Bella + Canvas 3001ECO - Unisex Jersey Eco Tee - Black

The Bella + Canvas 3001ECO is the Unisex Jersey Eco Tee, a 4.2 oz 65/35 recycled poly/cotton body cut on the same pattern as the best-selling 3001, the blank a decorator reaches for when a programme wants a 100% recycled tee with the familiar 3001 fit rather than a conventional cotton or a triblend. It is the sustainable tee for eco and B Corp brands, festival and event merch with a recycled story, school and corporate sustainability programmes, and the boutique and group runs that buy a recycled-content tee by the dozen. The body is 4.2 oz of 65% recycled polyester / 35% recycled Airlume combed and ring-spun cotton spun to 32 singles, where the recycled polyester comes from PET bottles and the recycled cotton from combed ring-spun scraps, cut to a unisex retail fit with a crew neck, side seams, a tear-away label and the same cut as the 3001. The size range runs XS through 3XL, in three colours: White, Navy and Black, all of them the same 65/35 recycled body.

The 3001ECO decorates as a poly-majority recycled blend, not a 100% cotton tee, which sets the rules: the 65% recycled polyester carries dye that migrates under heat and the 35% recycled cotton holds the print, so lead with a transfer or a low-bleed ink and treat it like a poly-rich blend rather than a pure-cotton ground. For DTF, the transfer bonds to the blended face and presses clean across the whole colour range, the standout and most colour-consistent route on the recycled body. For DTG, the 35% recycled cotton takes ink, so run the poly-blend pre-treat and a measured ink lay and expect a slightly muted, vintage-soft result in keeping with the recycled blend; favour DTF when a design needs full vibrancy. For screen printing with plastisol, the 65% recycled polyester migrates under a hot cure, so run a low-bleed ink and a poly-blocking underbase, keep the deposit standard and the cure moderate so dye does not ghost into the print. For vinyl, a flexible HTV presses for names and numbers and flexes with the jersey. Water-based and discharge inks do not apply, since the blend is only 35% cotton, so discharge cannot strip enough dye and reads patchy on the poly-majority ground. Embroidery does not apply, since the lightweight 4.2 oz single jersey is too light and stretchy to embroider cleanly without puckering. Sublimation is not a reliable route, since the recycled polyester is not a white base and the 35% cotton will not hold disperse dye.

The reorder note specific to this style: treat it as a 65/35 recycled poly-majority blend, so default to DTF for clean colour or a low-bleed plastisol with a poly-blocking underbase, and expect DTG to read soft and vintage on the 35% cotton. The recycled body runs the same 3001 cut, so sizing carries straight over from a 3001 programme, which makes it an easy swap when a buyer wants a recycled tee on a familiar fit. Bella + Canvas holds consistent sizing and jersey construction across runs, which keeps the retail fit stable reorder to reorder.
