How Much Does Bulk Screen Printing Cost in Miami?
Miami Market Check · updated Q3 2026. Each quarter we review published rates and written quotes from screen printers across South Florida, so you can budget against what the market actually charges — and sanity-check any quote you're holding, including ours.
In the Miami market, a one-color run on a standard cotton tee typically lands between $6.50 and $9 per shirt at 200 pieces, garment included. At 500 pieces the Miami market range is roughly $5 to $7 per shirt, and 1,000-piece runs usually come in between $4 and $6. Past 5,000 pieces, most South Florida shops price under $4.50 per shirt, garment included. Those are market benchmarks, not an ONYX price list — we quote every job on its exact specs and put the number in writing within one business day.
The savings curve is the part of pricing that behaves the same at every shop, because the economics behind it are fixed: screens, setup, and press time cost the same whether the run is 200 pieces or 10,000, so every added shirt spreads them thinner. Here's how the tiers typically compare.
| Run size | Typical per-shirt savings vs. a 200-piece run | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| 200 – 499 | Baseline — setup is spread across the fewest shirts | Team gear, events, company merch |
| 500 – 999 | Typically 15–20% less per shirt | Schools, festivals, retail drops |
| 1,000 – 4,999 | Typically 30–35% less per shirt | Corporate programs, multi-location rollouts |
| 5,000+ | Typically 40% less or more — the garment becomes most of the invoice | Stadium giveaways, licensed merch, large campaigns |
Four levers set your exact number. Quantity is the biggest, for the reason above. Each additional ink color adds roughly 10 to 20 percent per shirt at bulk quantities — another screen, another setup, another pass on press. Garment class moves the total more than most buyers expect: blanks are usually 50 to 60 percent of a 500-piece invoice, and a heavyweight hoodie can cost three to four times a standard tee before ink ever touches it. Deadline matters last — standard turnaround holds pricing steady, and genuine rush work is quoted as its own line. We've produced 8,000-plus pieces in three days when the job demanded it.
Every ONYX quote is line-itemized: your garments at our S&S Activewear and SanMar pricing, screens per color, the per-piece print rate, and any finishing — nothing bundled, nothing that appears after you approve. Send your artwork, quantities, sizes, and deadline and you'll have a locked quote within one business day; the number we send is the number you pay. Holding a written quote from another shop? Send that too — we'll price the identical job line for line and tell you straight whether the number you have is fair.
Bulk programs start at 200 pieces — the same floor across screen printing, embroidery, and DTF. Tri-blends, heavyweight garments, and specialty inks quoted at order time.
Turnaround You Can Plan Around
Standard bulk orders ship in 5–7 business days from art approval.

Bulk Printing Questions, Answered
How much does bulk screen printing cost per shirt?
In the Miami market, bulk screen printing typically runs $6.50 to $9 per shirt at 200 pieces and falls below $4.50 per shirt at 5,000-plus pieces, for a one-color print on a standard cotton tee with the garment included. Those are market benchmarks, not an ONYX quote — quantity, ink colors, and garment class set your exact number, and we put it in writing within one business day.
Why is bulk screen printing cheaper per shirt?
Because screens, setup, and press time are fixed costs: they cost the same whether the run is 200 pieces or 10,000, so every added shirt spreads them thinner. That's why 1,000-piece runs typically price 30–35 percent below a 200-piece run per shirt, and why past 5,000 pieces the garment itself becomes most of the invoice.
How much does each ink color add to the price?
At bulk quantities, each additional ink color typically adds 10 to 20 percent per shirt — every color needs its own screen, setup, and pass on the press. Screens appear as their own line on every ONYX quote, never folded into the per-piece rate.
What is the minimum order for bulk pricing?
Our B2B programs start at 200 pieces — the same floor across screen printing, embroidery, and DTF, whether we supply the garments or you do. Smaller runs and same-day DTF are available through our retail counters at either Miami location.
How fast can you produce a large order?
Standard bulk turnaround is 5–7 business days from art approval. Our proven rush record is 8,000+ pieces in 3 days, produced for the FIFA World Cup 2026 Private Clubs program across our two Miami facilities.
Do you supply the blank shirts, or do I?
Either. We source blanks through S&S Activewear and SanMar at wholesale — tees, fleece, polos, hats — or you can supply your own garments through our contract printing program.
Do you print for other print shops and promo distributors?
Yes. We run overflow and contract production for fellow printers, promo distributors, and agencies — with blind shipping, your neck labels, and your branding on every box. Details and trade pricing are on our contract screen printing page.
Where are you located?
Two Miami locations: 95 Merrick Way, Suite 340, Coral Gables, FL 33134 and 2198 NW 82nd Ave, Doral, FL 33122. Open Monday–Friday, 9:00 AM–5:30 PM. Local pickup is available at both.
