Blank T-Shirts, Sorted By Who You Are Selling To

Every t-shirt in our catalog is grouped by the customer it is meant for, not by the manufacturer. Faster picks, fewer regrets, DTF compatibility notes on every SKU.

What this is

A production-floor definition, not a spec sheet.

This is a curated t-shirt catalog for people who need to make a decision and get to production. We stock the shirts we would actually decorate. That means Bella+Canvas, Next Level, Comfort Colors, Gildan, and AS Colour, plus a handful of niche picks (Independent Trading tees, District, Alternative Apparel). Not 20,000 SKUs. A working catalog we can back with real press data.

Every shirt on this hub has a set of production-floor numbers next to it. Recommended press temp, dye migration risk, DTF compatibility (yes / limitations / no), embroidery compatibility, and a plain-English hand feel rating. If a shirt has a known issue like the Comfort Colors pigment bleed on light designs, we flag it on the SKU page, we do not bury it three tabs deep.

The default sort is by intended buyer. Boutique brand founder: Bella+Canvas 3001, Comfort Colors 1717, AS Colour 5001. Restaurant program: Gildan 5000, Port and Company front-of-house tees. Corporate uniform: Gildan 8000 blend polos live on the polos hub. Sports and school programs: Sport-Tek K500 and Bella+Canvas 3413 tri-blends. Filter accordingly.

We are not the widest t-shirt catalog online. S&S Activewear and SanMar have 20,000 SKUs and we have hundreds. That is on purpose. Our depth pays off when you get to production. Their breadth pays off when you need a specific novelty color for a one-off. Different tools, different jobs. Buy from us when you want a shirt you know behaves under a heat press.

Don't make these mistakes

Mistakes to avoid on your first blanks order.

Picking the shirt by price before picking it by buyer.

A $2.20 blank looks great in a spreadsheet and terrible on a boutique retail shelf. Price is the fourth question, not the first. Buyer, fabric, fit, then price. If your customer will pay $45, buying a $2.20 shirt to save $2 makes you $2 poorer per unit at the reorder.

Ignoring the dye migration risk on cheap poly blends.

Bargain poly-cotton blends without a poly blocker in the DTF ink layer will bleed after a wash cycle. Red and burgundy blends are the worst offenders. Every shirt on this hub carries a dye migration risk flag. Read it before you order 500.

Ordering a fashion-fit unisex tee for a corporate program.

Next Level 3600 and AS Colour 5001 fit fashion. They run smaller than Gildan and Port and Company. Corporate program buyers dressing 40-person offices need traditional fit or half your staff comes back for a bigger size. Right fit for the right program.

Buying a heavyweight in July for outdoor summer events.

Comfort Colors 1717 is a 6.1 oz. Bella+Canvas 3001 is 4.2 oz. Summer festival staff shirts in Comfort Colors will get returned as too hot. Pick the weight for the season and the wearer, not the aesthetic you liked on Pinterest.

Beginner recommendations

First blank shirt? Start here.

Do not spread your first drop across five brands. Pick one workhorse blank, one premium blank, and stop. This is the shortlist.

First-time apparel brand founder

You have a logo, an Instagram, and a budget under $2,000. Do not buy the cheapest blanks and do not order 500 units on your first drop. Order 100 units across two garments, use DTF (not screen print) so you can offer multi-color art without setup fees, and save the money you did not spend on screens for photography.

Or skip the decisions: let us package the whole starter for you.
