Screen printing has lower per-piece cost at volume; DTG (direct-to-garment) has zero setup and shines at small qty. The break-even point gets debated a lot — here are real numbers from our facility.
Screen print: $120 setup + (25 × $4.50/print) = $232.50 total = $9.30/piece print cost. DTG: 25 × $6.50 = $162.50 total = $6.50/piece. **DTG wins by $2.80/piece** at this volume — setup amortization is brutal.
Screen print: $120 + (100 × $3.25) = $445 = $4.45/piece. DTG: 100 × $6.50 = $650 = $6.50/piece. **Screen print wins by $2.05/piece** — the break-even hits around 50 pieces.
Screen print: $120 + (500 × $2.10) = $1170 = $2.34/piece. DTG: 500 × $5.75 (volume discount) = $2875 = $5.75/piece. **Screen print wins by $3.41/piece** = $1705 saved.
