Apples to Apples


On the surface some shops might seem like they charge less then we do,but do they? When I hear that antother shop is charging less money,I always check to make sure prices are being compared properly. One trick to confuse a buyer into thinking they are getting a better deal is to split up the print or embroidery cost into 2 or more prices . Here is an example,

12 T-shirts cost $4.50 each,
2 color front print cost $2.00each,
The shirt is a dark color so you will pay $.25 per shirt for a flash charge,
And the big cost is screen charges, normally $25.00 per color or $50 total.

Now when you look at the print cost and the shirt cost it looks like your paying $6.50 per shirt. This is the price we are sometimes compared to. But do not forget the other charges that usually end up at the bottom of your quote, the flash charge, and screen charge. When you add these to the overall cost of the order you end up with is a $10.92 shirt.

At Crystal Clear Logos we decided to simplify the process to, a garment charge and a print charge only. We do not hit you with a screen charge, flash charge, handling charge, or a folding charge separately like some companies. So next time you are out pricing around make sure you’re comparing apples to apples and not apples to oranges. If you have any questions feel free to contact us at (925) 778-1912.
