Custom screen printing transfers have one compelling pitch: buy the transfers, buy blank shirts, apply them with a heat press, and you own the entire production chain. No print partner middleman. No per-unit fulfillment markup. Just transfers, blanks, and a press. The pitch breaks down fast when you run the actual numbers. Most guides for…
Most guides on how to start a t-shirt business give you the same 10-step checklist. Pick a niche. Make a design. Connect Printful. Set up a Shopify store. Launch. That checklist is not wrong. It is just incomplete in the ways that cost you the most money later. The platform decision gets one paragraph. The…

What you have not found is the actual math: what custom t-shirt screen printing costs at different order sizes, where print on demand undercuts…
Every POD seller hits the same wall. You open an ai design generator, type a prompt, get something that looks incredible on screen, export it, upload it to Printful, and the file gets rejected. Or worse: it gets accepted, printed, and the result looks nothing like the preview. The colors are off. The edges bleed…
