Blank T-Shirt Manufacturer for Print-Ready Brands

Blank t-shirt manufacturing is the foundation product across virtually every print-shop, custom merchandise business, and DTC brand with in-house decoration. The construction quality at this commodity-tier matters more than buyers often realize — print quality is directly affected by fabric surface evenness, pre-shrinkage consistency, and pattern grading accuracy. Our blank t-shirt production runs across fabric weight tiers: 140-160 GSM (commodity tier): basic blank tees for high-volume custom merchandise, event-branded apparel, fitness chain merchandise. 100% cotton or 50/50 cotton-poly blend. Yarn count 20s carded for budget tier, 24s combed for premium budget tier. FOB $2.40-3.20 at 500+ piece tier. 180 GSM (premium summer tier): boutique custom apparel, Mediterranean-market positioning, performance underlayer tier. 100% combed cotton single jersey. FOB $3.50-4.50 at 200-piece MOQ. 200-220 GSM (standard premium tier): boutique streetwear blank, year-round wearability, most popular tier for DTC brand blanks. 100% combed ringspun cotton. FOB $3.20-4.20 at 200-piece MOQ. 240-260 GSM (heavyweight premium tier): premium streetwear blank tee positioning, $35-55 retail tier. 100% combed ringspun cotton, 20s yarn count for substantial drape. FOB $4.50-5.80 at 200-piece MOQ. Construction priorities for blank tees: pre-shrunk fabric (3-5% shrinkage allowance built into pattern grading), consistent neckband construction (double-layer at 240+ GSM, single-layer with reinforcement at lower weights), clean side seam or tubular construction depending on tier. Decoration considerations for printers buying blanks: fabric surface evenness matters for DTG print quality, cotton content matters for sublimation suitability (poly blends only), neckband consistency matters for hangtag placement. MOQ 50 pieces per style/colorway. Tech-pack to info@mughalapparel.com — tiered pricing across volume tiers (50/200/500/1000+ pieces).
