    Hi All

    As I have started doing sublimation I am also advertising shirts, I just got an off the cuff enquiry when a customer came to pick his van up and asked for 5 polos with 1 colour front and back. I said £10 each and he said no problem.

    Now looking in to how much it is going to cost me to buy in the 5 polos and the white shirt vinyl there is almost no profit left in it 🙄

    So what’s an average price for a polo like this?

    cheers

    I put them out at £12.99 (inc vat) decorated on 1 side & normally stick on another £2-3 for second side printing.

    Thanks Neil

    Looking further in to it I was thinking £15 for both sides each, I don’t charge vat. so your price is similar so sounds good.

    cheers mate

    If it was cotton/poly cotton polo’s I’d agree with you on the price Warren but with dye sub as Neil says you need to be looking at £15 for a basic profit to print front and back.

    We sell the Vapor or Subli Soft T Shirts at £10 printed front only. £13 front and back and we’re buying them in from BMS at £3.17 for singles.

    Warren, I charge £12.50 normally for subli polo shirts (single side)and between £10 – £12 for teeshirts. I used Subli Supplies the other week for a Vapour tee in ash an it was excellent, colours looked so vibrant for a grey tee.

    Id stay away from subli on single colours where possible.

    Thanks guys, I’m not sublimating these as they are one colour and still need to try a subli shirt as I heard they are not so nice as they obviously have to me mainly polyester which gives the shirt a horrible feel but I have no idea.

    I was recently sent an A4 sheet of easimark vinyl from Victory for cotton shirts but is very thick and after one was at 30 degrees the black looked all cracked.

    thanks for the prices

    cheers

    Warren,

    Ive used only two companies for Subli Tees and both feel fine. The XPres ones feel very heavy and are coated rather than being 100% Polyester so they feel like any other shirt (slightly better imo). The other supplier I used was Subli Supplies and the shirts was grey colour. It wasnt as heavy as the XPres items but still had a reasonable feel to it.

    Polo shirt one side £14 double sided £16
    thats what I charge, sublimation polos would be about the same depending on size of logo etc.
