Bella + Canvas 3501T - Toddler Jersey Long Sleeve T-Shirt - Heather Dark Gray

The Bella + Canvas 3501T is the Toddler Jersey Long-Sleeve Tee, a 4.2 oz jersey knit in 100% Airlume combed and ring-spun cotton on the solids, the soft, smooth toddler long-sleeve a decorator reaches for when a kids' run wants the same retail-soft Bella hand the adults get rather than a coarse mass-market toddler blank. It is the tee for family and sibling sets, school spirit and daycare programs, holiday and birthday runs, and any decorated batch that pairs toddler sizes with the adult 3501 long-sleeve. The body is a smooth 4.2 oz jersey at 32 singles with a crew neck, a long sleeve, side seams, a smaller toddler front panel and a tear-away label. The size range runs 2T through 5T, in seven colours: White, Black, Navy and Pink as 100% cotton solids, plus Heather Columbia Blue and Heather Dark Gray as 52/48 heathers and Heather Athletic at 90/10, so the solids print like a full-cotton tee and the heathers carry a little poly.

The 3501T decorates by colour, since the solids and the heathers are different fabrics. On the 100% cotton solids the smooth Airlume face is a standout surface for direct print, and the only real adjustment is the smaller toddler front panel, so size art down and centre it. For DTG, the cotton solids take a sharp, saturated print straight onto the smooth face, one of the best toddler surfaces for direct print, with a white underbase only on Black and Navy. For water-based and discharge, the 100% cotton solids take a genuine soft, no-feel print that sits in the fabric, ideal for a soft hand against toddler skin, but this only applies to the solids, since the heathers carry polyester. For screen printing with plastisol, the cotton solids run a crisp print with no poly-block needed and a soft flexible ink for the small panel; the 52/48 heathers want a white poly-block low-bleed and a reduced cure to hold back migration. For DTF, a small, soft transfer bonds clean across every colour, the most consistent route on the heathers and a clean route on the solids, sized down for the toddler panel. For embroidery, keep a small, light left-chest design over a soft cut-away backing so the stitch and stabiliser stay gentle against toddler skin. For vinyl, a small stretch HTV presses cleanly. Sublimation does not apply, since the cotton-dominant bodies are piece-dyed.

The reorder note specific to this style: treat the 3501T solids as 100% cotton, so lead with DTG and discharge on the solids for the softest hand against toddler skin, run a crisp plastisol with no poly-block, and size art down for the smaller toddler panel. On the heathers, default to DTF or a white poly-block low-bleed under plastisol, since they carry poly and will not discharge.
