What the price covers
FOB is the tee made to your specification in stock jersey and delivered to the Egyptian port. The break applies per style, per colour, so 500 white regular tees are $5.90 each, while 250 white and 250 black are $6.90 each.
Why tees are the lowest-risk first order
Stock jersey is where the 50-piece minimum genuinely holds, and knit is Egypt's deepest capability. That makes a tee the cheapest way to test production, fit and labels before you commit a season.
What moves the price
- Heavier jersey
- Print or embroidery, and how many positions
