The cost of a custom hoodie from Custom Ink varies widely based on the specific garment, decoration method, and order volume. Their pricing is all-inclusive, meaning the quote you see covers the garment, the decoration, and standard shipping.
Price Ranges by Order Volume
The most significant factor is quantity. The prices listed on product pages (like “$46.20/ea for 500 items”) represent the per-piece cost at the highest volume tier shown, which is the lowest possible unit price.
| Product Category | Example Per-Unit Price (at 500 qty) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Sustainable Hoodies | $29.05 – $70.50 | Range across different brands and styles |
| Embroidered Sweatshirts | $28.55 – $121.85 | Wide variance based on the blank’s brand and quality |
| Champion Hoodies | $20 – $60 | Custom Ink characterizes Champion as “mid-range” |
For smaller orders, you will pay a higher per-piece price. Custom Ink’s live pricing tool in their “Design Lab” adjusts the quote in real time as you change the quantity.
Key Factors That Determine Your Price
Custom Ink’s pricing is driven by three primary variables:
- The Garment: The specific brand and style of the hoodie you select. A basic Gildan will be far cheaper than a premium brand like Patagonia or a sustainable Stanley/Stella option.
- The Decoration: The number of colors in your design and the application method. Screen printing and digital printing are standard, while embroidery may carry different costs depending on stitch count.
- The Quantity: The single biggest lever. As your order size increases, the per-unit cost drops significantly.
Minimum Order Quantities
Custom Ink has varying minimums. While some categories, like “No Minimum Embroidered Sweatshirts,” are explicitly labeled as having no minimum, other product pages for hoodies and sustainable sweatshirts list a minimum quantity of 6.
The most accurate way to get a specific price is to use Custom Ink’s online Design Lab. You can select your exact hoodie style, upload your artwork, and input your desired quantity to see the final, all-inclusive price before committing.
