💰 Shop Economics

The absolute smallest order you'll accept. Below this, the customer has to pay premium prices.
Whichever threshold hits first — the qty or the dollar amount — that's your minimum.
Not your hourly wage. This is what needs to flow through for overhead, profit, and reinvestment.
Your ideal gross margin when everything goes right. Usually 35–50%.
40%
Below this, you don't bid. This is where the deal stops being worth your time.
25%
What it really costs you to burn, expose, and reclaim one screen. Not what the supply store charges — your actual labor + chemical + waste.
How much upfront before you start production.
50%
You don't know them yet. This is your insurance.
100%

🎨 Method Playbooks

Per impression, per color. (1 color × qty = total color impressions)
Not enabled
You mark up the cost of blank garments by this percentage.
Your fee if the customer provides artwork, or $0 if you handle it as part of art services.
Per piece, for pressing and finishing.
Below this, the setup and waste make it uneconomical.

⚙️ Production Reality

Your actual throughput on a normal day, accounting for changeovers, breaks, and mistakes.
e.g., "6 heads running 40 hours/week" = 240 head-hours per week.
Your actual daily transfer + application capacity.
Your typical promised timeframe. Usually 5–7 business days.
Your "emergency" speed if you bump everything else.
If standard is 7 days, a request with 3 days left triggers rush pricing.
How much cleanup is included before you charge by the hour.
What you charge after free time expires.

🧬 Commercial DNA

If customer brings their own blanks or blanks from another supplier.
E.g., 24 pcs = 5% off, 48 = 10% off
Discount for customers reordering the exact same design.
E.g., "Inside tag printing", "Sleeve hit", "Bag + tissue", "Custom hang tags"
