How to price a sublimated mug or T-shirt

In sublimation, the cost of each item has four parts: the blank, printing the design (paper and ink), the heat press and your time.

An example with a mug

On top of that cost, Suma3D adds waste for failures, packaging, the platform fee, your profit and any tax. It includes common sublimation blanks (mugs, magic mugs, bottles, polyester T-shirts, cushions, mouse pads, puzzles, coasters…) and heat press and mug press models.
