Other expenses may include screen fees otherwise known as set-up or art prep fees. These can all add up to your overall cost and should be considered when pricing out jobs or shopping for different rates for your project. Artwork fees are another expense that are often not thought about. Another large expense can be shipping and fulfillment costs. If you are ordering your shirts direct from a supplier, you will need to ship the goods to your printer and perhaps ship them again to you or your customers. Make sure you consider all shipping and transit costs when pricing your apparel for merchandise production.
