Description
The Bella + Canvas 6488 is the Women's Relaxed Jersey Tank, the 100% Airlume cotton body a decorator reaches for when a women's tank program wants a clean cotton face that takes full discharge and bright DTG, rather than the soft heathered triblend or the sheer poly drape of the flowy tanks. It is the tank for any decorated women's order pitched at a cotton-first retail look: boutique and resale lines, fitness and studio programs, festival and event merch, and the bachelorette, bridal-party and group runs that buy a soft tank by the dozen. The body is 4.2 oz of 100% Airlume combed and ring-spun cotton spun to a fine 32 singles, the smooth tight face that prints clean and discharges to a true tone. The relaxed fit drapes lightly, the scoop neck and side-seamed construction shape a clean retail line, and the tear-away label finishes it for resale. The size range runs S through 2XL. Every solid colour is 100% Airlume cotton, while the heather colours run a 52/48 cotton/poly blend.
The 6488 decorates like a smooth Airlume cotton tee, which opens the full soft-hand toolkit on the solids and sets one rule on the heathers. For DTG, the combed cotton face pre-treats and prints with strong vibrancy and a soft retail hand, brightest on the lighter colours and needing a white underbase on Black, Navy and the deep grounds; the smooth Airlume face is one of the better cotton surfaces for a clean graphic. For DTF, the transfer bonds to the cotton face at standard heat-press settings, the most forgiving route across the full colour range including the heathers. For water-based and discharge inks, the 100% cotton solids discharge and print with a soft in-the-shirt hand to a true tone, the natural match for a soft cotton tank; the heather colours at 52/48 give only a partial, muted discharge and want a poly-blocking underbase instead. For screen printing, the combed cotton takes plastisol cleanly, with a white underbase under light inks on the deep grounds. For embroidery, the lightweight 4.2 oz drapy tank is better suited to a moderate left-chest design over a cut-away backing than to a dense fill, so keep the stitch count sensible so the soft body does not pucker. For vinyl, a light flexible HTV presses cleanly at a controlled temperature and moves with the drape. Sublimation does not apply, since the cotton body is not a polyester substrate.

The reorder note specific to this style: lean on DTG and water-based on the smooth 100% Airlume cotton face for the cleanest, truest result on the solids, and remember the heather colours are the 52/48 exception where discharge reads only partially, so plan a poly-blocking underbase there. Cross-shop the Bella + Canvas 8430 Women's Triblend Racerback Tank when a program wants a soft, faded vintage triblend hand instead of the clean cotton face, and step across to the Bella + Canvas B8800 Women's Flowy Racerback Tank when a sheer poly drape and a specialty-fabric colour range decide the order over the cotton body.

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 cotton colours | 100% Airlume combed ring-spun cotton | Every solid colour is 100% cotton, so water-based and discharge print soft to a true tone and DTG runs vibrant directly on the smooth Airlume face |
| Heather colours | 52% cotton / 48% polyester | The heathers are a 52/48 blend, so they give only a partial, muted discharge; lay a poly-blocking underbase under light screen inks |
| Deep grounds | 100% Airlume combed ring-spun cotton | Black, Navy and the deep colours need a white underbase under light inks and on DTG print brightest with an underbase |
