Boxy t-shirt budget reference
100% cotton jersey · standard finish. Compare all supported fabric weights and decoration categories at 50, 100, 250 and 500 bulk pieces of one style in one garment colour. Every figure below is a per-piece reference in USD.
These are budget references, not quotations. Actual pricing is confirmed after an inquiry. Shipping, duties, taxes, custom labels, branded packaging, special setup and revisions are excluded. Bulk prices exclude samples. The sample column is for one garment sample; additional copies and reusable development work are reviewed when quoting.
Print examples: one front placement, 20 × 25 cm, with one colour for screen printing. Embroidery: chest placement, 10 × 10 cm. Combined examples: back print plus chest embroidery. These dimensions illustrate the specification; artwork size, colours and complexity need review and do not have separate fees in this guide.
Planning a boxy t-shirt sample
Use the boxy T-shirt reference for a wider body with a shorter length. Increasing chest width alone does not define a boxy cut: confirm the width-to-length relationship and hem position on your sample. A cropped length, specific sleeve shape or custom neckline still needs a measured specification.
- Specify finished chest width and body length together, including where the hem should sit.
- Confirm shoulder width, sleeve length and sleeve opening rather than copying a regular size label.
- Check the vertical space available for front or back artwork on the shorter body.
Boxy and oversized use the same budget estimate in this calculator, so their price tables match at the same GSM, decoration and quantity. Their intended silhouettes differ; equal reference prices do not mean identical patterns, fabric consumption or final quotations.
How much does a boxy t-shirt cost?
For a 260 GSM boxy t-shirt with one front screen print (20 × 25 cm, one colour), plan about $85 for one sample, with a $60–$115 reference range. At 250 bulk pieces, the estimate is about $18 per piece, with a $14–$21 per-piece range. All figures are USD and follow the exclusions above.
These figures use the same calculation as the tool and tables below. Bulk ranges are a ±20% planning allowance around the unrounded estimate; sample ranges are estimated separately. Neither range guarantees a supplier quote. Review the budget method and limitations before placing an order.
