Fabric & print behavior
The 3600's pure A step after carding where short fibers are combed out. Combed yarn is smoother, stronger, and pills less than straight-carded yarn. ring-spun face is the DTG pick of the two: no poly to fight, smooth surface, clean fine detail. The 6210's 40% polyester buys softness, drape, and wrinkle resistance, but it needs low-bleed inks for screen print and the usual blend handling for DTG A liquid sprayed onto dark garments before DTG printing. It reacts with the ink to improve adhesion and helps white ink stay bright on dark fabric. .
The A printed neck label attached with a perforated seam so the wearer can tear it out without scissors. Common on retail-fit and private-label blanks. tags matter more than they sound: relabeling for private-label merch takes seconds instead of a seam ripper.
When to choose Next Level
Pick Next Level when the job wants a slimmer, more fashion-forward fit than Bella + Canvas, when a CVC heather is the look, or when the order is getting relabeled. It prices close to Bella + Canvas, well above Gildan, so quote it for retail merch, not giveaways. Between the two: 3600 for DTG and pure-cotton jobs, 6210 when softness and heathers sell the shirt.
