T-Shirt Printing Prices in Tanzania: Methods, Quantities, Real Costs

T-shirt printing is the most personal product in the printing trade: a team wants eleven shirts by Saturday, a campaign wants five hundred by month end, and both ask the same question, what will it cost. The honest structure is simple: method first, quantity second. Vinyl suits bold logos and player numbers. Screen printing wins on large runs with few colours. Direct-to-garment handles full-colour artwork on small runs. Each has a different setup cost, which is why quantity moves the price so sharply.

A single custom shirt carries the whole setup on one piece. Fifty shirts spread it thin. Five hundred make the unit price a fraction of the single. That is not pricing trickery; it is how the work actually runs. Where buyers get burned is elsewhere: thin fabric under a heavy print, or methods chosen to save a shilling that crack after three washes.
