I printed shirts in college. The technique they are using is poly ink, white base, with colors over the top. Standard Hanes T. I promise you, all total, the shirts cost no more than $8. For what they charge(~$30/shirt) they should be printing on AmericanApparel style shirts, using discharge for the whites, and water-based inks instead of the "chest plaques" they currently use. The benefit would be a much softer hand for the shirt, and MUCH greater durability through multiple washes. If they followed such techniques, their price might go up around $5-6 total. For a base cost of close to $15. If you guys can't make profite on a 100% markup, then you suck badly at your jobs. Keeping in mind, all these figures were based off my knowledge of making between 50-100 shirts per order. I'm sure at the quantities they are purchasing, all prices are HIGHLY overestimated. Total trash. Would NEVER order from them again. I could probably go to a local printer and have a one-off made for around the same price but of better quality
We're sorry for any confusion, here's a little more information about how our site works:
Teespring provides a free platform where individuals create and sell custom products through a campaign process. After the sellers upload their work, they choose the time-frame of availability, their selling price, their goal to meet and the color/style options available for purchase. When a Teespring campaign is created, the seller is asked to choose a selling price for a product. The selling price is a combination of the base cost (i. E. printing cost + garment cost + production cost) and the profit that the seller wants to earn per item. When an item is sold, the seller keeps the profit. We hope this helps give a better understanding of Teespring, please reach out to Support Services with any additional questions: http://teespring.force.com/NewCase?l=en_US Thank you.
