The price of your Spreadshirt product is made up of the product price (e.g. a T-shirt), the printing costs and, if applicable, a design price. The design price only applies to community designs. It does not apply when you add your own text, upload your own designs or use designs marked as “free”.
You can find information about embroidery here.
How printing costs are calculated
Every product has at least one print area that you can personalise with designs and text. A standard printing fee applies to each print area you use (see example calculation). Within each print area, you can add as many designs and lines of text as you like at no extra cost – you only pay the standard printing fee once per area.
Most clothing items can be printed on several areas, usually the front, back and sleeves (or the hood on hoodies). Each additional print area is charged at the standard printing fee.
Design prices for community designs
In the Customise Tool, you’ll find free designs as well as designs created by independent designers. Designs by independent designers have a fixed design price, which goes directly to the designer (see example calculation). If you use the same community design several times on one product, you’ll only be charged for it once. The design price is shown in the Customise Tool.
Example calculation
Here you can see how much a Men’s Premium T-Shirt with two print areas – one with a free design and one with a community design – would cost in the Customise Tool.
