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

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Bella+Canvas 3001C good for DTG printing?

Yes. The Bella+Canvas 3001C is one of the most tested DTG blanks in the US market. Its 100% Airlume combed ring-spun cotton gives a fine, uniform surface that holds photoreal detail. White 3001C prints at full vibrancy without pre-treatment on most machines; coloured blanks take standard pre-treatment. The 52/48 heather colours reduce cotton-ink vibrancy, so favour solid cotton colours for the best DTG results.

Is the Bella+Canvas 3001C worth the premium over an open-end blank like the Gildan G500?

It depends on the artwork. The 3001C's Airlume cotton is combed and ring-spun at 32 singles, so it takes fine halftones, small text, and photoreal DTG with more detail fidelity and less ink than the G500's carded open-end cotton. On bold one or two-colour event prints the wearer will not notice the difference, and the G500's lower unit cost wins. Let print detail and the end customer decide the blank.

Which Bella+Canvas 3001C colours are cotton-poly blends?

Solid 3001C colours are 100% Airlume cotton, but the heather and CVC colours are a 52% cotton / 48% polyester blend, Ash is 99% cotton / 1% polyester, and Athletic Heather is 90% cotton / 10% polyester. The 52/48 heathers are nearly half polyester, so use a poly-blocking underbase on coloured prints to control dye migration and confirm your colourway before a production run.

How is the Bella+Canvas 3001C sold by the case, and what is the case quantity?

The Bella+Canvas 3001C is available by the case or by the piece. Cartons are typically packed around 72 units (6 dozen), though packing varies by colour and size. Confirm current packing for your specific colour and size run before placing a large order so mixed-size programs are costed accurately.

What is the fabric weight, fit, and composition of the Bella+Canvas 3001C?

The Bella+Canvas 3001C is 4.2 oz/yd2, made from 100% Airlume combed and ring-spun cotton at 32 singles in solid colours, with a side-seamed unisex retail/slim fit and shoulder-to-shoulder taping. Heather and CVC colours are 52/48 cotton-poly, Ash is 99/1, and Athletic Heather is 90/10. Sizes run XS to 3XL, varying by colour.

Does TheClothingSpace offer bulk discounts on the Bella+Canvas 3001C?

Yes. TheClothingSpace stocks the Bella+Canvas 3001C at wholesale pricing with bulk discounts that increase as case and unit quantities rise, among the lowest prices online for this style. It is available by the case or the piece, and pricing improves on multi-case and full-program orders.
