How Much Do Custom T-Shirts Cost in Miami?
The most common question we get, by far, is some version of “how much does it cost to print a shirt?” — and the honest answer is that it depends on quantity, printing method, and design complexity. But “it depends” isn’t a helpful answer when you’re trying to budget a project, so here’s a real breakdown.
Pricing by Printing Method
| Method | Typical Range | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Screen Printing | [X–X– X] per shirt (50+ qty) | Bulk orders, 1–4 colors, lowest cost at volume |
| DTF Printing | [X–X– X] per shirt | Full-color designs, no minimum order |
| DTG Printing | [X–X– X] per shirt | Photo-quality detail, small batches |
| Embroidery | +[X–X– X] over garment cost | Logos, polos, hats — premium durable finish |
Pricing by Quantity
| Quantity | Typical Price Per Shirt |
|---|---|
| Single shirt | [X–X– X] |
| 12–24 shirts | [X–X– X] |
| 50–99 shirts | [X–X– X] |
| 100+ shirts | [X–X– X] |
Why Prices Vary So Much
Setup costs get spread across more shirts as quantity goes up, which is the single biggest driver of per-shirt price. Beyond quantity, the number of colors in a design (for screen printing specifically), the garment quality you choose, and how many print locations you need (front only vs. front and back) all move the price up or down.
If you’re only printing a handful of shirts, it’s also worth knowing that we work with no minimum order requirement, so a small run doesn’t automatically mean a higher per-shirt rate than you’d expect.
Getting an Accurate Quote Fast
The fastest way to get an exact number instead of a range is to call with three things ready: your quantity, your design (or a description of it), and the garment style you’re picturing. We can usually give a firm price on the spot instead of a back-and-forth quote process.
Why Order Local Instead of Online
National online printers quote a price without ever seeing your actual design or garment choice in person, and shipping adds both cost and time. Ordering from a local Miami shop means you can see a physical sample, ask questions face-to-face, and get faster turnaround without shipping delays.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the cheapest way to print custom t-shirts?

It depends on the method — DTF printing has no minimum, while screen printing becomes more cost-effective at higher quantities.
Why is a single shirt more expensive per unit than a bulk order?
Setup and production costs get spread across the full order, so more shirts means a lower cost per piece.
