C2 Sport C5100 - Performance T-Shirt - Vegas Gold

The C2 Sport C5100 is a 3.5 oz 100% polyester performance tee with moisture-management and antimicrobial odor protection, the budget entry in the wholesale poly performance blank market. The C5100 runs a classic loose fit from XS through 3XL with a self-fabric collar and tear-away label, positioning it as the low-cost alternative to the Sport-Tek ST350 and Team 365 TT11 for programs where unit cost drives the buy. At $4.54 starting, the C5100 undercuts both the ST350 ($6.60) and TT11 ($5.03) while delivering the same 100% polyester substrate that sublimation programs require.

The 100% polyester substrate opens the full range of poly-compatible decoration methods. For sublimation, the C5100 takes full-colour sublimation on white and light-coloured garments with vibrant, permanent results, since the dye bonds directly into the polyester fibre. For DTF transfers, the polyester surface bonds well with transfer adhesives at standard press settings across the full colour card including darks. For screen printing, plastisol prints on the poly face, but 100% polyester carries the highest dye migration risk of any substrate. Use a poly-blocking underbase and cure at the minimum effective temperature on all coloured garments without exception. The C5100 does not have PosiCharge colour-lock like the ST350, so migration management is entirely on the printer. For embroidery, the 3.5 oz fabric is lightweight, so use a cut-away backing for stability on left-chest placements. For vinyl/HTV, the polyester surface holds vinyl at standard settings for names and numbers.

The C5100 competes with the Team 365 TT11 Zone Performance and the Sport-Tek ST350 PosiCharge Competitor in the wholesale performance tee market. The C5100 at $4.54 is the lowest-cost 100% polyester performance blank in the channel, which makes it the default for high-volume programs where per-unit cost is the primary decision driver. The TT11 at $5.03 adds UPF 40+ sun protection and cationic dyes. The ST350 at $6.60 adds PosiCharge colour-lock that reduces dye migration on screen-printed garments. If you are sublimating on white or running DTF across the colour card, the C5100 delivers the same polyester substrate at the lowest price point. If you are screen printing on darks and migration control matters, the ST350's PosiCharge finish justifies the premium. TheClothingSpace stocks the C5100 at wholesale pricing with bulk discounts that increase as case and unit quantities rise, among the lowest prices online for this style, with fast US shipping on stocked colours.
