    How Much Do Custom Hoodies Cost?

    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.

    How Much Does It Cost to Design and Print a Custom Hoodie?

    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.

    Factors That Affect Custom Hoodie Pricing

    Here are the main factors that change the cost of a hoodie, along with some examples.

    1. Hoodie Type & Material

    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.

    2. Brand & Quality Levels

    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.

    3. Printing Method & Design Complexity

    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.

    4. Number of Print Locations

    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.

    5. Quantity Ordered & Bulk Discounts

    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.

    6. Turnaround Time & Rush Orders

    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.

    5 Tips for Keeping Custom Hoodie Costs Down

    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.

    How to Calculate Pricing & Profits for Bulk Buyers & Sellers

    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.

    1. Understanding Your Costs

    To calculate total costs, you need to consider:

     

    • Blank Hoodie Price – Mid-range hoodies cost $18 to $35 per unit, depending on the brand.
    • Printing Costs – Typically $4 to $12 per print, depending on the method and number of colors.
    • Additional Costs – Custom labels ($1 to $3 per hoodie), packaging ($1 to $5), and shipping ($1 to $8 per hoodie).

     

    💡 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

    2. Factoring in Bulk Ordering & Discounts

    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.

    3. Setting a Profitable Selling Price

    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.

    4. Measuring Profit & Break-Even Point

    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:

    • Your startup costs (setup fees, website, ads) = $1,500
    • Your profit per hoodie (if selling at $60) = $60 – $30 = $30

     

    ✅ $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.

    5. When to Invest in Bulk Production

    Bulk orders lower costs but require upfront investment. Before ordering in large quantities, consider:

     

    ✅ Good Time to Bulk Order:

     

    • You have an established customer base or repeat buyers.
    • You’re launching seasonal merch (e.g., winter hoodies).
    • You can afford to hold inventory and avoid overproduction.

     

    ❌ Hold Off on Bulk If:

     

    • You’re testing a new design or brand.
    • You lack upfront capital to invest in 100+ hoodies.
    • You don’t have storage space for large inventory.

     

    💡 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.
