Branded t-shirts for companies: what they cost and how to choose
A t-shirt with your logo costs from CHF 1.95 per unit, with branding included. Branded t-shirts for a trade show are not the same as the ones your team will wear every week or the ones you want to give away. Here you can see today’s prices, real examples for the most common uses and the key points to check before you order: fabric, weight, branding method and logo position.
How much does a branded t-shirt cost?
Price per unit with your one-colour logo in the standard position, excluding VAT and delivery. The unit price goes down as quantity increases because the branding setup is spread across more garments.

For trade shows, volunteering and one-day events
When you need to hand out lots of t-shirts, keeping the cost per garment under control matters, and so does making sure the logo stands out from a distance. In the Essential range, lightweight cotton styles and technical polyester t-shirts work well, with one-colour screen printing or digital transfer for designs with more colour.
If the event is outdoors, avoid bright white: it gets dirty more quickly and can show through. On dark t-shirts, a light screen-printed logo often needs a white base; DTF keeps fine text and gradients clearer when there is more detail in the design.
TITAN T-SHIRT 150gr Screen Printing From CHF 1.95 with your logo 
REGENT Uni T-shirt 150g Screen Printing From CHF 3.25 with your logo For your team and new starters
For a t-shirt people will actually wear in the office, shop or warehouse, it is worth moving up to a fabric with a better feel and finish. The Plus range is a good middle ground: combed or recycled cotton, medium weight and more flattering cuts for a small embroidered chest logo or discreet screen printing.
A common mistake is fixing sizes too early or ordering almost everything in one size. You can give the total first and split it later using the size guide for each style; also check whether there is a women’s fit. If you want something smarter, look at our branded polo shirts.

MONARCH WOMEN T-SHIRT Screen Printing From CHF 4.60 with your logo For gifts and a more premium branded garment
If you want a t-shirt people will wear outside work, fabric and fit matter most. In the Premium range you will find heavyweight, organic or recycled styles and more refined options, where embroidery or a small screen print makes the garment look like retail rather than event wear.
For this use, a huge chest logo usually works against you and ends up with the t-shirt left in a drawer. A small brand mark on the chest, sleeve or back neck works better, with a second position only if it adds something. To complete the set, you can pair it with branded hoodies in the same quote.

| Combed or heavyweight cotton | Embroidery | A small raised thread logo, more subtle and durable in the wash |
| Light technical polyester | Sublimation | The colour goes into the fibre, adds no feel and does not crack |
| T-shirts with full-colour designs | Digital transfer (DTF) | Keeps gradients, photographs and fine lettering clear, including on dark garments |
