A Simple Way to Increase Your Margins
A Simple Way to Boost Your Profits
Looking for an easy way to increase profits while offering customers a premium decoration option? Printing over seams and zippers creates a high-end, retail-style look that justifies higher pricing—without adding significant cost.
Turn a $0.50 Cost into Higher Profits
Over-the-seam and zipper prints cost just $0.50 extra per print. That means when ordering 100 shirts, your total print cost is $2.15 per shirt, including the seam surcharge.
Here’s how you make more profit without extra effort:
🔵 Charge your customers $1.00 for this premium effect.
🔵 Earn an additional $0.50 profit per shirt.
🔵 Offer something your competitors don’t.
Take the example above: a one-color imprint with a halftone background and a sleeve seam print. A small detail that adds huge perceived value—one your customers will gladly pay for.
Higher Perceived Value = Higher Margins
For an order of 100 shirts, your print cost is just $2.15 each. But here’s where it gets interesting—you can sell these shirts for $7 each, a price that’s still very reasonable for a premium, custom effect.
🔵 Stand Out from Standard Prints – Offer a high-end, retail-style look.
🔵 Higher Profits, Same Effort – A small upcharge adds significant margin.
🔵 Create More Repeat Business – Customers love unique prints they can’t get elsewhere.
The Twist: Once They Try It, They Won’t Go Back
Once customers experience the difference of over-the-seam printing, they’ll want it again and again. When you offer premium options they can’t find elsewhere, your customers have no reason to look anywhere else.
Let’s help you start offering high-margin prints that keep customers coming back!
Other than T-shirts, this technique can be utilized to decorate the hoodies and zipper hoodies by printing over the seams and zippers. Just like the T-shirts, these garments will now have more dynamic decoration and will be more appealing to the end users.
