    Costing workwear with HTV

    Hi guys, I am starting to do a bit more workwear with HTV.
    Does anyone else here do that?

    I'm wondering how you guys work out your costings. I have a pricing formula I use for other things,
    but wondering how others cost their workwear especially when larger amounts and front back prints are involved.

    Hopefully this is the correct section for this question, I couldn't find a thread with similar on it.

    Cheers in advance.
    Paul.

    Workwear is competitive but what you have to remember is that in most cases the customer will come back time and time again - if the price is right. Once the logo is on file it is relatively easy to do another batch so don't over price. If your customer is a one man band who wants 1 hoody and 3 polo shirts charge your usual price. For bigger customers don't underprice but don't treat them as a one off customer either.

    For regular customers who have a few staff I usualy charge £2 for the front print and £4 for the back print (one colour, A4ish - max 23x30cm), which is my regular price for 50 - 100 garments. They probably don't order 50 at a time but over a year they probably do.
    That way I can sell a printed t-shirt for £10 and a polo for £12 and keep a hoody below £20.

    One thing I will advise is charge an extra £2 for a web/email address. They are a pain to weed and often have more letters to weed than a large logo.
    Beware of p@ss takers. Some will want a massive amount of text, landline, mobile, web and email. Limit them to name/logo, strapline and one phone number.

    Brilliant, thanks for the advice.

    I have seen a lot of places doing them and used them as a comparison.
    I have a few friends where I do their workwear for their business', so I don't want to overprice them as I do want them to keep using me, and at the same time I don't want to under price myself and not make enough, but also looking to expand on that, and that were I am roughly with it.

    Do you also add on extra for your t-shirts, hoody or have a base price and then add on the print cost?

    Do you also do embroidery, if so are your prices about the same?

    Cheers

    I have a slidding scale for garments. 1 - 9 items are priced at full retail and after that I give quantity discount, up to about 35% for higher volumes (200+).
    Usually charge smaller trade customers the discount price for 20+ garments, and larger customers the price for 50+, even if they have less. It usually works out over the year in my favour.
    (retail price is usually 2.4 times the wholesale price, giving a 50% margin on garments. So a £2+ vat t-shirt is £4.80)

    Thanks for the info.
    I've definitely got a few things to work out, and this helps a lot. Thanks.
