The guide
Best sellers
The blanks decorators keep reordering: styles that print the same every run, stay in stock, and price well at quantity. Each group below covers a different job.
Value tees
The cheapest canvas that still prints clean. Basic cotton and 50/50 blends that reorder by the case without eating the margin.
Everyday tees
Softer ring-spun cotton with a smoother face for sharper DTG. A real step up in hand-feel without much of a jump in price.
