    Variant: Gildan 18500 pullover hoody, adult, dropship qty 1, digital (DTG) print

    Base: Apliiq's dropship price for one adult Gildan 18500 with a digital (DTG) print, $22.99 from its own price table ($15.50 is the undecorated blank), plus the $1.00 per-item dropship fulfillment fee Apliiq charges on top of that table. Excludes shipping, tax and extras. Base price source.

    Shipping: Apliiq's published US rate for an order weighing 16 to 31.9 oz; Apliiq states that a single hoodie weighs over 16 oz and needs its upgraded shipping. Charged by the order's total weight, so a second item moves the order to a heavier tier instead of adding a fixed amount. Shipping source.

  • Spreadconnect (formerly SPOD): Spreadconnect (formerly SPOD) shows base prices only inside its app; no public price could be verified. Source.
  • Gooten: Gooten publishes only a volume starting price for this blank ($15.34, 'Volume pricing starts at'); its single-unit price is not public, so no comparable base cost is shown. Source.

Each total is one item with first-item US shipping, before tax, ads, refunds, plan and setup fees; a supplier's starting variant can differ, so confirm it and the destination before ordering.

About this product

8.0 oz 50/50 cotton/poly Heavy Blend fleece with a double-lined hood, front pouch pocket, and MVS air-spun yarn that reduces pilling and prints clean. The highest-AOV apparel best-seller after the tee.

Blank & sizes

Gildan 18500. 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. Embroidery: Design is stitched into the fabric with thread rather than printed. Delivers a premium, tactile, durable finish ideal for logos on hats, polos, and fleece; limited to simpler artwork and lower detail than printing. 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.

Blank specifications from Gildan. Confirm sizes and print areas before ordering.

Embroidery can carry a separate setup or digitization fee for a new design. Confirm it with the supplier; it is excluded from these per-item totals.
