A hoodie’s price per piece is set by its style, the fabric and its weight, the trims, the quantity per style, the colours, the decoration and the packing. Hoodies carry more of each than a T-shirt does, so the white label hoodie cost factors are worth understanding before you request a quotation, because small choices across a whole order add up.
We quote every hoodie order per style, by fabric, quantity and branding. There is no standard price list, because two hoodie orders that look alike in an email can be very different once fabric weight, trims and decoration are settled. Here is what each factor does.
The garment
Style
Our four styles differ in fabric use and construction.
| Style | What affects its cost |
|---|---|
| Crewneck sweatshirt | No hood, no pocket, fewest parts |
| Pullover hoodie | Adds a hood and a kangaroo pocket |
| Zip hoodie | Adds a hood and a full-length zip, with a split front to sew |
| Oversized fit | More fabric in the body and sleeves, dropped shoulder |
A crewneck is the simplest of the four. A zip hoodie has the most construction. An oversized cut uses more fabric because the volume is the point of the style.
Fabric and weight
Every style comes in cotton fleece or French terry. The two are priced differently, and within each, heavier fabric costs more than lighter fabric. Weight is also one of the things buyers notice first, so it is worth choosing deliberately rather than defaulting to the cheapest or the heaviest. We show the weights we can offer at quotation.
Colour
Colours come from the fabric options. Some shades may be priced differently depending on the fabric. Several colours in one style means managing several batches, and the colour split per style is confirmed at quotation.
Trims
Trims are the details that make a hoodie feel finished, and each one adds a little.
- Drawcords. Flat or round, plain or with finished ends.
- Eyelets. Metal or stitched, where the drawcord exits the hood.
- Zips. On zip hoodies, the zip type and finish.
- Ribbed cuffs and hem. Standard on most styles; the rib type can vary.
- Hood construction. A single or double-layer hood changes fabric use.
Tell us which trims you want and we confirm the options at quotation. A hoodie without drawcords or eyelets is a valid design choice that also simplifies production.
Quantity
The minimum is 100 pieces per style, with sizes mixed. Larger quantities usually spread setup work, such as cutting preparation, embroidery file setup and print screens, across more pieces, which can bring the per-piece price down. The effect is strongest on decorated hoodies.
A practical tip: ask for a quotation at two quantities, your minimum and the quantity you would like to reach. You will see how the price moves for your specific style and decoration.
Decoration
Hoodies give you more places to brand than most garments: chest, back, sleeves and hood.
| Method | What drives cost |
|---|---|
| Embroidery | Stitch count, which grows with logo size and fill, and the number of positions |
| Screen print | Number of colours, print size and number of positions |
| Heat transfer | Design size and detail, number of positions |
| Woven patch | Patch size and the stitching to attach it |
Embroidery suits chest logos and sits well on heavier fabric. Print suits larger front, back and sleeve designs. Many brands combine them, such as a small embroidered chest logo with a back print. Each extra position is extra handling on every piece, so a design that uses four positions costs more than one that uses one.
Labels, tags, packing and shipping
Every hoodie carries your branding inside and out:
- a neck label;
- a wash-care label, with content that depends on the destination country, confirmed at quotation;
- a hang tag;
- packing: folding, individual polybags, size stickers, barcodes or carton labels.
Hoodies are bulky, so packing method also affects how many fit in a carton, which matters for shipping.
Shipping and destination
Hoodies are heavier and bulkier than T-shirts, so shipping is a bigger share of the total cost to you. Shipping method, terms and documents are confirmed in the quotation. We take enquiries from buyers worldwide.
How to bring a quotation closer to budget
If the first price is above where you need it to be, these changes usually help:
- Choose a crewneck or pullover rather than a zip hoodie.
- Choose a lighter weight in the same fabric.
- Reduce the number of colours in the style.
- Combine decoration into fewer positions.
- Simplify embroidery so the stitch count drops.
- Keep trims to the ones your buyers will value.
None of these needs to make the hoodie feel cheap. A well-cut French terry pullover with one neat embroidered logo can look more considered than an overloaded heavy hoodie.
Planning around sizes
Size split does not usually change the per-piece price much, but it changes how much stock you carry in sizes that may not sell. Our guide to hoodie size charts and size ratios helps you put the order where the demand is.
