Gildan G460 - Unisex Performance® Core T-Shirt - Heather Sport Orange

The Gildan G460 Performance Core is a 4.7 oz 100% polyester performance tee with moisture-wicking and anti-microbial properties, positioned as the lighter, lower-cost alternative to the Gildan G420 in Gildan's polyester performance lineup. At 4.7 oz the G460 runs 0.3 oz lighter than the 5 oz G420, which makes it noticeably cooler on the body in outdoor and athletic settings. Both are 100% polyester and both take sublimation, but the G460 drops the branded AquaFX and Freshcare finishes of the G420 in exchange for a lower price point, which makes it the default when the program needs a sublimation-ready polyester blank at the lowest unit cost and the branded finish names are not a selling point to the end buyer.

The decoration strategy on the G460 is identical to any 100% polyester substrate. Sublimation is the headline method: white and light-coloured G460 tees take full-colour sublimation with vibrant, permanent, wash-fast results that cotton blanks cannot achieve. For DTF transfers, the polyester surface bonds with transfer adhesives at standard heat-press settings and the snag-resistant fabric keeps the film seated cleanly. For screen printing, plastisol prints on the polyester face, but the 100% poly content carries high dye migration risk on all coloured garments. Use a poly-blocking plastisol or low-bleed ink system and cure at the minimum effective temperature. Water-based and discharge inks do not work on polyester. For embroidery, the 4.7 oz jersey is lighter than most cotton tees, so use a tear-away or cut-away backing appropriate to the design size and stitch count. For vinyl/HTV, the polyester surface holds vinyl at lower press temperatures than cotton. Follow the film manufacturer's polyester-specific settings.

The G460 sits below the G420 on both weight and price. If your program needs a 100% polyester blank for sublimation, DTF, or moisture-wicking athletic use and the branded AquaFX/Freshcare finishes are not required, the G460 delivers at a lower per-unit cost. If the program needs the heavier 5 oz hand and the branded performance story, the G420 is the step up. For programs that need a cotton hand instead of a polyester performance feel, route to a cotton or cotton-blend blank like the Gildan G500 or the Bella+Canvas 3001C.
