After selling 100 shirts you have already more than covered the cost of a heat press. All while increasing your profit margins SIGNIFICANTLY! Tag a brand you KNOW can sell 100 shirts.
Consider this common scenario. You buy 50 shirts with a full color design wholesale at $15 a unit and you sell out for $30 each. You just PROFITED $750. Now imagine owning your own equipment and making the SAME shirts yourself. Now each shirt cost $6.50. You just PROFITED $1175.
In fact the heat press I’ve been running my companies off of for the past 7 years, is the Stahls Hotronix 15x15 Auto Clam Press and it only cost me about $1500
Included in those wholesale prices are also the EXPENSES of the screen printing company. Such as equipment cost, location cost, power bills, internet, insurance etc.. but the 2 largest cost of them all is LABOR COST for the employees and the profit margins for the business owner.
And no I’m not talking about vinyl and Cricut. I’m talking about traditional screen printing, Full Color DTF prints, puff inks, metallic inks, glitter inks, rhinestones, EMBROIDERED PATCHES pretty much everything you see on the market can be done with a HEAT PRESS!
Now this is the crazy part because of ever evolving technology you can decorate just about any garment with a HEAT PRESS and professional grade transfers! And there’s 100s of companies making them!
