267 Blank ITC products across crewnecks, hoodies, and zip styles

4 Key weights: 13 oz, 8.5 oz, 7.5 oz, plus pigment-dyed PRM3500

Independent Trading Co (ITC) builds a range of fleece blanks that cover three weight tiers: heavyweight at 13 oz (IND4000), mid-heavy at 8.5 oz (IND10000), and midweight at 7.5 oz (SS3000). This collection holds 267 products across crewneck sweatshirts, pullover hoodies, and zip-up styles. ITC is positioned in the streetwear-adjacent segment, making it a common choice for retail merch drops, varsity programs, and screen print shops whose clients want a retail-weight feel.

IND4000 Heavyweight Fleece Crewneck: 13 oz, 80/20 Cotton/Poly

The IND4000 is an 80/20 cotton/poly fleece crewneck at 13 oz/yd2. At 13 oz, it sits at the top of what most printers stock for standard crewneck programs. The weight produces a thick hand feel that reads as premium at retail. For screen print, the dense fleece surface requires a soft-hand underbase on dark garments to prevent bleed-through from the fleece texture. Plastisol inks with a higher-opacity formula work best. For embroidery, topping material is recommended on designs with fine text to prevent stitches from sinking into the pile.

IND10000 and SS3000: Mid-Range Weight Options

The IND10000 Legend Fleece Crewneck runs at 8.5 oz, using a cotton-rich construction similar to the IND4000 but at a lighter weight. The SS3000 Midweight Fleece Crewneck at 7.5 oz (80/20 cotton/poly) is the entry point for ITC crewneck programs. Both weights accept plastisol screen print without requiring a heavy underbase, as the thinner fleece surface sits flatter than the IND4000 pile. For programs with per-unit budget constraints, the SS3000 provides a mid-tier alternative with the same ITC brand identity.

PRM3500 Pigment-Dyed Crewneck

The PRM3500 Midweight Pigment-Dyed Crewneck at 8.5 oz uses a garment-dye process that produces unique color variation per garment. No two pieces are identical, which is a deliberate aesthetic for retail programs and direct-to-consumer merch. For decoration, the washed-out surface tone affects ink color appearance: lighter ink colors may read differently across garments due to the variation in base color. Programs specifying the PRM3500 typically use single-color or two-color prints rather than full-color designs.

FAQ

Common Questions About Wholesale Independent Trading Co Sweatshirts

The IND4000 Heavyweight Fleece Crewneck Sweatshirt is 13 oz/yd2, constructed from an 80/20 cotton/poly blend. At 13 oz, it is one of the heaviest standard crewnecks available as a blank wholesale style. The thick fleece pile produces a heavy hand feel that reads as retail-grade. For screen print on the IND4000, a soft-hand underbase is recommended on dark garments to prevent the fleece texture from showing through the ink film.
All three styles use an 80/20 cotton/poly construction. The IND4000 is 13 oz, the IND10000 Legend Fleece is 8.5 oz, and the SS3000 Midweight is 7.5 oz. The IND4000 has the densest pile and heaviest hand feel. The IND10000 and SS3000 have a flatter fleece surface that requires less underbase preparation for screen print. For programs with a strict per-unit budget, the SS3000 provides a lighter ITC option with the same brand identity.
The IND4000 can be screen printed. The thick 13 oz pile surface requires a high-mesh count screen and a soft-hand underbase on dark garments. Plastisol ink with a higher-opacity formula covers the fleece texture more cleanly. Flash cure between colors is standard. On light garments, single-color prints can go directly on the fleece surface without an underbase, depending on the design.
The PRM3500 is a Midweight Pigment-Dyed Crewneck at 8.5 oz. The garment-dye process produces unique color variation per unit, meaning no two pieces have an identical base tone. This affects ink color appearance: lighter inks may read differently across garments due to tone variation in the base. Programs specifying the PRM3500 typically use 1-2 color prints. Full-color or photographic print work is not recommended due to color inconsistency across the run.
Yes. The ITC range in this collection includes pullover hoodies and zip-up styles alongside the crewneck sweatshirts. The IND4000 construction is available in a matching hoodie style (IND4000Z zip and pullover). The SS1000 Classic Crewneck and SS3000 Midweight also have corresponding hoodie versions. For a focused view of ITC hoodies only, use the hoodies collection filter.
Plastisol screen print is the primary decoration method across all ITC fleece weights. DTG is possible on cotton-rich fleece but requires pre-treatment and produces less consistent results on heavy pile. Embroidery works on all ITC styles; the IND4000 requires topping material on fine-text designs to prevent stitches from sinking into the pile. DTF and heat transfer are also used on ITC fleece for short-run or multi-location programs.
