What Is Multi-process Fee?
The multi-process fee, set at USD 2.99, is an additional charge applied to product pricing when using multiple printing methods (such as DTG+embroidery) on a garment. This fee covers the increased complexity of production, as garments need to move between different production lines. It also accounts for higher labor costs, stricter quality control, and potential scrap costs associated with remaking flawed garments due to the higher risk of errors with multi-process printing.
