Gildan G460B - Youth Performance® Youth Core T-Shirt - Charcoal

The Gildan G460B is the youth version of the Gildan G460 Performance Core tee, a 4.7 oz 100% polyester body with moisture-wicking, antimicrobial, and snag-resistant properties built for youth athletic and team programmes. It is the tee a shop reaches for when a youth programme needs a poly performance blank that handles sublimation on light colours and DTF across the full card, which makes the G460B the choice for youth sports teams and leagues, school field-day and camp programmes, youth race and athletic events, and any decorator printing performance wear for under-18 programmes.

A 100% polyester body changes the decoration rulebook compared to a cotton tee. For sublimation, the G460B takes full-colour dye-sublimation on White and light sport colours, with the dye bonding permanently into the poly fibre for a no-hand full-bleed print; dark base colours block the sublimation dye and must be routed to DTF or screen. For DTF, the transfer bonds cleanly to the poly face across the full colour card including darks and heather sport colours; DTF is the primary method when the base colour is too dark for sublimation. For screen printing, plastisol prints on the poly face but dye migration is the key risk: the poly dye can bleed up through the ink film at cure temperature, especially on Sport Scarlet Red, Safety Green, and the saturated sport colours, so run a low-bleed poly-blocking underbase and cure at the lowest effective temperature. For embroidery, the 4.7 oz poly body supports a left-chest logo with a cut-away backing; keep the stitch count moderate on the lighter youth body. For vinyl and HTV, solid heat-transfer vinyl presses clean at a controlled temperature. DTG does not apply, since the body is 100% polyester and will not hold a water-based pretreat coat. Discharge does not apply, since there is no cotton dye to strip.

The reorder note specific to this style: because the G460B is 100% polyester, the colour stays locked in the fibre and does not fade or shift across wash cycles, which makes reorders colour-consistent run to run. The snag-resistant finish means the garment holds up through the abrasion of active youth wear without pilling or snagging, which keeps the print surface clean across multiple washes. The heather sport colours carry a slightly higher dye-migration risk than the solid sport colours because the heather yarns are dyed at a higher saturation, so use the strongest poly-block and lowest cure on those. Pair the G460B with the adult Gildan G460 for a matched youth-and-adult performance programme.
