Price Apparel & Build a Size Run transcript

Now let’s build the apparel portion of a job—and determine what your customer will pay for the garments.

Begin in Settings, under Apparel and Print Pricing Defaults.

Enter your Default Apparel Markup.

This becomes the starting markup whenever you add apparel to a new job. It does not lock the price—you can still adjust any individual garment inside the calculator.

The neighboring Print Markup Calculation controls how decoration is priced. We’ll cover that separately when we configure your production methods.

Return to the calculator and find the Apparel section.

For each garment, enter the style, color, size, quantity, and your unit cost for the blank.

The tool applies your default markup and automatically calculates the unit price for your customer.

If you change the markup, the selling price recalculates.

But if you already know the price you want to charge, enter the Unit Price directly—and the tool will calculate the effective markup for you.

That means you can price from cost and markup—or work backward from a customer price.

Each size, color, or garment variation belongs on its own row.

To build a standard size run quickly, enter the first size and its quantity, then press Enter from the quantity field.

The next row carries forward the style, color, cost, and markup—and advances through the standard sizes from extra small through extra large.

For sizes with an additional blank cost, such as two-X or three-X, add another row and enter the higher unit cost. The selling price updates automatically.

Use Add Apparel whenever you need another style, color, or size.

The tool totals every row into Total Pieces. That combined quantity is what the production calculations will use when selecting the appropriate pricing tiers later.

The apparel unit price represents the garment portion of the customer’s price.

Decoration, shipping, discounts, and tax are calculated separately, then combined on the final Quote or Invoice.

Build the size run once—and the tool carries the correct quantities, costs, and customer pricing through the rest of the job.
