About structured 6-panel cotton twill cap, 1-color embroidered pricing

Priced per unit with quantity breaks. Vendors quote steps at 48 / 50 / 96 / 100 / 144 / 288 units, and the per-unit rate drops at each break.

Why does embroidery cost more than printing?

Embroidery is priced on stitch count, so a detailed logo runs higher than a screen print. A simplified mark for embroidery often closes the gap.

Are setup fees per order?

Setup should be once per logo and decoration method. Reordering identical art should not trigger a new setup charge.
