Chat GPT Price Recommendation
Standard (Fast Turn / One-offs)
| Tall (max width proportional) | Your est. cost | Suggested price | Gross margin % |
|---|---|---|---|
| 11″ tall | $26.39 | $39 | ~32% |
| 10″ tall | $26.04 | $38 | ~31% |
| 9″ tall | $25.69 | $37 | ~31% |
| 8″ tall | $25.33 | $36 | ~30% |
| 7″ tall | $24.98 | $34 | ~27% |
| 6″ tall | $24.62 | $33 | ~25% |
| 5″ tall | $24.27 | $31 | ~22% |
| 4″ tall | $23.92 | $29 | ~18% |
Notes:
- These prices are competitive for custom one-offs/same-day and keep you ~18–32% margin even with your 30-minute labor assumption.
- If a design weeds slowly (tiny text/islands), add a complexity surcharge +$2–$6 per shirt.
Batch & Save (10+ same art/color, ganged on 15″ roll)
(You can post these as “bulk pricing starts at 10.”)
| Tall (max width proportional) | Suggested price 10–24 | 25–49 | 50+ |
|---|---|---|---|
| 11″ | $28 | $25 | $23 |
| 10″ | $27 | $24 | $22 |
| 8–9″ | $25 | $23 | $21 |
| 6–7″ | $23 | $21 | $19 |
| 4–5″ | $20 | $18 | $16 |
Why these work: batching drops per-shirt labor substantially and width utilization improves; these prices are very competitive locally and online for single-color HTV.

Chat GPT Price Recommendation
Per-sticker, by common sizes (your cost → suggested price → margin):
- 3×3 in — cost $0.72 → $2.50 (qty 1–9) → margin $1.78 / 71%
- 4×4 in — cost $0.82 → $3.00 (qty 1–9) → margin $2.18 / 73%
- 6×6 in — cost $1.12 → $4.50 (qty 1–9) → margin $3.38 / 75%
- 12×12 in — cost $2.72 → $9.00 (qty 1–9) → margin $6.28 / 70%
Quantity price breaks (keep it simple)
| Qty | 3×3 | 4×4 | 6×6 | 12×12 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1–9 | $2.50 | $3.00 | $4.50 | $9.00 |
| 10–49 | $2.25 | $2.75 | $4.25 | $8.50 |
| 50–99 | $2.00 | $2.50 | $3.75 | $8.00 |
| 100+ | $1.90 | $2.35 | $3.40 | $7.50 |
These tiers keep you ~60–75% gross margin across sizes. If a job weeds slower than “easy,” add a complexity surcharge (see below).
Linear decals (e.g., 12″×1″)
Your cost ≈ $2.14/12 = $0.18 materials + $0.58 labor ≈ $0.76.
Suggested price: $2.50 each (1–9), $2.00 (10–49), $1.75 (50+).
Add $0.50 per extra ½″ of height beyond 1″ if the design is long text/lines.
