How much DTF costs per metre
The rate is flat: 7.00 € + VAT per linear metre at 60 cm usable width, with no tiers or compulsory bundles. The minimum order is 1 metre and the trade price is shown without VAT, so remember to add the 20 % (UK VAT) before finalising a quote.
For one-off orders or proofs you have A4 sheets from €2.95 and A3 from €4.95, which save you paying for a whole metre when you only need a single design.
Cost per logo is what matters
Price per metre is misleading if you look at it alone. What pays off is the cost per logo, and that depends on how many designs you group onto each metre. The better you use the 60 cm width, the cheaper each piece works out.
An illustrative example: if you place 24 chest logos of 10 x 10 cm on a metre, the metre at 7 € + VAT comes to under €0.30 per logo before VAT. The same logo on its own on A4 costs more per unit, but saves you laying out the sheet.
- Many identical or varied designs: linear metres, maximum efficiency.
- One or two individual pieces: A4 or A3, no sheet to lay out.
- Validate colour before producing: samples from €3.95.
What to add before giving a price
Before finalising the price for the end customer, add VAT (20 %), the shipping for the area and, if applicable, the press time per garment. Shipping to the UK and Europe takes 24-72 h and there is free shipping above a certain amount.
If you need the order the same day, it must be paid for and have the correct file before 12:00. Being clear on this avoids promising deadlines that cannot be met.
