We are using a t-shirt with the picture below as an example -
Fabric type : cotton 160 GSM | Round-neck
Cost Break-down
Raw material : $0.65 to $0.85
Making cost : $0.50 to $0.65
Printing : $0.20 to $0.35
Trims : $0.05 to $0.10
Total : $1.4 to $1.95
So the total production price for this t-shirt is always going to be under $2
Now if you are looking to buy just 20,000 pcs of this t-shirt (in different prints but same design) and the factory overhead (fixed cost) is $5,000 per month spread across two months of production time:
then the total overhead cost would $10,000
Overhead costs per t-shirt would come out to be around $0.50. So the total cost including overheads in this case would be $2.5.
Assuming a 10% -15% margin for the supplier - this would put this t-shirt costs between $2.75 to $2.90 per unit at 20,000 pcs - which is great if you are retailing at $20 per unit or higher.
