Gildan G240 - Unisex Ultra Cotton® Long-Sleeve T-Shirt - Charcoal

The Gildan G240 is the Ultra Cotton long-sleeve tee, a 6.0 oz 100% US cotton heavyweight blank that runs the same Ultra Cotton body as the short-sleeve G200 with full-length sleeves and ribbed cuffs. It is the blank a shop reaches for when a job needs a substantial long-sleeve at a value open-end cotton price, which makes it the default for cold-weather workwear and uniform programs, layering and team long-sleeve runs, heavy-use crew and event tees, and any screen-print volume order where the extra coverage of a long sleeve and a fuller 6.0 oz body are the selling point over a lighter ring-spun long sleeve.

The long sleeve changes the print layout before anything else: beyond the chest and back, the G240 opens up the full forearm and the ribbed cuff as print real estate the short-sleeve G200 cannot offer, which suits sponsor sleeve hits, repeating sleeve prints, and cuff branding. After layout, plan for the same Ultra Cotton blend trap that runs across the heavyweight Gildan line: solid colours are 100% cotton, Sport Grey is 90/10 cotton/polyester, and the Safety colours jump to 50/50, so one design can land on three different substrates by colour. For screen printing, the 18-singles open-end yarn carries bold spot colour and heavy ink deposits well and the heavier 6.0 oz knit sits flat on the platen; on the 50/50 Safety colours lay a grey poly-blocking underbase and cure at the lowest effective temperature to stop the polyester dye from migrating, and watch ink build-up where a sleeve print crosses the cuff rib. For DTF, the transfer bonds to the cotton at standard heat-press settings; on the 50/50 colours use a low-bleed film and a controlled press temperature, and press the sleeve on a sleeve platen so the seam does not distort the transfer. For DTG, the 100% cotton solids pre-treat and print with good cotton-ink vibrancy, so favour the solids over the 50/50 colours. For water-based and discharge, the 100% cotton solids discharge cleanly while the polyester in the Safety colours will not. For embroidery, the heavyweight 6.0 oz body is a stable base for a left-chest or sleeve design with a cut-away backing. The open-end yarn runs more dot gain than a ring-spun long sleeve, so it favours bold artwork over the finest halftone detail.

The reorder note specific to this style: confirm whether your colour is a 100% cotton solid, a 90/10 Sport Grey, or a 50/50 Safety before a repeat run, because the substrate changes your underbase and cure, and account for the sleeve and cuff if your design runs down the arm. Pair the G240 with the short-sleeve Gildan G200 Ultra Cotton when a program wants both sleeve lengths on one consistent 6.0 oz body, and step up to the ring-spun Comfort Colors C6014 when a long-sleeve job wants a premium garment-dyed hand and finer print detail.
