💰 How to Price Your Sublimation Products (the Right Way)

Start by factoring in all your costs:

  • Product cost (e.g. 20 oz tumbler: $3.50)

  • Shipping (average $12/order in Canada)

  • Packaging materials

  • Design time and labor

  • Marketplace or payment fees (Shopify, Etsy, etc.)

A solid pricing formula:

pgsql
Retail Price = (Total Cost × 2.5 to 3.5) → Adjust for perceived value and target market

Example:

  • Tumbler cost: $3.50

  • Shipping: $12 (split over 2 items) = $6

  • Packaging: $1

  • Total = $10.50

  • Retail price = $28–$35

✅ You profit $17.50–$24.50 per tumbler sold.
