6 Key Factors
What Affects Your Price
Fabric Weight & Type
Heavier fabrics (500+ GSM) cost more. Organic and certified materials have a premium over conventional. Custom fabric development is available for larger orders.
Order Quantity
Larger orders reduce per-unit cost. MOQ is 50 units per style per colour. Best pricing starts at 200+ units.
Decoration Complexity
Simple one-colour screen print vs. multi-position embroidery vs. all-over sublimation. Each technique has different setup and per-unit costs.
Garment Construction
Standard construction vs. speciality sewing (run-stitch, double-layered, custom panels). More complex construction means higher cost.
Finishing & Washing
Garment dyeing, acid wash, stone wash, enzyme wash — specialty finishes add €2–8 per unit depending on the process.
Packaging & Labels
Woven labels, hangtags, custom polybags, tissue paper, branded boxes — packaging can range from €0.50 to €3+ per unit.
