    Selling online or just selling. Most DIY Design Brand loss money, and by DIY I mean graphic designers who know nothing about fashion.

    If you are thinking about starting your own “I’m cool cause I got this clothing line” here are the simple facts.

    1. An American Apparel (suck a$$) garment cost 4.20 blank
    2. Screens cost $20 - $35 each (each color needs a screen) + films $15
    3. Printing cost approx. 1.05 for 1 color and $2.35 for 6 color
    4. Avg. Screen Print want you to run about 144, but you can get them to run less.
    5. 4 design isn’t a collection it’s a hobby
    6. Woven Labels are about $400 for 5,000 (with setup)
    7. Printed Labels are about $90 for 1,000 (with setup), then $20-$40 for each additional 1,000
    8. Sewing in a Label under the tape $0.50 - $0.80
    9. Sewing in a Label over Tap $0.25 - $0.35
    10. Polyp Bag is $0.10 - $0.15
    11. Size Sticker on Bag $0.05 - $0.10

    So the cost to run one six color design is design, the “right way” is about
    210.00 Screens
    90.00 Films
    604.80 Garments
    334.80 Printing
    12.95 Printed Label
    115.20 Under Tape Labeling
    21.60 Poly Bag
    +shipping
    Total $ 1389.35

    So do the math
