Description
The Next Level 4600 is a 5.6 oz eco heavyweight blank built from 60% organic cotton and 40% recycled RPET polyester, with each shirt consuming roughly 4 recycled plastic bottles in its construction. The 20-singles yarn produces a natural melange texture across the colour range, which means even the nominally solid colourways carry a slight heathered variation. For programs where a sustainable material story is part of the product pitch, the 4600 provides a verifiable organic-cotton and recycled-poly credential without stepping down from a usable print weight.
For DTF heat transfers, the 60/40 blend bonds reliably across the 4600 colour range. The heavier 5.6 oz body is more stable under the heat press than lighter fashion tees, reducing the lift and edge-curl issues seen on 4.2 oz substrates. For screen printing with plastisol, the 40% RPET polyester content creates dye migration risk on red, bright, and reactive-dye colours. Use a low-bleed poly-block underbase and cure at the minimum effective temperature. On white and Natural colourways, no underbase is needed. For DTG, the 60% organic cotton content accepts pretreat well on light and medium grounds; on dark colourways, apply a full white underbase at standard pretreat settings. The 20-singles melange construction is slightly coarser than ring-spun fine-jersey, so bold art and spot-colour work performs better than fine halftone detail. For embroidery, the 5.6 oz body provides adequate stability for left-chest placements. Use a cut-away backing for larger back placements to prevent distortion on the melange knit.

The 4600's colour range is intentionally narrow at 8 colourways, most of which carry the melange effect. Confirm available stock for your full size run before placing a large order, as narrower colour ranges can see tighter inventory on extended sizes.

Decoration Method Compatibility
How this blank performs across popular decoration methods.
| Method | Compatible | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| DTF Transfer | ✓ | 60/40 organic cotton/RPET poly blend bonds reliably at standard DTF press settings; the 5.6 oz body is stable under the press with less edge-curl risk than lighter fashion tees |
| Screen Print (Plastisol) | ✓ | White and Natural colourways: no underbase required. Red, bright, and reactive-dye colours: low-bleed poly-block underbase required due to 40% RPET polyester; cure at minimum effective temperature |
| DTG | ✓ | 60% organic cotton accepts pretreat on light and mid grounds; full white underbase on dark colourways; bold spot-colour performs better than fine halftone on 20-singles melange surface |
| Embroidery | ✓ | 5.6 oz body stable for left-chest placements; use cut-away backing for larger back placements to prevent distortion on the melange knit construction |
| Vinyl / HTV | ✓ | Standard HTV at normal temp and pressure; melange surface is slightly textured so ensure firm even press contact |
| Screen Print (Water-based / Discharge) | ✗ | 40% RPET polyester limits water-based and discharge results; route to plastisol with poly-block underbase on coloured garments |
| Sublimation | ✗ | 60% cotton majority does not hold disperse dye; sublimation requires near-100% polyester substrate |

| Color Group | Blend | Print Consideration |
