Selling on Bonfire is 100% free.

The base cost is the cost to manufacture your product, which decreases as you sell more products. It changes based on the following factors: 

  • Number of ink colors used in your design

  • Printing on one or both sides of your product

  • The products you choose to sell (e.g. Premium Unisex Tee vs. Women’s Slouchy Tank)

  • The number of shirts you sell

Your profit is the difference between your selling price and the base cost.

Visit our pricing calculator to estimate your profit:

To design & purchase products at base cost, place a custom order.

Note: To ensure all campaign orders will be printed, prices cannot be set below our minimum selling price. The minimum selling price will vary based on the above factors.
