Description
The Champion CW26 Double Dry is a 4.1 oz 100% polyester interlock long-sleeve performance tee with moisture-wicking construction, Fresh IQ odor protection, and a 50+ UPF rating. The interlock knit provides a smooth, stable surface that holds its shape under a heat press, and the reflective Champion C logo on the left sleeve makes this a branded blank with recognized retail value for team and spirit programs.
For sublimation, the CW26's 100% polyester construction is the primary reason to choose it. Sublimation bonds to polyester fibers and produces full-color, photographic-quality prints on white and very light colorways. On White, the interlock surface accepts full-saturation sublimation without ink bleed, and the smooth knit structure holds fine detail cleanly. On colored CW26 garments, sublimation is not viable because the base color shows through the dye transfer. For DTF heat transfers, the 100% polyester interlock bonds well with low-melt DTF adhesives designed for synthetic fabrics; press at 285-300 F for 10-12 seconds with firm pressure and allow a 24-hour peel-cure before wash. For screen printing on colored CW26 garments, 100% polyester requires a low-bleed poly-block underbase and the lowest effective cure temperature to prevent dye migration. The moisture-wicking topical finish means plastisol adhesion may vary by fabric lot; run a wash-adhesion test before committing to a production run. Embroidery on the CW26 works well at left-chest and sleeve placements. Use a tear-away or cut-away backing on the interlock substrate to stabilize the stitch field. The Champion C logo at the left cuff means any custom embroidered chest placement should sit on the right chest or center to avoid competing with the existing mark.

The CW26 is produced with consistent interlock knit construction across production runs. Because the topical moisture-wicking finish is applied after knitting, wash compatibility with plastisol and DTF adhesives should be verified by test before large production runs. For sublimation programs, the White colorway is the only substrate that produces full-color results. TheClothingSpace stocks the CW26 at wholesale pricing with bulk discounts that increase with case and unit quantity, among the lowest prices online for this style, with fast US shipping on stocked colors.

Decoration Method Compatibility
How this blank performs across popular decoration methods.
| Method | Compatible | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Sublimation | ✓ | 100% polyester interlock is the primary sublimation substrate; full-color photographic results on White only; base color blocks transfer on all other colorways |

| Screen Print (Plastisol) | ✓ | 100% polyester requires low-bleed poly-block underbase and lowest effective cure temp to prevent dye migration; topical wicking finish may affect adhesion, test wash before production run |
| Embroidery | ✓ | Interlock substrate supports left-chest and sleeve embroidery with tear-away or cut-away backing; avoid left cuff (Champion C logo present); use right chest or center chest for custom marks |
| Vinyl / HTV | ✓ | Light HTV at low temperature bonds to polyester interlock; press firm; allow cool peel to confirm adhesion before full production |
| DTG | ✗ | 100% polyester does not retain DTG ink without significant chemistry adjustment; route to sublimation (white/light only), DTF, or screen printing |
| Screen Print (Water-based / Discharge) | ✗ | Water-based and discharge inks do not work on polyester; route to plastisol with poly-block underbase |
