One hundred shirts, one color, one location, screens included, $599. Build it in the editor and see the whole thing — garment, print size, size breakdown — before you pay.
Start the 100-for-$599 order and the deal applies automatically at checkout.
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.
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.
No phone calls. No paper forms. No guessing. Start your order and you will have a real price in about two minutes.
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.
The editor accepts image files directly. Which formats depend on the method, because the methods need different things from your file.
| Method | Accepted files | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Screen printing | PNG only | Needs a transparent background and hard edges so each ink color separates cleanly onto its own screen. |
| DTF / full color | PNG or JPG | Prints full color, so a flat photographic file works. PNG still preferred if you want a transparent background. |
| Embroidery | PNG or JPG | We convert your image to a stitch file, so either works. Clean, high contrast art stitches best. |
| Sublimation | PNG or JPG | Full 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
