Port & Company is the value-tier decorated apparel brand in the wholesale channel, positioned below Gildan and Hanes on cost per unit for decorators whose programs are driven primarily by price. Screen printers bidding on commodity event merchandise, high-volume fundraiser tees, and single-use promotional giveaways specify Port & Company when the margin on the decoration job depends on sourcing the lowest available blank cost. The PC61 Essential Tee and PC78H Core Fleece Hoodie are the two most ordered Port & Company styles in the decorator channel.

Port & Company PC61 Essential Tee for Value-Tier Screen Print Programs

The PC61 Essential Tee is Port & Company's core t-shirt blank: 6.1 oz, 100% cotton, open-end yarn construction. The heavier 6.1 oz weight is a meaningful spec on value-tier blanks because a heavier weight provides a thicker, more opaque print surface that requires fewer ink passes for full coverage on dark garments. Open-end yarn at 6.1 oz holds plastisol ink at standard mesh counts (110 to 160 for spot colors) with reliable results. For high-volume screen print jobs where the selling point to the client is cost, the PC61 delivers an acceptable print surface at the lowest blank price point available in a major brand. The PC61 is not the right choice for DTG programs; the coarser open-end yarn surface produces inconsistent ink absorption that degrades halftone detail compared to ring-spun alternatives.

Port & Company PC78H Core Fleece Hoodie for Bulk Hoodie Programs

The PC78H Core Fleece Hoodie is Port & Company's value-tier hoodie blank: a 7.8 oz cotton-poly fleece blend positioned below the Gildan 18500 Heavy Blend on cost. The PC78H accepts plastisol screen printing and DTF transfers at standard fleece settings. For bulk fundraiser hoodie programs, school spirit orders where the per-unit cost to the end buyer is the primary concern, and charitable donation programs, the PC78H provides a functional decorated hoodie at a lower blank cost than the Gildan 18500. The PC62H offers a matching crewneck sweatshirt at the same price tier, allowing programs to offer both silhouettes under a single low price point.

When to Choose Port & Company vs Gildan for a Decoration Program

The Gildan G500 and 18500 Heavy Blend are the industry default blanks for high-volume screen print programs because they offer the best combination of price, sizing consistency, and print surface reliability at scale. Port & Company blanks are the right choice when the client's program demands the absolute lowest blank cost and print surface quality is a secondary concern: single-use event giveaways, large charitable distributions, or programs where the decoration budget does not support even Gildan pricing. For reorder programs, multi-season accounts, and any job where sizing consistency across dye lots is a requirement, Gildan's tighter spec tolerances make it the more reliable choice over Port & Company.
