Budgets & Pricing

How do I get a firm price for a specific quantity?

Short answer

Open the product page, enter your quantity, and check the per-unit price tier shown for it. To lock that price, create an estimate from the product page. You get a PDF quote by email, and pricing is held for 30 days. For custom imprints or quantities above what is listed, request a quote.

  • Prices are per unit and drop at higher quantity tiers.
  • Each product page shows its own minimum and price tiers.
  • An estimate locks your pricing for 30 days.
  • Decoration setup charges are listed separately from the unit price.
  • Ask for a quote if your quantity or imprint is not listed.

A firm price is a price tied to one product, one quantity, one imprint and one set of colors. A "starting at" price is not firm. It is a guide. Changing the quantity, the number of logo colors or the imprint method can change the total.

What goes into the price

Four things usually shape the number you see:

  • Quantity. Prices are per unit and get lower at higher quantity tiers. If you are close to a tier, check the next one. Sometimes a slightly larger order costs less per piece.
  • Minimum order. Minimums are set per product. The product page shows "Minimum order: N pieces," and some items have no minimum. So the answer to "what is the minimum?" is always on that product's page.
  • Decoration. Many imprint methods carry a one-time setup charge. Screen print and pad print charge setup per color. Embroidery has a one-time digitizing fee. The product page lists this under "Setup & Pricing," along with any run charge and the cost of extra colors.
  • Extras. Rush production may add a surcharge. Shipping and sales tax are calculated at checkout.

Why an estimate beats a screenshot

The price on a page can change. An estimate fixes it. On Promogator, an estimate locks pricing for 30 days and arrives as a PDF quote by email and in your account. If you agree, you accept it online with an e-signature. It then becomes an order, and your account manager finalizes it and arranges payment or terms.

The estimate is also easy to share with a boss, a client or a finance team that needs sign-off before you buy.

Common mistakes

  • Comparing unit price only. Compare the total with setup, shipping and tax in mind.
  • Quoting the wrong quantity. Get the number you will really order, not a round guess.
  • Forgetting the date. If you need the items fast, ask for the rush price at the same time.
  • Leaving out colors. The number of logo colors can change setup and run charges.

When the page does not show your quantity

If your quantity is above what is listed, or you want a custom imprint method, request a quote and an account rep will help. If you cannot find the item at all, the team can source it and send an all-in quote for free.

For one-line questions like "minimum and price for 500," the product page gives both. Enter 500 and read the tier. If 500 falls below the minimum, the page will show it.

Step by step

  1. Pick the exact product

    Open the product page for the item and color you want. Note the minimum order shown on the page.

  2. Enter your quantity

    Type the real number you plan to order. Read the per-unit price for that tier and check whether the next tier is cheaper per piece.

  3. Choose imprint and colors

    Select the imprint method and the number of logo colors. Check "Setup & Pricing" for one-time charges.

  4. Create an estimate

    Create the estimate from the product page. You get a PDF quote by email and in your account, with pricing locked for 30 days.

  5. Ask for a quote if needed

    If your quantity or imprint is not listed, request a quote. An account rep will confirm the price.

  6. Accept online

    Accept the estimate with an e-signature. It becomes an order, and your account manager arranges payment or terms.

How do I find out what 250 would cost each?

How long does an estimate stay valid?

Pricing on an estimate is locked for 30 days. The estimate also states its own validity period, and that stated period applies.

Not always. Setup charges appear separately under "Setup & Pricing" on the product page. Shipping and sales tax are calculated at checkout.

Signed-in customers can send the other price with proof through Price Buster. It is reviewed within 24 to 48 hours, and we try to beat it.
