How Our Pricing Works

At YourShirts, every order is priced based on the garments you choose, the branding method required, and the quantity being ordered.

We believe in transparent pricing and clear advice, so this guide explains how our quotations are built.

With over 16 years of experience and all production completed in-house at our Ipswich workshop, we can recommend the most suitable garments and decoration methods for your business.

1. The Garment Cost

The garment cost is the price of the blank clothing before any branding is added.

What affects garment cost?
  • The product selected
  • The brand
  • The quantity ordered
  • The garment sizes required
  • Supplier availability
A premium polo shirt, heavyweight hoodie and waterproof jacket will all have different base costs before branding is added.

Each garment type is priced according to its own quantity because the purchase cost of each garment is different.

Example:
10 Polo Shirts, 10 Hoodies and 5 T-Shirts would each be priced using the quantity break for that specific garment.
2. The Decoration Cost

The decoration cost is the price of applying your logo, text or design to the garments.

Decoration methods may include
  • Embroidery
  • Screen Printing
  • DTF Printing
  • Digital Transfer Printing
  • Sublimation
What affects decoration cost?
  • Quantity
  • Decoration method
  • Design size
  • Number of logo positions
  • Artwork complexity
Typical decoration positions
  • Left chest
  • Large back
  • Sleeve
  • Right chest
  • Names and numbers
A garment with both a left chest logo and a large back print will have two decoration charges because two separate branding positions are being produced.
3. Mixed Garment Orders & Quantity Pricing

Garments are priced by product, but identical decorations are grouped together across the order.

This is useful when ordering a mixture of T-shirts, hoodies, polos, fleeces or jackets with the same logo.

Example order
Garment Quantity Decoration
Polo Shirts 10 Left Chest Logo
Hoodies 10 Left Chest Logo
T-Shirts 5 Left Chest Logo
Although the garments are priced separately, the decoration quantity becomes 25 identical left chest logos.

This means the decoration benefits from the 25-piece quantity break rather than being charged as three separate runs of 10, 10 and 5.

Why this helps
  • Fairer mixed-garment pricing
  • Better use of quantity breaks
  • Ideal for staff uniform orders
  • Clearer quote breakdowns
4. Product & Decoration Quantity Brackets

Our pricing is based on quantity brackets, so the higher the order quantity, the better the price usually becomes.

We use quantity brackets for both garment pricing and decoration pricing. This helps customers understand why ordering a higher quantity can reduce the unit cost.

Typical quantity brackets
  • 1 item
  • 4+ items
  • 10+ items
  • 25+ items
  • 50+ items
  • 75+ items
  • 100+ items
  • 250+ items

Garment prices are calculated using the relevant product quantity bracket. Decoration prices are calculated using the total number of identical decorations being produced.

Example product quantity savings

As quantities increase, the unit cost of many garments reduces. Different products and brands will vary, but the example below demonstrates how larger quantities can benefit from improved pricing.

Quantity Bracket Approx. Saving vs Single Item
1 item 0%
4+ items 4%
10+ items 9%
25+ items 13%
50+ items 18%
75+ items 22%
100+ items 27%
250+ items 36% +Contact Us
This product example is intended to demonstrate how quantity pricing works. Actual savings will vary depending on the garment, brand, decoration method and order requirements.
The largest reductions are typically seen between low-volume and medium-volume orders. Once larger production volumes are reached, pricing generally becomes more gradual as supplier and manufacturing costs approach their minimum practical levels.
Example decoration quantity savings

Decoration pricing also works in quantity brackets. Rather than charging each garment type separately, we look at the total number of identical decorations being produced.

Total Identical Decorations Approx. Saving vs Single Item Decoration
1 Logo 0%
4+ Logos 5%
10+ Logos 10%
25+ Logos 15%
50+ Logos 20%
75+ Logos 25%
100+ Logos 30%
250+ Logos 35% +Contact Us
Decoration quantities are calculated separately from garment quantities. If the same logo is being applied to multiple garment types, we combine those decoration quantities together to determine the correct decoration pricing bracket.
Example:

10 Polo Shirts with a left chest logo
10 Hoodies with the same left chest logo
5 T-Shirts with the same left chest logo

Whilst the garments are priced individually, the decoration quantity becomes 25 identical logos. This allows the decoration to benefit from the 25+ quantity bracket rather than being charged as three separate decoration runs.
5. Choosing the Right Branding Method

We recommend the method that gives the best finish, durability and value for your garments.

Embroidery

Ideal for polo shirts, fleeces, jackets, softshells, workwear and caps.

Screen Printing

Ideal for larger garment quantities, T-shirts, hoodies, event clothing and promotional clothing.

DTF & Transfer Printing

Ideal for smaller quantities, full colour logos, detailed artwork, individual names and numbers.

Sublimation

Suitable for specialist polyester garments where vibrant, permanent colour reproduction is required.

6. Artwork & Setup Charges

Some artwork needs preparing before it can be professionally produced.

This can include
  • Embroidery digitising
  • Artwork clean-up
  • Vector redraws
  • Print file preparation
  • Production-ready file conversion
If you are supplying artwork generated by AI software, screenshots or low-resolution images, additional artwork charges may apply.
7. Repeat Orders

Repeat orders are usually quicker and simpler once your artwork has already been set up.

Once artwork and embroidery files have been created, we can often use the same setup again on future orders.

Repeat order benefits
  • Quicker quoting
  • Simpler approvals
  • Existing artwork on file
  • Easier staff top-ups

This helps streamline production and keeps repeat ordering straightforward.

8. Samples & Sizing

We strongly recommend checking garment sizes before approving your order.

Customised garments cannot normally be returned due to incorrect sizing, so visiting our showroom can really help.

In our showroom you can compare
  • Quality
  • Fit
  • Fabric weight
  • Colours
  • Branding suitability
Customers are welcome to visit our Ipswich showroom to view garments, compare brands and discuss their project.
9. Why Prices Can Vary

Two orders with the same number of garments can still be priced differently.

Pricing can vary because of
  • Garment brand
  • Decoration method
  • Number of logo positions
  • Stitch count
  • Print size
  • Artwork preparation
  • Personalisation
  • Delivery requirements

This is why we provide tailored quotations rather than using a one-price-fits-all approach.

10. Comparing Quotes Fairly

We are happy to compare quotes, but it needs to be like-for-like.

To compare accurately, we would need to see
  • Exact garment brand
  • Product code
  • Quantity
  • Decoration method
  • Decoration positions
  • Setup charges
  • Delivery costs
  • VAT status
  • Turnaround times
The cheapest quote is not always the best value. Garment quality, decoration method and service all affect the final result.
