Bayside Blank T-Shirts: USA-Made Heavyweight Cotton for Screen Printing Programs

6.1 oz Fabric weight on the Bayside 1701 Premium, heavier than most competing t-shirt blanks
100% Ring-spun cotton construction on core Bayside styles, producing a tighter print surface than open-end spun
USA Domestic manufacturing on all core Bayside styles for programs requiring domestic sourcing

Bayside is one of the few wholesale blank apparel brands that manufactures core t-shirt styles in the United States. Screen printers, embroiderers, and promotional product companies with clients requiring domestic-sourced garments order Bayside when the origin of the blank is a stated specification. Beyond the USA-made designation, Bayside t-shirts are notable for their fabric weight: the 1701 Premium runs at 6.1 oz, heavier than most competing cotton blanks, which affects both print behavior and garment durability.

Bayside 1701 Premium: 6.1 oz Heavyweight for Screen Printing

The Bayside 1701 Premium (6.1 oz, 100% ring-spun cotton) is the heaviest core t-shirt blank in the mainstream wholesale range. At 6.1 oz, the fabric provides a dense, stable print surface for high-density and puff ink screen printing techniques that require a substrate with enough body to support thick ink deposits without distortion. Ring-spun yarn construction produces a smoother surface than open-end spun cotton of the same weight, which improves ink lay and reduces halftone dot gain on multi-color spot color jobs. The heavier fabric weight also means the garment has a structured drape and a premium hand feel that separates it from lighter promotional blanks. For decorators running union shop programs, government contract apparel, or client accounts with explicit USA-made requirements, the 1701 satisfies the domestic sourcing specification while delivering a blank that performs well under production screen printing.

Bayside 5040 USA-Made Ring-Spun: Mid-Weight Option

The Bayside 5040 is a USA-made ring-spun cotton t-shirt at a mid-weight, providing the domestic sourcing designation with a lighter hand feel than the 1701 Premium. The 5040 is the correct Bayside style for programs that need USA-made construction but prefer a softer garment weight closer to the feel of a retail fine jersey blank. Screen printing behavior on the 5040 is closer to standard cotton blanks in the 4.5 to 5.0 oz range. Both the 1701 and 5040 are fully compatible with plastisol screen printing, DTF transfers, heat transfer vinyl, and embroidery. For embroidery, use a tearaway backing on lighter plaque designs and a cutaway for left-chest logos with significant thread count.

When to Choose Bayside Over Gildan or Hanes for a Decoration Program

Gildan and Hanes are the volume leaders in wholesale cotton t-shirts, and the per-unit cost is lower than Bayside across comparable weights. Bayside becomes the correct sourcing choice when a client program has one or more of these specific requirements: USA-made manufacturing is stated in the contract or RFP; the client organization has a domestic sourcing policy (common in government, military, and union-affiliated accounts); or the end-buyer is purchasing Bayside for its own brand equity in the made-in-USA market. For purely cost-driven programs without a domestic sourcing requirement, the Gildan wholesale t-shirts or cotton t-shirts collection offer a wider range of price tiers.

Buying Guide for Wholesale Bayside Blank T-Shirts

1701 Premium for Heavy-Weight Screen Printing

The Bayside 1701 (6.1 oz, ring-spun cotton) is the heaviest core wholesale cotton t-shirt blank. Dense fabric supports high-density and puff ink techniques. Ring-spun construction reduces halftone dot gain on multi-color jobs. Made in USA satisfies domestic sourcing requirements for government and union shop programs.

5040 Ring-Spun for Softer USA-Made Programs

The Bayside 5040 is a mid-weight USA-made ring-spun cotton option for programs that need domestic sourcing but prefer a lighter hand feel than the 1701. Screen printing, DTF, and embroidery compatible. Use when the client requires USA-made and the end-buyer expects a softer retail-grade blank.

Core Bayside styles are manufactured in the United States. This satisfies domestic sourcing requirements for union print shop contracts, government agency apparel programs, military-affiliated accounts, and promotional orders with explicit USA-made specifications.

Screen Print, DTF, and Embroidery Ready

Both the 1701 and 5040 accept plastisol screen printing, DTF transfers, heat transfer vinyl, and embroidery. For embroidery, tearaway backing for lighter left-chest logos; cutaway for high-stitch-count designs. No dye migration risk on 100% cotton styles.

Common Questions

Wholesale Blank Bayside T-Shirts FAQ

Yes. Core Bayside blank t-shirt styles including the 1701 Premium and 5040 USA-Made Ring-Spun are manufactured in the United States. This domestic manufacturing designation satisfies requirements for union print shop contracts, government agency apparel programs, military-affiliated accounts, and promotional orders where the client organization specifies USA-made garments. Confirm the specific style's country of origin on the product listing before ordering for a domestic sourcing program.
The Bayside 1701 Premium is a 6.1 oz ring-spun cotton t-shirt. The heavier fabric weight provides a dense, stable print surface that supports high-density ink deposits, puff ink techniques, and multi-color spot color jobs without substrate distortion. Ring-spun construction produces a smoother surface than open-end spun cotton of the same weight, improving ink lay and reducing halftone dot gain on production screen print runs.
The Bayside 1701 Premium is a 6.1 oz heavyweight ring-spun cotton t-shirt built for production screen printing and programs requiring a structured, heavy-weight blank. The Bayside 5040 is a mid-weight USA-made ring-spun cotton option for programs that need domestic sourcing but want a softer hand feel closer to a retail fine jersey blank. Both styles accept plastisol screen printing, DTF transfers, and embroidery. Choose the 1701 for heavy-ink applications; the 5040 for softer-feel programs.
The Bayside 1701 (6.1 oz, ring-spun) is heavier than the Gildan G500 (5.3 oz, air jet spun) and uses ring-spun construction rather than open-end spun yarn. Ring-spun cotton produces a tighter, smoother print surface with less dot gain on halftone work. The G500 is lower cost per unit. The 1701 is the correct choice when the program requires USA-made construction or the decoration requires a heavier substrate to support high-density ink deposits.
Yes. Both the Bayside 1701 and 5040 are compatible with machine embroidery. For lighter left-chest logo designs with lower stitch counts, a tearaway backing is sufficient. For designs with high thread counts or full front prints with significant embroidery coverage, use a cutaway backing to stabilize the fabric and prevent distortion during the embroidery run. The 6.1 oz fabric weight on the 1701 provides more natural structure under the embroidery hoop than lighter blanks.
