The product behind the price
About this product
5.3 oz 100% pre-shrunk heavy cotton (Gildan 5000) with taped shoulders and a classic full fit. The lowest-cost workhorse blank in print-on-demand and the value benchmark most tee costs are compared against.
Blank & sizes
Gildan 5000. Sizes and options: S-5XL. The high-volume value blank manufacturer covering tees, long sleeves, hoodies, and crewnecks (5000, 2400, 18500, 18000). Heavier cotton and 50/50 Heavy Blend fleece with MVS air-spun yarn for durable, low-cost, print-friendly garments.
Decoration methods
DTG (Direct-to-Garment): Water-based inkjet printing directly onto a pre-treated garment. Best on 100% cotton, ideal for photographic and full-color detail with no minimum order, but slower per unit and less vivid on dark polyester. DTF (Direct-to-Film): Design is printed on film, coated with adhesive powder, then heat-pressed onto the garment. Works on cotton, polyester, blends, and dark fabrics with a slightly raised, durable feel; more versatile across fabric types than DTG. Screen Print: Ink is pushed through a stencil mesh, one screen per color. The most cost-effective and durable method at volume with vibrant opaque colors on light and dark garments, but it carries setup cost and minimums, so POD uses it mainly for larger runs.
