Explanation of price list:
To calculate the square inches of your design, measure the height and width of your design and multiply the two numbers. Ex. A design with a height of 8”
and a width of 10”, the square inches would be 80”. The average left chest logo is 4”x4” = 16sq in.
1st Print Location
Every garment is charged the first location print price for at least one imprint; if there is only one imprint then that will be your primary pricing.
