What we print on: garment specifications

Every package on this site names its blank. These are the manufacturer's numbers for each one — weight, fabric, fit, how it is built, and the measured size chart — so you can compare them against anyone else's quote before you order.

A shirt package is only as good as the shirt in it. Two shops can quote the same price for “100 custom tees” and hand you garments that feel nothing alike, so we name the exact style number on every package page and put the specification here. Nothing below is our opinion of the fabric: the weights, compositions and size ranges come from the mill by way of our blanks supplier.

How to read a blank’s weight

Fabric weight is ounces per square yard, and it is the number that tells you most. A 4.5 oz ring-spun tee like the Softstyle 64000 is light and soft, the kind of shirt people wear on their own time. A 6 oz heavy cotton tee is stiffer and hides the body more; it lasts longer through industrial laundering but it is not what most crews want. At 8 oz you are into fleece.

“Singles” counts how fine the yarn is: a higher number means a finer, smoother yarn. 30 singles ring-spun, which is what the Softstyle uses, is the usual mark of a retail-feeling blank rather than a promotional one.

Can we print on a garment that is not on this list?

Often, yes. We buy from the same catalogues every other shop does, so long sleeves, tanks, ladies’ cuts, zip hoodies and performance fabrics are all available — they are simply not packaged at a fixed price, because the blank costs vary too much. Tell us the style number or just describe what you want on the contact page and we will quote it.

Specifications are the manufacturer’s, supplied through our blanks distributor and re-checked when we restock. Measurements for each size are on the size & fit guide. Printing and placement limits are on the artwork requirements page. Everything is printed and pressed at our shop in Chicago Ridge.
