Gildan is the highest-volume wholesale blank brand in North America, and this collection covers the full t-shirt range: every style family, every color, and every fit option Gildan produces. Screen printers, DTF decorators, uniform suppliers, and promotional product companies use Gildan blanks as the default substrate for high-unit jobs where cost-per-impression and reorder consistency matter more than retail positioning.

Gildan T-Shirt Style Families: G500, G640, G800, G200 and Beyond

The G500 Heavy Cotton (5.3 oz, 100% air jet spun cotton) is the industry default for bulk screen printing. Open-end yarn construction produces a slightly coarser surface than ring-spun alternatives, but plastisol ink adhesion is consistent and predictable at standard mesh counts. The G640 and 64000 Softstyle use ring-spun cotton (4.5 oz) and represent Gildan's retail-grade option: softer hand feel, cleaner DTG detail, and a surface that competes with Bella Canvas 3001 at a lower cost per unit. The G800 DryBlend (50/50 cotton-poly, 5.6 oz) is the moisture-wicking option for athletic programs, outdoor event staff shirts, and workwear decoration runs where wash durability across repeated industrial cycles is required. The G200 and G2000 Ultra Cotton (6.0 oz, 100% cotton) are the heaviest-weight options in the range, used for programs where garment weight signals quality or where clients specifically request a heavier blank. For decorators running gender-specific or youth programs, the G500L Women's Heavy Cotton and G500B Youth Heavy Cotton carry the same construction as the G500 with fits sized to their respective audiences.

Decoration Compatibility Across Gildan T-Shirt Styles

The G500's air jet spun cotton surface holds plastisol ink cleanly at 110 to 160 mesh for spot-color work. Halftone dots land with minimal bleed, and solid coverage builds at standard squeegee pressure without requiring specialty inks. For DTF transfers, the G500 and G800 press at standard cotton settings: 310 to 325 degrees Fahrenheit, 10 to 15 seconds, medium pressure. The G640 and 64000 Softstyle produce superior DTG results due to the tighter ring-spun yarn surface reducing ink absorption variation. For embroidery, the G500 and G200 provide enough weight to back decorative stitching without puckering on standard stabilizer setups. The G800's 50/50 blend is compatible with heat transfer vinyl, screen printing plastisol, and DTF, but requires low-bleed ink systems for certain colors due to the polyester component.
