Anvil 882L - Women's Lightweight Tank - Red

The Anvil 882L is a 4.3 oz women's lightweight tank built on 100% combed ring-spun cotton spun to 30 singles, a semi-fitted body with bound rib trim at the neck and armhole, double-needle bottom hem, side seams, and a TearAway label for resale programs. It carries OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certification. The print shop context for this tank is a cotton body at a price point that keeps cost-per-decorated-unit low on studio runs, event orders, and women's team programs where the buyer wants a combed cotton substrate, not a sheer poly drape. The size range runs S through 2XL. The three heather colorways carry meaningfully different blends from the solids: Heather Gray is 90/10 cotton/poly, while Heather Dark Gray and Heather Graphite are 35/65 cotton/poly, poly-majority substrates that behave like a performance fabric under heat and discharge chemistry. Ordering a mixed-color run that crosses from solids into the dark heathers means two substrate types on the same job, and that needs two different underbase and cure strategies.

For DTF, the transfer bonds across every colorway at standard heat-press settings and is the most forgiving route on the dark heather colors where the 65% poly content makes other methods unpredictable. For DTG, the 100% cotton solids and Heather Gray (90/10) pre-treat and print with a clean, vibrant result; use a white underbase on Black, Navy, and the deep grounds. The Heather Dark Gray and Heather Graphite at 35/65 poly-cotton do not respond well to DTG without a dedicated poly pretreat and strong underbase, so route those colorways to DTF or screen print instead. For screen printing with plastisol, the solid cotton colors take a clean ink deposit; the 90/10 Heather Gray wants a low-bleed poly-block underbase, and the 35/65 dark heathers need a strong poly-block underbase and a lower cure temperature to avoid dye migration. Water-based and discharge inks work on the 100% cotton solids, printing soft to a true tone; the Heather Gray at 90/10 gives a near-full discharge; the dark heathers at 35/65 will not fully discharge and are not suitable for water-based discharge. For embroidery, the lightweight 4.3 oz semi-fitted body handles a moderate left-chest design over a cut-away backing; keep stitch density appropriate for the lighter body weight so the fabric does not pucker. For vinyl and HTV, a light flexible HTV at a controlled temperature presses cleanly on all colorways and moves with the drape. Sublimation is not applicable since the cotton-majority solids and Heather Gray are not polyester substrates, though the 35/65 dark heathers carry enough poly for sublimation to print faded and muted rather than vibrant.

The key planning note for decorators: treat the Heather Dark Gray and Heather Graphite as a different substrate from the rest of the color range. At 35/65 cotton/poly, they migrate under heat like a performance poly, which calls for a poly-block underbase, lower cure temps, and DTF as the default route for mixed-color studio or event programs that include those shades. The solid cotton colors and Heather Gray (90/10) print clean with standard screen or DTG methods. If the program is all-cotton solids, the 882L at this price point runs lower per-unit cost than comparable combed ring-spun tanks.
