Bella + Canvas 3001B - Infant Jersey Short Sleeve T-Shirt - Heather Athletic

The Bella + Canvas 3001B is the Infant Jersey Short-Sleeve Tee, the 4.2 oz 100% Airlume cotton body of the 3001 cut down to infant sizing, the blank a decorator reaches for when a baby order wants the same clean, smooth cotton print surface as the adult tee. It is the infant tee for any decorated order built on solid colours and soft prints: baby announcement and family-match sets, christening and milestone gifts, hospital and nursery merch, and the buyers who run a matching adult-and-baby range across the 3001 family. The body is a 4.2 oz jersey of 100% Airlume combed and ring-spun cotton spun to 32 singles on the solid colours, the same smooth print face as the adult 3001, with a crew neck, side seams and a tear-away label so there is no woven tag against a baby's skin. The size range runs 3-6M through 18-24M, in solids such as Black, Navy, True Royal, Red and Pink. Some colours run a different recipe: the Heather colours are a 52% cotton / 48% polyester CVC, and the Heather Athletic is a cotton-rich 90% cotton / 10% polyester, so the heathers print a little differently from the solid cotton.

The 3001B decorates as a 100% cotton jersey, the easiest substrate to print, and the small infant panel is the one constraint, keep art small and centred on the chest. For DTG, the smooth Airlume cotton face takes the ink opaque and sharp, holds fine detail on a small print, and needs only a white underbase on the dark grounds, and a DTG or water-based print gives the soft, no-feel hand that suits a garment worn against a baby's skin. For DTF, the transfer bonds at standard heat-press settings, a clean route for a small chest graphic and for mixed-colour batches. For screen printing with plastisol, the solid cotton body takes a crisp, opaque print with standard inks and a normal cure with no poly-blocking underbase, while the Heather CVC colours want a low-bleed underbase to manage the 48% poly, run a softer cure for a gentler hand on an infant tee. For water-based and discharge inks, the 100% cotton body discharges cleanly for the softest possible no-feel print, the route most decorators prefer on baby apparel; the heather blends read more muted. For embroidery, back the design with a cut-away stabiliser, and keep an infant design small and light rather than a dense crest. For vinyl, a standard HTV presses cleanly on the smooth cotton face. Sublimation does not apply, since cotton will not hold disperse dye and the tee is piece-dyed.

The reorder note specific to this style: treat it as a clean 100% cotton tee in infant sizing, so lean on DTG and water-based for the soft no-feel hand that suits baby apparel, run standard plastisol with no underbase on the solids, and add a low-bleed underbase only on the Heather CVC colours. Keep every placement small and centred for the infant panel.
