The real price of a personalised t-shirt
The price that counts is the one on the last page of checkout, not the one on the thumbnail. Here, there is nothing to add:
- The t-shirt: $23.00, photo and text included, whatever the colour or size.
- Shipping: included, even when it goes straight to the person you are giving it to.
- Minimum order: none. A single t-shirt is printed for you, in Europe, when you order.
- Timing: 5 to 10 working days in the UK, Europe and the US, up to 15 elsewhere, printing and delivery included.
- Preview: instant, no account needed. You see the t-shirt with your photo before you pay anything.
Comparing fairly: five questions to ask
To find out whether a personalised t-shirt really is cheaper somewhere else, compare the same final basket. Five questions are enough:
- Is shipping included? A low price with delivery added at the end can come out higher than a price with shipping built in.
- Is there a minimum order? A low unit price that only applies from several dozen shirts is no use for a gift.
- Is the photo included? Check that the price covers a full-colour photo, not just text.
- Which t-shirt, what weight? Compare like with like: ours is a Gildan 64000 Softstyle in 150 g/m² cotton.
- How long does it really take? A cheap t-shirt that arrives after the birthday is an expensive one.
If an offer wins on all five at once, it really is cheaper. If not, the thumbnail price does not tell you much.
Paying less as a group: the quantity discount
The discount applies on its own in the same basket, even if each t-shirt has a different photo, colour or size: −10% from 10 items, −15% from 25. Products can be mixed (t-shirts, sweatshirts, mugs, tote bags); only frames do not count.
- At 9 t-shirts, add a tenth: 9 t-shirts cost $207.00, and 10 t-shirts cost exactly the same, $207.00, once the discount kicks in. The tenth costs nothing extra.
- Or top up with a mug: 9 t-shirts and a mug come to $230.00, or $207.00 after the discount.
- 12 people: $248.40 instead of $276.00, or $20.70 per t-shirt.
- At 24, go to 25: 24 t-shirts cost $496.80 with −10%, 25 t-shirts cost $488.75 with −15%. The twenty-fifth brings the total down.
- One person orders for the whole group, in a single basket: that is what triggers the discount.
To organise a group (sizes, photos, collecting the money), the guides to t-shirts for a family reunion and a leaving gift with a team photo walk you through it.
What makes a good t-shirt, even a cheap one
A personalised t-shirt that works comes down to three things, and price is not one of them:
- The t-shirt itself: Gildan 64000 Softstyle, 150 g/m², in 9 colours (white, black, navy, heather grey, red, forest green, burgundy, sand, light pink; forest green and light pink are on the Gildan 5000, 180 g/m²).
- The photo: sharp, well lit, with a subject that stands out. The free Remove background (AI) button cuts out the subject, and Make the photo sharper (AI) helps with a photo that is too small. Pointers are in which photos look good on a t-shirt.
- The size: adult sizes only, S to 2XL, no children's sizes. Check the size guide before you order.
- Care: how to wash it is covered in caring for a photo print.
Mistakes that cost you more
- Ordering in several baskets: three orders of 4 t-shirts get no discount; one order of 12 gets −10%.
- Forgetting the code BIENVENUE10 on a first order from €35: it is entered at checkout, once per customer.
- Stopping at 9 or 24: the next basket up costs the same or less.
- Getting the size wrong: a t-shirt that is too small is the only truly expensive one. Check the size guide.
- Picking a blurry photo to save time: the preview shows you the result, so take a moment to look at it.
Prices include shipping, no minimum order. Printed one at a time near the delivery address, delivered in 5 to 10 working days in the UK, Europe and the US, up to 15 elsewhere.
