Five Ways to Save on your next merch order.

 

1) Color me Curious: the amount of ink colors involved in your design increase the cost of your shirt, so you may want to consider a one or two color design versus chasing the rainbow! If you’re curious about how much it costs to add extra colors, just ask your sales rep!

2) Gather the Troops: quantity of order determines a lot when it comes to the cost of your item, so make sure and account for everyone who is involved in your organization. Add some extras in if you anticipate any changes in sizes or participants. Ask your sales rep about quantity discounts, so you can know where your next price break will happen. Sometimes it can be more cost effective to order a few extras to hit that price break!

 

3) Quality concerns: Trust us, at Skyline, the quality of your print will be the same high standard every time. However, the quality of your garment can vary drastically and that causes the cost to vary quite a bit too! Our reps know the brands better than most, so check with them if quality is a concern. They can point you in the direction of something that is economical and quality to fit your needs!

 

 

4) Pick your Placement: the placement of designs has some bearing on your overall cost. As you add placements (front, back, sleeve), the price goes up. This is because the shirt gets loaded on the press and printed by hand for each placement on the shirt, which ultimately adds to labor cost. If price is a main concern, consider only having a front or back print to reduce cost!

 

5) Ask and ye shall receive: make your request known AKA let your sales rep know that cost is your main concern. We love helping people find the right garment and price point for their event and we are skilled at working with all budget sizes. Let us know what you need and we can make it happen!
