Understanding Profit Margins in Shirt Wholesale
Profit margins in shirt wholesale depend on your pricing strategy, market, and costs. Typically, retailers aim for 30-50% gross margin, but with low wholesale prices, you can achieve more.
Example Calculation
Consider the Letter Character Rhinestone Print Slim Long Sleeve Shirt (AC-RS-005) at $32.96/pc (MOQ 60). If you retail it at $79.99, your gross profit per shirt is $47.03, a margin of about 59%.
