Bella + Canvas 1080 - Women's Baby Rib Tank - Baby Blue

The Bella + Canvas 1080 is the Women's Baby Rib Tank, the heavyweight 1x1 rib body in a slim sleeveless cut with wide straps, the blank a decorator reaches for when a women's program wants a structured, fitted rib tank with real surface texture rather than a drapy flowy tank or a sheer lightweight mini-rib tank. It is the tank for any decorated women's order pitched at a fitted, textured retail look: boutique and resale lines, women's fashion and merch programs, festival and event runs, and the bachelorette, bridal-party and group orders that buy a fitted rib tank by the dozen. The body is a substantial 5.8 oz of 100% combed and ring-spun cotton spun to 30 singles in a 1x1 baby rib, the rib knit that gives the tank its stretchy, ribbed surface and its close, contoured drape. The slim fit, wide straps, scoop neck and side-seamed construction shape a fitted women's line, and the tear-away label finishes it for resale. The size range runs S through 2XL. Most colours run the 100% cotton rib, while the Deep Heather is 52% cotton / 48% polyester.

The 1080 decorates as a 100% cotton body, so the full cotton toolkit applies, but the ribbed, stretchy surface sets the rule for every method: keep the artwork bold, since fine detail can break across the rib channels, and use a stretch-tolerant ink or film so the print moves with the rib rather than cracking. For DTG, the cotton takes the ink bright and clean, brightest on the lighter grounds and needing a white underbase on the dark colours; press the platen firm so the ink beds evenly into the rib. For DTF, the transfer bonds at standard heat-press settings, the most forgiving route on the textured surface, so press firm so the film seats into the rib. For screen printing with plastisol, the 100% cotton colours hold a clean plastisol with no migration, while the Deep Heather 52/48 wants a poly-blocking underbase against the polyester; run a bold halftone since fine lines break across the ribs. For water-based and discharge inks, the 100% cotton colours discharge bright and soft into the rib, the texture-on-texture look the fabric suits, while the Deep Heather 52/48 only partially discharges. For embroidery, the 5.8 oz rib is sturdy but stretches, so back the front panel with a cut-away stabiliser and hold a moderate design so the rib does not distort. For vinyl, a flexible stretch HTV presses cleanly so it does not lift or crack over the rib channels. Sublimation does not apply, since the cotton body will not hold disperse dye.

The reorder note specific to this style: treat it as a 100% cotton tank with a textured rib surface, so keep artwork bold for clean edges, press firm so the ink or film beds into the rib, and lay a poly-blocking underbase only on the Deep Heather.
