3. Deconstructing a T-shirt Sale: The Example

Part 5 • Zero-Risk Profit Margins for a T-shirt

Let's take a concrete example for a standard, high-quality T-shirt (like the Bella+Canvas 3001, as discussed in Module 9).

<ul> <li><strong>Printify Base Cost:</strong> ~$8.90 (This includes the blank shirt itself, the printing, and Printify's fee to the print provider). This cost can vary slightly based on the print provider and current promotions.</li> <li><strong>Your Retail Price:</strong> $25 (A common and profitable price point for a quality T-shirt, as discussed in Module 10).</li> <li><strong>Customer Pays:</strong> The customer pays you $25 for the T-shirt. (Shipping costs are typically added on top of this, paid by the customer.)</li> </ul>
