Priced per unit with quantity breaks. Vendors quote steps at 1 / 12 / 24 / 48 / 72 / 144 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.
