Money Saving Tips | Yes We Print
At Yes We Print.com, we’re passionate about helping you create amazing custom products without overspending. Whether you’re printing shirts, hoodies, aprons, tote bags, or hats, these simple and practical money‑saving tips will help you make the most of your order — while keeping your quality high and your costs low.
1. Order in Bulk and Save More
The easiest way to lower your cost per item is to order in larger quantities. Our bulk pricing means the more you order, the less you pay per piece — especially for screen printing and embroidery orders.
💡
Pro Tip: Combine your team, club, or family orders into one bulk order to unlock the biggest discounts.
2. Combine Items to Reach Free Shipping
We offer free shipping on all orders over $100, making it easy to save by grouping your items together. Instead of placing multiple small orders, simply combine them into one larger order and enjoy fast, free delivery.
🧾
Example: Add a few tote bags or aprons to your hoodie order — you’ll hit the free shipping threshold and keep more money in your pocket.
3. Simplify Your Design for Screen Printing
If you’re ordering screen‑printed apparel, keeping your design simple can go a long way. Each ink color requires a new screen setup, so reducing the number of colors helps cut down production costs.
🎨
Tip: One‑color prints often look bold, professional, and clean — all while saving you setup fees.
4. Use DTG Printing for Small or Full‑Color Orders
DTG (Direct‑to‑Garment) printing is perfect for small runs or when you need detailed, full‑color artwork. It doesn’t require any screen setup, which means no extra costs for short orders or colourful designs.
👕
Great for: One‑off gifts, family events, or high‑detail designs with gradients and photos.
5. Save with Sublimation Printing
Sublimation printing offers bright, long‑lasting results at an affordable price — especially for polyester items like shirts, aprons, and tote bags. Because it doesn’t require setup screens, you can print unlimited colours without paying extra fees.
🌈
Pro Tip: Sublimation is your best value for full‑color prints on light‑coloured polyester fabrics — durable, fade‑resistant, and cost‑effective.
6. Mix and Match Printing Methods
Choosing the right print method helps you get the best results for your project and budget. Here’s a quick guide:
- Screen Printing: Bulk orders, simple logos — lowest cost per piece on high quantities.
- DTG Printing: Small runs, full‑colour art — no setup fees for short batches.
- Sublimation: Polyester apparel, vivid prints — unlimited colours, no screens required.
- Embroidery: Premium branding — long‑lasting results, great long‑term value.
👕
Matching your printing method to your design ensures you get great quality while maximizing your savings.
7. Reuse Your Artwork and Designs
Once your design is created, we’ll keep it on file for easy re‑ordering. You can reuse your artwork anytime — no additional setup fees, no new proofs, just consistent, affordable results.
💡
Reusing designs for recurring events, branding, or promotions is one of the easiest ways to save over time.
8. Choose Standard Apparel Colors
When selecting your products, stick to classic, widely available colours like black, white, grey, or navy. These options are typically more affordable and readily in stock, which helps avoid additional costs.
🩶
Neutral colours also stay in style longer and pair well with a variety of print designs.
9. Proof Carefully Before Printing
Before approving your final design, take a moment to review your proofs and order details carefully. Catching typos, colour issues, or alignment errors early helps you avoid costly re‑prints later.
✅
Our team is always here to help review your proofs and ensure your order turns out perfectly the first time.
10. Plan Ahead to Avoid Rush Fees
Placing your order early can save you from paying expedited production or shipping fees. We recommend allowing 7‑10 business days for standard production whenever possible.
⏰
Tip: Planning ahead ensures the best prices, smooth processing, and on‑time delivery.
