onlyNeeds a transparent background and hard edges so each ink color separates cleanly onto its own screen.
DTF / full colorPNG or JPGPrints full color, so a flat photographic file works. PNG still preferred if you want a transparent background.
EmbroideryPNG or JPGWe convert your image to a stitch file, so either works. Clean, high contrast art stitches best.
SublimationPNG or JPGFull color process, same as DTF.

Rule of thumb: screen printing needs a PNG. A JPG cannot hold a transparent background — it fills it in white — and that white box will print. Everything else takes PNG or JPG.

Frequently asked questions

Can I mix sizes in the 100?

Yes, no extra charge for S through XL, and you enter the breakdown yourself in the size grid. 2XL and above carry the standard mill upcharge, applied automatically.

Can I choose a different shirt?

Yes — the $599 is tied to the Gildan 5000, but swap to any blank in the catalog and the quote adjusts to that garment. Softer retail blanks cost more and are often worth it if people will wear these by choice.

How do I get a price?

Build the job in the online editor and the price appears as you go. Change the quantity, ink colors, garment, or print locations and the number updates immediately.

There is no quote form and nothing to wait for. Most people have a real number inside two minutes.

What is the minimum order for screen printing?

15 pieces per design. Screen printing has fixed setup work — burning screens and registering the press — that happens whether you order 15 shirts or 500.

Need fewer? Switch the method to DTF in the editor. No minimum, full color, and a single shirt is a normal order.

What does it cost?

Three things move the price: quantity, ink colors, and which blank you pick. More pieces and fewer colors means less per shirt. Screens are a one-time $30 per color, and we keep them on file so reorders skip that charge.

Rather than quote ranges at you, the editor prices your exact job live.

How long does it take?

Standard turnaround is 5–10 business days. Rush runs 24–72 hours depending on the size of the run and what is on the press schedule.

Hard deadline — a game, an opening, a shift change? Put it in the job notes when you order and we will confirm in writing before we produce.

Can you match my exact brand colors?

Yes. We mix plastisol to Pantone (PMS) numbers. Set your ink colors in the editor, and if you have official PMS codes put them in the job notes so we match to those rather than to our best guess.

What file formats do you accept?

Screen printing: PNG only. DTF, embroidery, and sublimation: PNG or JPG.

You upload the file directly in the editor and see it land on the garment immediately, so you know it worked before you order.

Why does screen printing only take PNG?

Because a JPG cannot store a transparent background. It fills transparency with white, and on press that white becomes a printed white box around your design. PNG keeps the background genuinely empty and holds the hard edges each screen needs.

If all you have is a JPG for a screen print job, send it to sales@a1aprintshop.com and our art department will convert it properly.

My artwork is a PDF / AI / EPS / a sketch. Now what?

That is what sales@a1aprintshop.com is for. Send whatever you have — vector files, a PDF, a photo of something drawn on paper — and our art department turns it into a print-ready file.

Once it is ready you will have a PNG you can drop straight into the editor and order like anything else. The email route is for artwork only; ordering still happens in the editor.
