I had a phone call yesterday asking me for a quote for 20 t-shirts printed with Pudsey Bear logo. I'll tell you what I quoted later but just wondering what others would have quoted

White or black or coloured garments

Business customer or member of public (yes there is quite a big difference)

Regular customer or a one off

Cheap FOTL or decent Continental


In other words you will get 20 replies to this with 20 different totals. Each customer/supplier relationship is different and has different circumstances.

As an example, if I did not know this customer and it was a one off then I would say in the region of £5-6 each. however I have supplied more garments to regular customers free of charge, they have spent about 40k over the year so free garments for a charity do is nothing to give away.

Socialgiraffe have share vast opinion and i am agree. I think he was a public member, because business persons ll never give you confusion. But if you want to must quote 20 shirts. Then you can choose or make some quote in Pudsey Bear logo.

Are BBC OK with people using the Pudsey Bear logo on their own merch?

No, as the BBC sell their own merchandise.

Which is why I refused to quote. I got a lot of abuse off the enquirer because she already had 4 quotes from other t-shirt printers. I suggested to her that she goes back and asks each of them what size of stetson they wear.

Im sure the law is the same there as where I am. Printing copyrighted material is a no no. Selling as nearly as bad and even asking for it to be done is illegal. If caught, you, the printer, could end up in jail, you will get the minimum of a massive fine and it could be enough to bankrupt you.
Infringing copyright is more serious than selling coke , the powder stuff, on the streets.

Blimey. I am sure it is... I still remember the love parade in berlin

Quite right too i wouldnt mind betting we have all sailed close to the wind on copyright but when it comes down to charaties i personally think you should definatly take the moral high ground. Who ever does this job for that customer is not only breaking copyright law but they will be stealing out of the mouths of the children that the pudsey francise is there to help. The bbc i believe do not make a profit from the sale of pudsey goods the profits go straight into the charity itself after production costs . Id ask your customer if they are comfortable with the fact that the profit will be being stolen from the charity

I told them they should buy them from the BBC or one of the authorised sellers because the profit goes back to the charity, She said it was a rip-off. I wonder who she was planning to rip off !!
