A custom hoodie usually costs between $20 to $50, depending on the quality, printing method, and order size.
The price of custom hoodies depends on a few things: the type of hoodie, how many you order, and the design. Basic hoodies with simple prints cost less, while high-quality hoodies with big or detailed designs cost more.
Ordering in bulk lowers the price per hoodie, and some printing methods are cheaper than others. Knowing these details can help you save money and get the best deal. Let’s go over what affects the cost and how to make smart choices.
To design and print a hoodie, you first pay for a blank hoodie. A basic hoodie costs $10 to $25, while a premium hoodie costs $30 to $60. Then, you add printing costs, which range from $5 to $20 based on the size, colors, and method used.
If you’re buying one hoodie for personal use, the total price is usually $30 to $70. For businesses, teams, or events, bulk orders lower the price to $20 to $40 per hoodie, depending on quantity and design. Extras like custom tags or embroidery add $5 to $15 more per hoodie.
Here are the main factors that change the cost of a hoodie, along with some examples.
The fabric weight (measured in GSM—grams per square meter) and the style of the hoodie affect the price.
Hoodie Type |
Grammage (GSM) |
Use Case |
Blank Price Range |
---|---|---|---|
Lightweight Hoodie |
180–230 GSM |
Great for layering and mild weather |
$20–$30 |
Midweight Hoodie |
240–280 GSM |
Best for everyday wear and giveaways |
$25–$40 |
Heavyweight Hoodie |
300–350 GSM |
Ideal for cold weather and premium looks |
$35–$60 |
Example: A basic Gildan hoodie (around 220 GSM) is good for events and costs about $25 per blank. A premium hoodie (around 330 GSM) like some Nike models can cost $55 or more.
Different brands have different quality and price points.
Brand Type |
Typical Blank Price | Notes |
---|---|---|
Budget Brands (e.g., Gildan) | $20–$30 | Good for bulk orders and basic needs |
Mid-Range Brands (e.g., Bella+Canvas, Next Level) | $30–$45 | Better fit and feel, popular with custom brands |
Premium Brands (e.g., Nike, Champion, AS Colour) | $45–$80 | High quality and trendy, used in retail and sports |
Example: A Bella+Canvas hoodie (around 280 GSM) costs about $35 and is great for startups, while a Champion hoodie (around 300 GSM) might cost $55 and is used by sports teams.
The way you print your design can change the cost a lot.
Printing Method |
Best For | Cost per Hoodie (Approx.) |
---|---|---|
Screen Printing | Bulk orders, simple designs | $4–$8 |
Embroidery | Durable logos, premium look | $8–$15 |
Direct-to-Garment (DTG) | Small orders, full-color designs | $6–$12 |
DTF Transfer | Custom names/numbers | $5–$10 |
Puff Ink / Foil Print | Unique, textured effects | $3–$6 |
Example: For a batch of 50 hoodies, a single-color screen print might add $5 per hoodie. If you choose embroidery for a high-end logo, expect to add around $12 extra per hoodie.
Each additional print spot on the hoodie will increase the cost.
Print Location |
Extra Cost per Hoodie | Notes |
---|---|---|
Front Only | $5-15 (often included) | Standard design placement |
Front + Back | $5-15 each extra | Common for sports or event merchandise |
Sleeve | $5–$10 each extra | Good for extra logos or text |
Inside Tag | $4–$8 each extra | Adds a custom branding touch |
Example: A college hoodie with a front logo only might cost $45 in total, but adding a back print and sleeve design could raise the price to $55–$60 per hoodie.
Ordering more hoodies usually lowers the cost per piece.
Order Size |
Estimated Price Per Hoodie (Total Cost) |
---|---|
1–9 hoodies | $45–$80 each |
10–24 hoodies | $35–$70 each |
25–49 hoodies | $30–$60 each |
50–99 hoodies | $28–$55 each |
100+ hoodies | $25–$50 each |
Example: A small business ordering 15 custom hoodies might pay around $40 each, while a promotional event ordering 250 hoodies might reduce the cost to about $28 each.
Faster delivery costs more.
Production Time |
Extra Cost per Hoodie |
---|---|
Standard (7–14 days) | Free on All Orders Above $100 |
Rush (3–7 days) | $12–$15 |
Express (2–3 days) | $16–$20 |
Example: If you need 50 hoodies in a week instead of two, you might pay an extra $8 per hoodie.
Hoodie prices depend on the fabric, brand, printing method, design spots, order size, extras, and how fast you need them. A simple hoodie with one print can cost around $40–$60 per unit, while a premium, fully customized hoodie with multiple print locations might run $60–$100+.
These figures help you make smart choices—whether you need a few hoodies for your team or a large batch for an event.
Choose the Right Hoodie Style for Your Budget: Not all hoodies cost the same. Pick a style that fits your needs without extra features you don’t need. For example, if you only need a hoodie for casual wear, choose a simple design.
Optimize Design Complexity & Print Placement: Keep your design simple. Fewer colors and print spots (like just on the front) cost less than using many colors or printing on the front and back.
Order in Bulk to Maximize Savings: Buying more hoodies at once can lower the price per hoodie. Many suppliers give discounts for orders of 10, 25, or more.
Plan Ahead to Avoid Rush Fees: Order early to avoid extra fees. When you rush production or shipping, you usually pay more. Planning ahead helps you save money.
Consider Alternative Print Methods for Cost Efficiency: Different printing methods have different costs. Screen printing is cheaper for large orders, while DTG works better for small orders with detailed designs.

Each of these hoodies offers something unique, whether for business branding, personal use, or retail sales. Picking the right one depends on your needs, budget, and printing method.
If you're selling custom hoodies, you need to cover all costs and set a price that ensures profit. Here’s how to do it with realistic numbers based on common hoodie costs.
To calculate total costs, you need to consider:
💡 Example Calculation:
If you buy a midweight blank hoodie for $35, add a single-color screen print for $10, and include $2 for packaging, your total base cost per hoodie is:
✅ $35 (blank) + $10 (print) + $2 (packaging) = $47 per hoodie
Most suppliers offer discounts based on bulk orders:
Order Size |
Estimated Cost Per Hoodie (Blank + Print) |
---|---|
1–9 hoodies | $38–$55 each |
10–24 hoodies | $35–$50 each |
25–49 hoodies | $32–$48 each |
50–99 hoodies | $30–$45 each |
100+ hoodies | $28–$42 each |
💡 Example:
A business ordering 100 hoodies could get each blank for $22 instead of $25, reducing their cost to:
✅ $25 (blank) + $6 (print) + $2 (packaging) = $33 per hoodie
By increasing your order size, you can reduce costs by $3 to $8 per hoodie.
Your selling price should cover costs and leave room for profit. A standard retail markup is 50% to 200%, depending on your target market.
💰 Formula:
✅ Selling Price = Total Cost per Hoodie × Markup
Target Market |
Markup | Final Selling Price (Based on $30 Cost) |
---|---|---|
Budget Brand | 1.5× | $45 |
Mid-Tier Brand | 2× | $60 |
Premium Brand | 2.5–3× | $75–$90 |
💡 Example:
If your cost per hoodie is $30, and you use a 2× markup, your selling price should be:
✅ $30 × 2 = $60 per hoodie
For a premium brand, a 2.5× markup would price the hoodie at $75.
To find out how many hoodies you need to sell to cover your fixed costs (setup fees, marketing, website, etc.), use this formula:
📊 Break-even formula:
✅ Total Fixed Costs ÷ Profit per Hoodie = Hoodies Needed to Sell
💡 Example:
✅ $1,500 ÷ $30 = 50 hoodies needed to break even
If you price the hoodie at $75 instead of $60, your profit per hoodie is $45, so you’d only need to sell 34 hoodies to break even.
Bulk orders lower costs but require upfront investment. Before ordering in large quantities, consider:
✅ Good Time to Bulk Order:
❌ Hold Off on Bulk If:
💡 Example:
A clothing brand testing a new hoodie design might start with 25 hoodies at $45 each, rather than jumping to 250 hoodies right away.
By following these steps, businesses can set a profitable price and reduce costs while ensuring high-quality products. Ordering in bulk, choosing the right markup, and planning ahead can increase profit margins and make hoodie sales more successful.
