Ring-spun 30-singles cotton gives a smooth face for fine screen print detail and DTG, and Tultex reactive-dyes the fabric for longer-lasting color. It feels like a fashion tee in hand at a price that works for larger merch runs.
The size range runs from XS up to 5XL, which helps band and brand merch tables cover every fan with one style.
Decoration
Which Decoration Method Works Best on the Tultex 202?
Screen printing
Prints fine detail and soft-hand water-based inks well on the ring-spun surface. Solid colors are 100% cotton, so water-based looks are on the table.
DTG
A strong DTG blank on solid colors. DTG has no minimum, so you can sample the 202 before a full run.
Watch out for
Heathers other than Heather Grey are 50/50 blends and print more muted with DTG. The catalog lists side seams on the 4XL and 5XL sizes only.

Pricing
How Much Does It Cost to Print the Tultex 202?
Two parts: the blank (from $5.20 per piece, live catalog price) plus decoration from the tiers below. A 48-piece run with a 1-color front print works out around $12.76 per piece before tax, with the screen already inside that figure rather than billed on top.
| Quantity | Per piece (1 color to 3 colors) |
|---|---|
| 36-49 pieces | $7.73 - $10.00/pc |
| 50-99 pieces | $5.43 - $7.04/pc |
| 100-199 pieces | $3.77 - $4.71/pc |
| 200-449 pieces | $2.77 - $3.35/pc |
| 450-999 pieces | $2.17 - $2.55/pc |
| 1000+ pieces | $1.43 - $1.66/pc |
| Under 36 pieces | $12.00 - $25.00/pc DTG (no minimum, no setup fee) |
Minimum 36 pieces. Prices are per piece, decoration only. Blank garment is additional and priced from live wholesale catalogs.
Screen setup is built into the per-piece price: one screen per ink color, plus one more for the white underbase on dark garments, spread across your run, so there is no separate setup line. More colors mean more screens, which is why color count moves the per-piece price and why the same design prices lower on a bigger run. Runs of 24 pieces or fewer also carry film and press setup, included the same way. We keep your artwork on file, so reorders are quick, and a repeat of the same design carries no setup, so it prices lower per piece.
Range shown is a 1-color to 3-color print, one location, with the screens already included. Each additional location is priced separately.
Decoration rates shown are for screen printing this blank; DTG and other methods are priced live in the calculator.
Prices exclude CA sales tax (10.5%), which applies to the blank garment only.
Every line item, including screens and multi-location prints, is explained in our screen printing cost guide.
