Fulfillment Pricing for Apparel Brands
SwagLaunch Fulfillment gives approved brands access to a real apparel production and fulfillment workflow powered by Twisted Swag. This page explains the monthly membership, imprint pricing, fulfillment handling, customer-supplied apparel rules, shipping, storage, and add-on costs so your brand understands what is included and what is billed separately.
Important: The monthly membership gives your brand access to the fulfillment system. It does not include blank garments, printing, embroidery, shipping, storage, rush work, artwork cleanup, custom packaging, returns processing, or special handling. Those items are billed separately based on the actual order.

3. Imprint Pricing When Twisted Swag Provides the Apparel
Use this table when Twisted Swag is providing the garment and decorating it. These examples are designed for fulfillment brands that need clear production costs before shipping and handling.
| Quantity | Starting Price Per Shirt | Included Imprint | Best Production Path |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 shirt | $19.49 each | Full-color imprint, 1 location | DTF, one-off orders, samples, creator tests |
| 12 shirts | $14.94 each | Full-color imprint, 1 location | Small team orders, small launches, urgent group needs |
| 24 shirts | $13.64 each | Full-color imprint, 1 location | Staff shirts, small events, business apparel |
| 50 shirts | $9.00 each | 1-color imprint, 1 location | Screen printing, schools, churches, promos, event shirts |

| 150 shirts | $6.00 each | 1-color imprint, 1 location | High-volume event and organization orders |
Additional colors or print locations are $1.14 each where applicable. Final pricing may change based on garment choice, print size, premium apparel, artwork needs, order complexity, or rush turnaround.
4. Imprint-Only Pricing When You Provide the Apparel
Some fulfillment clients may provide their own apparel. This is handled differently because Twisted Swag is only charging for the imprint, handling, and production labor. Customer-supplied apparel must be reviewed and approved before production.
| Quantity | DTF Imprint-Only Price | Included | Best Fit |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 to 5 pieces | $13.52 per piece | Full-color DTF imprint, 1 standard location | Samples, small drops, single-customer replacement orders |
| 6 to 11 pieces | $11.83 per piece | Full-color DTF imprint, 1 standard location | Small brand runs and early tests |
| 12 to 24 pieces | $10.14 per piece | Full-color DTF imprint, 1 standard location | Small fulfillment batches and launch quantities |
| 25 to 49 pieces | $8.45 per piece | Full-color DTF imprint, 1 standard location | Small campaigns, team apparel, repeat product batches |
| 50 to 99 pieces | $7.19 per piece | Full-color DTF imprint, 1 standard location | Approved larger DTF runs |
| 100+ pieces | $6.34 per piece | Full-color DTF imprint, 1 standard location | Higher-volume approved fulfillment runs |
Standard location means one front, back, or similar standard-size imprint. Oversized prints, specialty placement, difficult fabrics, multiple locations, or rush production may increase the price.
Customer-Supplied Apparel Add-Ons
| Add-On | Price | When It Applies |
|---|---|---|
| Additional DTF print location | $5.50 to $8.45 per piece | Sleeve, back, chest, neck label, or second print area |
| Oversized DTF print | Quoted per job | Large prints, specialty sizing, or unusually large artwork |
| Customer-supplied garment receiving | $0.65 per garment | Counting, checking in, and staging outside apparel |
| Customer-supplied garment sorting | $0.98 per garment | Sorting by size, color, order, SKU, campaign, or customer |
| Misprint or spoilage allowance | Customer must provide extras | Recommended 3% to 5% extra garments for supplied apparel |
Customer-supplied apparel rule: Twisted Swag is not responsible for replacing customer-supplied garments that are defective, mislabeled, heat-sensitive, difficult to decorate, or damaged during normal production risk. Clients should provide extra garments for production allowance.
5. Screen Printing and Batch Production Pricing
Screen printing may be reviewed for orders of 12 or more depending on artwork, quantity, garment choice, print location, timeline, and production method. It is usually the better value when the same design repeats across a larger quantity.
| Qty | Price | Included | Best Use |
|---|---|---|---|
| 12 to 24 pieces | $5.20 per piece | 1-color imprint, 1 location | Simple artwork and approved garments |
| 25 to 49 pieces | $3.90 per piece | 1-color imprint, 1 location | Small batches and repeat designs |
| 50 to 99 pieces | $2.93 per piece | 1-color imprint, 1 location | Group apparel and campaign orders |
| 100 to 149 pieces | $2.44 per piece | 1-color imprint, 1 location | Approved bulk production |
| 150+ pieces | $2.11 per piece | 1-color imprint, 1 location | High-volume accounts and custom quote orders |
Additional colors or additional print locations are $1.14 each where applicable. Screen printing requires artwork approval and may not be the best fit for every fulfillment order.
