Printing on the front, back and sleeves: how does it work?

Every print spot on a garment is priced on its own, with the method that suits it. A common combo is an embroidered left-chest logo, a big screen printed back and a small sleeve print. A second one-color screen print spot adds about $3.50 per shirt at 24 pieces and $1.75 at 144, plus its $25 screen.
