A great many factors can make our price higher or lower than a price you receive form another screen printing company. We use a tried and proven method of calculating our prices that gives the customer a great value while allowing us to maintain our company. Very often, when our price differs significantly from a competitor, we are not quoting on the same thing. Make sure that both parties are giving you the same garment and the same printing. If their price is still significantly lower you want to pay close attention to the following:

• Make sure that they are offering the same brand and weight of shirt or one of equal quality. Not all screen printers will automatically give you the best garment for your money. Some may even use "seconds".
• Make sure that they have included all charges in the quote. Often, you will be hit with a confusing array of charges that must be added on before you get a final price.
• Ask for a sample of their work. This allows you to see the quality of their print and also tests their customer service commitment. Service, after all, is what sets a company apart.
• Ask for references. See if their clients are happy with the company.
• Make sure you are working with a reputable company. Someone printing in their garage may be cheaper, but they can't offer the service or quality that we can.

Our price could be much lower for several reasons:

• The other company may have a sudo-monopoly in a small town.
• They could have much higher overhead in a big city.
• You might be working with a middle man that pays someone else to print the order and passes on the cost - plus mark-up - to you.
• Smaller printers often use manual equipment that requires significantly more labor to produce the same product
