Description
The Bella + Canvas 970 is the Women's Nylon/Spandex Sports Bra, a double-layered 90/10 nylon/spandex racerback bra with a form-fitting cut, the blank a decorator reaches for when a women's programme wants a performance sports bra to match a fitness set rather than a cotton crop or a tank. It is the sports bra for fitness and studio programmes, gym and wellness retail, team and event activewear, and the boutique and group runs that buy a matching performance piece by the dozen. The body is a double-layered 90% nylon / 10% spandex knit at a 7.5 oz/yd2 fabric, built form-fitting with a racerback, a 5/8 inch binding at the neck and armholes, a 3/4 inch elastic bottom opening, side seams and a tear-away label. The size range runs S through L, in two solid colours: White and Black, both of them the same double-layered 90/10 nylon/spandex body.
The 970 decorates as a stretch performance bra, not a cotton tee, which sets the rules: the body is 90% nylon with no cotton, it is double-layered and form-fitting with binding around every edge, so any mark stays small and centred on the front panel and is applied with a method that bonds to nylon and flexes with the stretch. For DTF, a soft low-bulk stretch film bonds to the nylon face when pressed at a low temperature for the heat-sensitive nylon, the standout route for a small front logo that moves with the body. For vinyl, a stretch HTV pressed cool flexes with the nylon/spandex and suits a small wordmark or logo on the front panel. DTG does not apply, since the body has no cotton, so DTG ink will not bond or cure on the nylon. Screen printing with plastisol does not apply, since the form-fitting double-layered stretch has no flat platen panel and a plastisol deposit cracks on the high stretch even with a nylon-bonding catalyst. Water-based and discharge inks do not apply, since there is no cotton to discharge and nylon will not absorb water-based ink. Embroidery does not apply, since the double-layered stretch nylon puckers and the hoop pierces the elastic body with no stable flat panel. Sublimation does not apply, since nylon is not a polyester substrate and will not hold disperse dye.

The reorder note specific to this style: treat it as a stretch nylon performance bra, so default to a soft low-bulk DTF film or a stretch HTV pressed at a low temperature, and keep the mark small and centred on the front panel clear of the binding. There is no cotton in the body, so plastisol, water-based and DTG do not apply, and the double-layered stretch rules out embroidery; a heat-applied film is the only practical route. Bella + Canvas holds consistent sizing and double-layered construction across runs, which keeps the form-fitting cut stable reorder to reorder. Cross-shop the Bella + Canvas 810 Women's Cotton Spandex Fitness Pant for a matching form-fitted bottom, and the Bella + Canvas 6682 Women's Racerback Cropped Tank for a cotton-poly racerback layer over the bra.

Decoration Method Compatibility
How this blank performs across popular decoration methods.
| Method | Compatible | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| DTF Transfer | ✓ | a soft low-bulk stretch film bonds to the nylon face when pressed at a low temperature for the heat-sensitive nylon, the standout route for a small front logo that moves with the stretch body |
| Vinyl / HTV | ✓ | a stretch HTV pressed cool flexes with the nylon/spandex and suits a small wordmark or logo on the front panel clear of the binding |
| DTG | ✗ | the body has no cotton, so DTG ink will not bond or cure on the 90% nylon, making DTG unsuitable on the 970 |
| Screen Print (Plastisol) | ✗ | the form-fitting double-layered stretch has no flat platen panel and a plastisol deposit cracks on the high stretch even with a nylon-bonding catalyst, so screen printing is impractical on the 970 |
| Screen Print (Water-based / Discharge) | ✗ | there is no cotton to discharge and nylon will not absorb water-based ink, so water-based and discharge are not routes on the 970 |
| Embroidery | ✗ | the double-layered stretch nylon puckers and the hoop pierces the elastic body with no stable flat panel, so embroidery is not suited to the 970 |
| Sublimation | ✗ | nylon is not a polyester substrate and will not hold disperse dye, so sublimation is not a reliable route on the 970 |

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 |
|---|---|---|
| Light ground (White) | 90% nylon / 10% spandex, double-layered, 7.5 oz fabric | The White nylon ground takes a small low-bulk DTF film or a stretch HTV pressed cool; keep the temperature low for the heat-sensitive nylon and the mark small and centred clear of the binding |
| Dark ground (Black) | 90% nylon / 10% spandex, double-layered, 7.5 oz fabric | The Black nylon ground reads a small bright DTF or stretch HTV logo cleanly; press at a low temperature so the nylon is not scorched and keep the deposit thin so it flexes with the double-layered stretch |
