Short version, straight from the floor.
Bella+Canvas is the default premium blank for boutique brand founders, Etsy sellers, and print shops serving a customer who notices fabric quality. The 3001 unisex jersey tee is the brand's anchor SKU: 4.2 oz ring-spun cotton, airlume combed and ring-spun finish, retail fit with a side seam. It presses at 305 F for 10 to 12 seconds, holds DTF color vibrancy better than most 5 oz heavyweights, and washes without cracking through 60 cycles when pressed at the right settings.
Pressing the 3413 triblend at 305 F like a standard cotton tee. The rayon content in the triblend releases moisture differently under heat. Press at 300 F, reduce pressure slightly, and peel warm. Pressing at 305 F can cause the rayon fibers to pill slightly in the print area. One degree matters on this SKU.
Sizing a corporate program in Bella+Canvas without a fit review. The 3001 runs fashion, not traditional. A size L in Bella+Canvas is a fitted L. For a 40-person office where half the staff is used to wearing Gildan XL, do a fit sample before you commit. Every person who returns a too-small shirt costs you margin.
Ordering the 3001CVC for a polyester-heavy dye migration risk. The CVC has poly content. On red and burgundy colorways, test for dye migration before committing to volume. The poly content is low enough that most CVC presses cleanly, but check your specific color before a 200-unit run.
Skipping the Bella+Canvas brand in favor of a cheaper blank for boutique retail. The Bella+Canvas name carries market recognition in the boutique and streetwear space. If your customer is selling a $50 tee, the $2 savings from switching to an unbranded blank costs you credibility. Let the brand name do marketing work.

Bella+Canvas is the default premium blank for boutique brand founders, Etsy sellers, and print shops serving a customer who notices fabric quality. The 3001 unisex jersey tee is the brand's anchor SKU: 4.2 oz ring-spun cotton, airlume combed and ring-spun finish, retail fit with a side seam. It presses at 305 F for 10 to 12 seconds, holds DTF color vibrancy better than most 5 oz heavyweights, and washes without cracking through 60 cycles when pressed at the right settings.
The 3413 triblend is for customers who want a heathered, worn-in look right out of the bag. At 3.8 oz it is lighter than the 3001, and the rayon content gives it a drape that reads fashion-forward on a hanger. DTF behavior on triblend is slightly more demanding: the rayon absorbs ink differently, so press at 300 F and use a lighter pressure than you would on straight cotton. The hand feel is soft enough that customers who pick it up in a retail context will ask where it came from.
The 3001CVC bridges the gap. CVC stands for chief value cotton, meaning it has a poly content that resists shrinkage and holds color better through washes than straight cotton, while still pressing at cotton temps. For a shop doing a mix of brand programs and event tees where longevity matters, the CVC is a smart default over the straight 3001.
Bella+Canvas sizing runs true to retail. That matters when your customer is comparing your blank to what they have been buying at Nordstrom. Size S is a unisex small that works for both men and women in fashion-forward contexts. For corporate programs requiring traditional fit, swap to Gildan or Port and Company and save the Bella+Canvas for the boutique accounts.
