Jerzees 29M - Unisex DRI-POWER® ACTIVE T-Shirt - Kiwi

The Jerzees 29M is the Dri-Power Active T-Shirt, a 5.6 oz 50/50 cotton/polyester blank and one of the lowest-priced workhorse tees in the trade. What separates it from a plain cotton value tee is the Dri-Power finish: the 50/50 jersey is built to move moisture, so the shirt wicks and dries rather than soaking and clinging, which is why it is the tee a shop reaches for when a job needs an athletic-leaning blank at a rock-bottom unit cost. That makes it the default for team practice and PE shirts, sports and rec-league merch, camp and event giveaways, and any high-volume screen-print run where the cheapest wicking 50/50 tee decides the order.

The 29M prints like a value 50/50 tee with the one trap every blend carries: the polyester half wants to migrate under heat. For screen printing, which is the method this tee is built for, the smooth quarter-turned jersey and wide seamless body give a clean canvas that holds bold spot colour; on dark colours lay a grey poly-blocking underbase and cure at the lowest effective temperature so the dye does not bleed into the ink. For DTF, the transfer bonds to the jersey face at standard heat-press settings; on the darker colours use a low-bleed film and a controlled press temperature to keep migration out of the print. For embroidery, the 5.6 oz body is a stable base for a left-chest design with a cut-away backing. For DTG, the 50/50 blend migrates and prints more muted than a 100% cotton tee, so it is workable on the lighter colours with a blend pre-treat but is not the tee's strength. For vinyl and HTV, solid heat-transfer vinyl holds on the smooth face when pressed at a controlled temperature to limit dye bleed on the darks. Two methods do not apply: water-based discharge needs the dye to strip from 100% cotton, which the 50/50 polyester will not do, leaving only a faded tonal result, and the cotton-dominant blend is not a polyester sublimation substrate.

The reorder note specific to this style: the solid colours run a true 50/50 while Ash and Oxford carry more polyester, so confirm whether your colour is a solid or a heather before a repeat run, because the poly-rich colours migrate more and need a heavier underbase and a lower cure. Pair the 29M with the Gildan G800 DryBlend when a program cross-shops 50/50 tees on a similar weight, and step across to the Hanes 5170 EcoSmart when a job wants a recycled-poly 50/50 in the same value class. For a 100% cotton alternative at a close price, the Gildan G500 Heavy Cotton trades the wicking for a solid cotton print face.
