The classic t-shirt will forever be the main staple for custom-printed apparel, and for Gooten, it represents the vast majority of garments we print annually. Throughout the delivery process and through the feedback of your customers, we have learned a lot about what people like and dislike and the most popular styles for t-shirts.<\/span><\/p>

With such a wide variety of t-shirts to pick from our product catalog, it\u2019s good to know that not our t-shirts are the same, and not all print jobs are the same. The quality of your products is paramount to your brand and its success, so it\u2019s important to educate yourself and choose your blank shirts wisely. When starting a shirt business online, it might be tempting to sacrifice quality for higher profit margins. But in the grand scheme, you need to consider how the quality will affect a customer\u2019s decision to share your brand and purchase from you again.<\/span><\/p>


Choosing a quality t-shirt encompasses several factors, including yarn, fabric, weight, construction, and fit. Having a basic understanding of how a t-shirt is constructed is the foundation for choosing the perfect tee. Wading through the countless styles today can be overwhelming, but knowing the differences in yarn count, fabric, weight, construction, and fit can help save your print on demand business time and money. A great starting point for determining which blank t-shirt to use is to check out our <\/span>How To Choose The Best T-Shirt<\/a><\/strong> blog for more information on each aspect when picking a t-shirt for printing.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Bella Canvas vs. Gildan<\/b><\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Gildan is a Canadian company with a wide variety of quality clothing in different styles and colors. Their t-shirts are typically made with 100% cotton.<\/span><\/p>

Bella Canvas is a higher quality, more fashionable tee. This company is based out of LA, and they offer great styles, and their shirts are all 100% combed and ring-spun cotton, creating a super soft feel. These shirts are a bit pricier than Gildan shirts but are worth it if you are looking for a stylish fit.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Gildan 5000 and Gildan 2000<\/b><\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The Gildan 5000 is made of 100% cotton and is budget-friendly. It\u2019s a heavy-weight material that will feel a little more structured. However, it won\u2019t feel as soft as the option from Bella Canvas. If you\u2019re looking for a soft t-shirt alternative from Gildan, we recommend the Gildan 2000 model. It\u2019s still a budget-friendly option that provides a softer feel, similar to the Bella+Canvas shirts. The value of the Gildan 5000 isn\u2019t how it feels but that it\u2019s so cost-effective.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The Bella Canvas 3001 is also 100% cotton but is instead made of combed and ring-spun cotton that\u2019s significantly softer and smoother. It\u2019s a lightweight material with a more retail-quality feel that will be less structured and drape more fluidly.<\/span><\/p>

One downside of lightweight materials like this is that they can be slightly see-through in light colors like white, ash, and natural. But the upside is a comfortable material with more give and stretch. You shouldn\u2019t be worried about the thinness of the Bella Canvas shirt. White may appear a bit see-through, but it will be fine for all other colors.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
