Do you offer volume discounts?

Definitely. The more you order, the lower your per-piece cost. We offer custom pricing for bulk orders, schools, and corporate clients.

What file formats do you accept for artwork?

We prefer vector files like AI, EPS, or SVG, but we can also work with high-res PNGs and JPEGs. If needed, we’ll help convert them.

What shirt brands do you use?

We use quality brands like Gildan, Bella+Canvas, Next Level, and Port & Company. You can also request specific styles or bring your own.

Can you handle detailed logos or small text in embroidery?

Yes — our embroidery machines are capable of high precision. If something won’t stitch clearly, we’ll suggest simple tweaks first.

Do you work with nonprofits, churches, or schools?

Absolutely. We regularly serve schools, churches, fundraisers, and community groups. We offer discounted pricing for qualifying orders.

We require a 24-piece minimum for both screen printing and embroidery orders. This keeps things cost-effective and production-friendly.

Do you offer help with artwork or designs?

Standard turnaround is 5-8 business days after artwork approval. We also offer rush service and same-day printing on select products.

Do you deliver orders in Houston?

Can I bring my own items to print or embroider on?

Yes, we accept customer-supplied apparel as long as it’s new and unwashed. Let us check the materials before confirming the job.

Bulk Order Pricing: What Drives the Cost of Custom Printing

July 16, 2025

Design Complexity & Color Count

More colors mean more print screens, which increase setup fees. Small, simple logos or two-color designs maximize cost-efficiency at scale. Embroidery costs rise with larger stitch counts and intricate details.

Garment Quality & Brand

Premium tees, performance blends, or heavy fleece cost more—but those fabrics ensure longevity and customer comfort. Higher-quality materials may raise per-unit costs but minimize replacements.

Turnaround Time & Order Size

Rush orders incur premiums; larger batches justify bulk pricing. Houston Screen Printing & Embroidery offers pricing tiers based on quantity and schedule, ensuring transparency and savings.
