"How much does it cost to print custom shirts in Miami?" It's the first question every business owner asks, and most printers answer with "it depends." Here's what it actually depends on, with real numbers.
The 3 Things That Set Your Price
1. Quantity. Printing 500 shirts costs dramatically less per piece than printing 50.
2. Number of colors. A 1-color logo is cheapest. A 4-color design at 72 pieces runs about $3.30 per shirt per location; the same design in 1 color is $2.09.
3. Print method. Screen printing wins at volume. DTG and DTF have no minimums but cost more per piece. Embroidery is priced by stitch count.
Real 2026 Price Ranges (Miami)
Screen printing (per piece, per location): 48 pcs / 1 color ~$2.75 · 72 pcs / 2 colors ~$2.20 · 144 pcs / 3 colors ~$2.20 · 500 pcs / 1 color ~$1.32. Plus one-time screen setup (~$30 per color).
DTG / DTF (per piece, no minimums): Small runs (1–5 pcs) $7–$17 depending on garment color and print size · 48+ pieces $4.50–$10.
Embroidery: ~$6.50 per piece up to 8,000 stitches, 24-piece minimum.
The Hidden Costs to Ask About
Setup/screens, artwork cleanup, the garment itself (separate from printing), and rush fees. Standard production is 7–10 working days.
