He sank it into a clothing line. He was too ambitious and too arrogant. You should start small. Or focus on fewer designs, or just one design even. Many lines that do work out just start with one popular design and get as much revenue out of it as possible before expanding their line. While I am an advocate in trusting your gut in a lot of scenarios, I would never trust it when it comes to predicting what shirts people will like enough to actually pay for.
You can save tons of money per shirt if you get some shit quality blank shirts and go with the cheapest screen printer you can find, but guess what, your product will suffer! And so will your sales! Do you like a soft cotton, or one that feels like burial cloth? Do you like a quality print on your shirts, with crisp registration and beautiful colors, or something that looks like Stevie Wonder printed it with latex paints?
The screen printer doubles his material and labor costs. The retail shop doubles what they paid you for the shirts. Once, I had a client set on using organic bamboo shirts, which are incredibly nice.
But they cost six times as much blank as a ringspun cotton shirt. I told the client how crazy expensive they would be, and he was happy to use the nice cotton shirt instead. Using nice packaging?

At Vacord, we take huge pride in our Screen Printing and in having really simple pricing, with a basic cost per shirt, without having a ton of fees and add-ons in the invoice.

Between making the screens, setting up the press, and registering a multiple color print, it can take 10 minutes to an hour to get ready to print.
But actually printing goes fast. And then breaking everything down and cleaning up takes a while too. The more we print at a time, the more efficient our time is overall, and that affects the pricing.
Find out what volume discounts the printer has. For example, our minimum is 24, then we have price breaks at 48, , , and shirts. So instead of getting 80 shirts, you might end up saving a dollar or two per shirt if you bump it up to And that helps your margin, which helps profitability.
