Screen printing custom designs on t-shirts is
more popular than ever, both for personal use and
for businesses offering customized or
personalized apparel. When ordering wholesale
mens t-shirts for screen printing or any t-
shirt for customization, its important to choose
high quality brands and styles that are optimized
for holding screen printed designs. The fabric of
the tee, its weight, and construction
dramatically affect the look and feel of the
finished printed product. Three of the top
wholesale t-shirt brands recommended for screen
printing are Comfort Colors, Next Level, and
BellaCanvas. These brands offer diverse options
for blank t-shirts in various fabric blends,
weights, and silhouettes.

Comfort Colors is known for their ultra-soft
ringspun cotton t-shirts. Two of their most
popular styles for printing are the C1717
(unisex) and the C3199 ladies t-shirt. These
mid-weight 100 cotton tees have a relaxed
straight cut and come in a wide variety of colors
from neutrals to brights. The C1717 in particular
comes in a huge variety of colors and is among
the most budget- friendly bestsellers in
YouApparel. The cotton holds screen printed
designs well with great opacity and a soft
handfeel. Next Level Apparel is a go-to for
triblend tees that have a high percentage of
polyester (50 polyester/25 cotton/25 rayon).
The Next Level 3600 and 6410 are ideal for
printing with a looser relaxed fit and tri-blend
fabric that breathes well and reduces shrinking.
The fabric provides a soft feel and vivid colors
that complement screen printed designs.

BellaCanvas offers options like the unisex 3001C
in 100 airlume combed ringpun cotton. It has a
retail fit and comes in a huge range of colors.
The materials and construction provide a perfect
canvas for direct to garment printing and screen
printing with no bleeding or distortion. When
preparing to order bulk mens t-shirts for your
print orders, get product samples first from
brands like these to test your designs. Many
factors like print technique, inks, and curing
can affect the final printed product. Test
different mens blank t-shirts options to
determine which provides the best print quality,
opacity, handfeel, and finish for your designs.
Pay close attention to how the t-shirt fits
before and after printing to allow for any
shrinkage. Going with a high quality blank tee
designed specifically for printing will result in
a better end product that showcases your designs
and graphics.
