Description
Bella+Canvas 3001C. 4.2 oz/yd² Airlume combed and ringspun 100% cotton. Solid colors are 100% cotton. Heather and athletic heather colorways are a cotton/polyester blend; exact ratio varies by colorway. Airlume is Bella+Canvas's own yarn specification: short fibers and surface fuzz are combed out before spinning. The resulting yarn is tighter and pill-resistant with a smooth face. Side-seamed construction, shoulder-to-shoulder taping, tear-away label. Unisex crew neck. XS through 3XL, 100+ colorways.
Retail silhouette with a slight taper through the torso. Hits at the hip. Runs slightly slim in the shoulders and chest compared to a traditional unisex cut. Size up one for full-front DTF work on S and M — the taper affects placement at smaller sizes. Shoulder-to-shoulder width is the most reliable sizing reference for fit decisions across a full size run.
DTF at 320–330°F, 5–7 seconds, medium pressure. Smooth ringspun face gives adhesive a clean bond. Fine-line and photo-quality prints come out sharp. No pre-treatment required on solid colors. Use a Teflon sheet when pressing heather and poly-blend colorways. Gang sheet jobs work cleanly; 4.2 oz fabric holds flat under the platen without bunching.
Screen printing: solid-color 3001Cs take water-based and plastisol inks well. The tight cotton face shows discharge and soft-hand finishes cleanly. Embroidery is workable on this blank; backing is recommended for anything larger than a small left-chest logo at this fabric weight.
Cold wash, tumble dry low for DTF transfer longevity. Hot wash degrades adhesive faster on any blank. Color depth is consistent across solid colorways. Dye-lot consistency is reliable within the same production season. Mid-season reorders may not match earlier batches. Order enough to cover the full run.
True Black and White are consistent across high-volume orders. For the same cut in heather colorways on a CVC cotton/polyester blend, use the 3001CVC. Youth sizing: 3001B. For a heavier classic-body blank, compare with the Gildan G500 at 5.3 oz/yd².

Decoration Method Compatibility
How this blank performs across popular decoration methods.
| Method | Compatible | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| DTF Transfer | ✓ | Tight Airlume weave bonds well with transfer adhesives and holds clean edge definition on fine detail |
| DTG | ✓ | White prints at full vibrancy without pre-treatment on most machines; the Airlume face holds photoreal detail with less ink, pre-treat coloured blanks |
| Screen Print (Plastisol) | ✓ | Lightweight 4.2 oz body wants reduced squeegee pressure; poly-block the 52/48 heather and CVC colours on dark prints |
| Screen Print (Water-based) | ✓ | 100% cotton solids absorb water-based and discharge ink well; the 52/48 heathers limit discharge effectiveness |
| Embroidery | ✓ | 4.2 oz weave wants a topping stabiliser on high-stitch-count front placements |
| Vinyl / HTV | ✓ | Stable press surface at standard time and temp |
| Sublimation | ✗ | 100% cotton solids are not a sublimation substrate; only the 52/48 heathers take a faded result |

Fabric Blend by Color Group
Not all colorways share the same fabric composition. Check the blend before ordering for decoration jobs where substrate matters.
| Color Group | Blend | Print Consideration |
|---|---|---|
| Solid colours | 100% Airlume cotton | Standard ink and pre-treat settings; best cotton-ink DTG vibrancy |
| Heather and CVC colours | 52/48 cotton/polyester | Nearly half polyester; poly-block on dark prints and reduce cure temp |
| Ash | 99/1 cotton/polyester | Negligible poly content; prints close to 100% cotton |
| Athletic Heather | 90/10 cotton/polyester | Minor dye migration risk; standard underbase on darks |
