The amount you should pay someone to print your design on 50 T-shirts depends on several

factors, including:

1. Type of printing method (screen printing, DTG/direct-to-garment, heat transfer, etc.)


2. Number of colors in your design
3. Size and placement of the design (front only, front and back, sleeve, etc.)
4. Location and market prices (costs vary widely by region)

Typical Price Range (Per Shirt for Printing Only):

 Screen Printing (best for bulk):


o $1.50 to $5 per shirt depending on the number of colors and setup.
 DTG (Direct to Garment):
o $3 to $7 per shirt, good for small batches and complex designs.
 Heat Transfer/Vinyl:
o $2 to $6 per shirt, depending on design complexity.

Example Estimate:

Let’s say your design is:

 1 color
 Front side only
 Using screen printing

In this case, a reasonable price to pay per shirt might be around $2–$3 just for the printing.

So:

 50 shirts × $2.50 = $125 total

If your design is more complex (multi-color or front and back), expect to pay more.

Would you like help negotiating or drafting a simple deal/contract with the printer?
If you only want to print 1 T-shirt, the cost per shirt will be much higher because:

 Screen printing requires setup (screens, alignment, etc.), which isn’t cost-effective for 1
piece.
 Printers typically charge a setup fee ($10–$30 or more), even for one shirt.

Your Best Options:

1. Direct-to-Garment (DTG) Printing

 Ideal for one-off prints.


 Cost: $10–$20 per shirt (including printing only, since you’re supplying the shirt).
 No setup fees usually.

2. Heat Transfer or Vinyl

 Also suitable for small runs.


 Cost: $8–$15 for a single shirt.
 Simple one-color designs are cheaper.

Summary Estimate:

 DTG or heat press for 1 shirt (you bring the T-shirt):


You’ll likely pay $10–$15.

If you're printing in Africa—especially in countries like Nigeria, Cameroon, Ghana, Kenya,
etc.—you’ll generally pay less than in Western countries due to lower labor and overhead costs.

Estimated Printing Costs in Africa (You Supply the 50 T-Shirts):

For Front and Back Printing:

 Screen Printing (1–2 colors):


👉 $1.50 – $3.00 per shirt
 Heat Transfer or Vinyl (used for small shops or colorful logos):
👉 $2.00 – $3.50 per shirt
 DTG Printing (less common and more expensive):
👉 $4.00 – $6.00 per shirt

Local Estimate:

Let’s say you go with screen printing, 2-color design, front and back in a city like Douala,
Cameroon:

 Expected cost: ≈ $2.50 per shirt


 Total: 50 × $2.50 = $125

Factors That Affect Cost:

 Number of colors (more colors = more screens = higher price)


 Size of the print (larger prints cost more)
 If the printer provides discounts for bulk
 Whether they charge a one-time setup fee ($10–$20)
