Description
The Bella + Canvas B5001 is the Women's Stretch Rib Long-Sleeve T-Shirt, a substantial 5.8 oz 100% cotton body in a 1x1 baby-rib knit with a slim fit, the blank a decorator reaches for when a women's programme wants a fitted ribbed long-sleeve with a soft stretch and real body rather than a thin sheer rib or a relaxed jersey. It is the ribbed long-sleeve for boutique and resale lines, fitness, yoga and studio programmes, festival and event merch, and the bachelorette, bridal-party and group runs that buy a fitted cotton rib by the dozen. The body is 5.8 oz of 100% Airlume combed and ring-spun cotton spun to 32 singles, knit to a 1x1 baby rib that gives the soft stretch and fitted drape, cut to a slim fit with hemmed sleeves, a 3/8 inch neck binding and side seams. The size range runs S through 2XL, in four solid colours: Pink, Baby Blue, Black and Army, all of them a 100% cotton body with no heather poly blend to manage.
The B5001 decorates as a pure 100% cotton rib, so the full cotton method list is open with no poly split, and the 1x1 rib and the slim fit set where a print sits: keep art compact and centred on the flat front body so it moves with the rib, and lead with a flexible film or ink so the print does not crack across the rib texture. For DTG, the 100% cotton baby rib is a strong substrate; the ring-spun face holds photoreal detail, so press the rib smooth on the platen, with white printing at full vibrancy without pre-treatment and coloured grounds taking a standard pre-treat. For DTF, the transfer bonds to the cotton face and a soft flex film moves with the rib, the most colour-consistent route and a fast pick for a compact front placement. For screen printing with plastisol, the 5.8 oz rib has real body but still wants a light flattening pass on the rib texture to keep fine detail sharp, with a standard cotton deposit and no dye-migration worry on the pure-cotton body. For water-based and discharge, the 100% cotton discharges and absorbs water-based ink well for a soft in-the-garment hand, the route for a vintage soft-feel print. For vinyl, a light flexible HTV presses so it flexes with the rib rather than cracking. Embroidery does not apply, since the stretchy 1x1 rib distorts and puckers under a hoop even at this weight. Sublimation does not apply, since 100% cotton is not a sublimation substrate.

The reorder note specific to this style: it is a pure 100% cotton rib, so there is no heather poly split to track across runs, which keeps the print plan constant reorder to reorder; default to DTG or DTF for a compact front placement and lead with a flexible film or ink so the print moves with the rib. Bella + Canvas holds consistent sizing and rib construction across runs, which keeps the slim fit stable. Cross-shop the Bella + Canvas 6480 Women's Missy Widestrap Baby Rib Tank for the same 100% cotton baby rib in a sleeveless tank, and the Bella + Canvas B6450 Women's Relaxed Jersey Long-Sleeve Tee for a relaxed 100% cotton jersey long-sleeve.

Decoration Method Compatibility
How this blank performs across popular decoration methods.
| Method | Compatible | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| DTF Transfer | ✓ | the transfer bonds to the cotton face and a soft flex film moves with the 1x1 rib, the most colour-consistent route and a fast pick for a compact front placement |
| DTG | ✓ | the 100% cotton baby rib is a strong substrate; the ring-spun face holds photoreal detail, so press the rib smooth on the platen, with white at full vibrancy without pre-treatment and coloured grounds pre-treated |
| Screen Print (Plastisol) | ✓ | the 5.8 oz rib has real body but still wants a light flattening pass on the rib to keep fine detail sharp, with a standard cotton deposit and no dye-migration worry |
| Screen Print (Water-based / Discharge) | ✓ | the 100% cotton discharges and absorbs water-based ink well for a soft in-the-garment hand, the route for a vintage soft-feel print on the cotton rib |
| Vinyl / HTV | ✓ | a light flexible HTV presses so it flexes with the rib rather than cracking; keep the design compact and centred on the front body |
| Embroidery | ✗ | the stretchy 1x1 rib distorts and puckers under a hoop even at this weight, so embroidery is not suited to the ribbed long-sleeve |
| Sublimation | ✗ | 100% cotton is not a sublimation substrate, so sublimation is not a reliable route on the B5001 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 |
|---|---|---|
| Light grounds (Pink, Baby Blue) | 100% Airlume combed and ring-spun cotton, 5.8 oz, 32 singles | The light cotton rib grounds print without a heavy underbase, so white and light art reads clean; press the rib smooth for DTG and discharge prints soft for a vintage hand |
| Dark grounds (Black, Army) | 100% Airlume combed and ring-spun cotton, 5.8 oz, 32 singles | The dark cotton rib grounds want a white underbase for plastisol opacity and a standard pre-treat for DTG; discharge prints especially soft on the dark 100% cotton rib |
