What is the minimum quantity for reorders?
The minimum quantity for reorders is the same as the original minimum quantity for the print method on that product. This means that the minimum for screen printing is six pieces, the minimum for embroidery is six pieces, and digital printing has no minimums. The reason for this is the same as the reason for minimum quantity is with the original order. Those reasons include:
The Cost-Effectiveness of the Print
We have to have minimums so that the pricing for all of the setup and preparation before the print can be defrayed across multiple quantities. If we screenprinted one t-shirt, it could cost well over $100 for that t-shirt. We don't want you to think were crazy if we quoted that amount. So we don't offer screen printed singles.
Major Time Consumption
Much of the time spent printing t-shirts is actually in the setup and preparation beforehand. This cost is significantly lower when the volume of t-shirts increases for the print.
The pricing and minimum quantities have dropped over the years significantly as the technology and equipment has improved. Hopefully that trend will continue in the future and we will be able to offer no minimums for high quality screen printing and embroidery.
One would like to believe that the relatively new technology of digital printing can one day mash up with screen printing and offer a high quality hybrid of sorts. Where the inks are as strong as screen printing inks but are as easy to apply as digital printing.
