Hanes 518T - Men's Tall Beefy-T® - Deep Red
Selected Color: Deep Red9 colors

Description
The Hanes 518T Beefy-T is a 6.1 oz ring-spun cotton tall-fit t-shirt built for buyers who need a heavyweight blank in LT through 4XLT sizing. The tall cut adds 3 inches to the body length and 1 inch to the sleeve compared to the standard 5180, which gives decorators more usable print area above the hem and keeps the hem at the right break point on taller wearers. For uniform programs, team kits, and promotional orders where the garment needs to fit a physically taller workforce, the 518T removes the common complaints about short hemlines and sleeves that ride up under a jacket.
For screen printing, the 6.1 oz ring-spun cotton surface on solid colour 518T blanks holds plastisol ink well. The high stitch density of ring-spun cotton reduces ink bleed compared to open-end yarns, which means tighter halftone dots and cleaner fine-line work. White, Navy, Deep Royal, Deep Red, and Black are 100% cotton and carry no dye migration risk. Ash is 99/1 cotton-poly, Light Steel is 90/10, and Charcoal Heather is 60/40 cotton-poly. On the 60/40 Charcoal Heather, use a low-bleed plastisol underbase to prevent dye migration before curing. For DTF heat transfers, the ring-spun cotton surface bonds consistently with DTF adhesives across the full colour range. Press at 300-320 F for 10-15 seconds with firm pressure. For embroidery, the 6.1 oz weight is solid enough for left-chest logo work with a cut-away backing to control stitch registration on the jersey knit. Vinyl and heat-transfer vinyl press at standard settings.

The 518T shares the same Beefy-T cotton and construction as the standard 5180 short-sleeve tee, so decorators who already run the 5180 on their presses can use the same screens, squeegees, and transfer files without adjustment. Sizing is consistent across production runs, which matters on reorder programs where colours and sizes need to match an existing decorated inventory. TheClothingSpace stocks the 518T 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 colours.

Decoration Method Compatibility
How this blank performs across popular decoration methods.
| Method | Compatible | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| DTF Transfer | ✓ | Ring-spun cotton surface bonds consistently with DTF adhesives across the full colour card; press at 300-320 F for 10-15 seconds with firm pressure |
| Screen Print (Plastisol) | ✓ | High-stitch-density ring-spun cotton holds plastisol cleanly on solid colours; use a low-bleed underbase on Charcoal Heather (60/40) to prevent dye migration |
| Embroidery | ✓ | 6.1 oz weight handles left-chest and back placements with a cut-away backing for stitch registration control on jersey knit |
| Vinyl / HTV | ✓ | Press at standard time and temp for cotton; the ring-spun surface accepts HTV cleanly without adhesion issues |
| Screen Print (Water-based) | ✓ | Suitable on 100% cotton solid colours; avoid on Charcoal Heather 60/40 where polyester content limits water-based results |
| DTG | ✓ | Ring-spun cotton solids pretreat well for DTG; white underbase required on dark grounds; avoid on Charcoal Heather 60/40 where poly content mutes results |
| Sublimation | ✗ | Cotton-dominant fabric cannot hold disperse dye at full vibrancy; only the 60/40 Charcoal Heather would sublimate and only at faded pastel levels |
