Blank Guides
The Blanks We Print Most, Explained
Five garments cover most of the orders that leave our shop. Each guide gives you the specs, the live blank price from our supplier catalog, the decoration tiers from our pricing engine, and an honest read on which method looks best on that fabric.
Bella+Canvas 3001 Unisex Jersey Tee
The 3001 is the blank that made "soft retail tee" the default for merch. Combed ring-spun cotton, a modern retail fit, and the largest color range in the catalog make it the safest pick when the shirt itself is part of the brand.
4.2 oz/yd², 32 singles · 96 colors · blank from $7.19/pc
Comfort Colors 1717 Garment-Dyed Heavyweight T-Shirt
The 1717 is the garment-dyed heavyweight that owns the vintage-wash look. Every shirt is dyed after it is sewn, which gives those lived-in colors no other blank can fake, and makes it the single best canvas for discharge printing.
6.1 oz/yd², 20 singles · 68 colors · blank from $11.34/pc
Gildan 5000 Heavy Cotton T-Shirt
The 5000 is the workhorse of custom printing: the shirt behind decades of event tees, work shirts, and giveaways. When the goal is the lowest cost per printed piece without going flimsy, this is the blank the math keeps picking.
5.3 oz/yd², 20 singles · 82 colors · blank from $4.48/pc
Next Level 3600 Cotton T-Shirt
The 3600 is the other premium ring-spun tee, the one brands pick when they want the soft combed-cotton print surface with a slimmer, longer cut than the 3001. Same fine-detail-friendly fabric, different silhouette.
4.3 oz/yd², 32 singles · 46 colors · blank from $7.26/pc
Independent Trading Co. SS4500 Midweight Hooded Sweatshirt
The SS4500 is the hoodie that streetwear brands standardized on: a midweight fleece with a 100% cotton face that prints like a tee, at a price that works for merch drops and team orders alike.
8.5 oz/yd², 20 singles · 46 colors · blank from $21.61/pc
