Tie-Dye CD3500 - Unisex 100% Cotton Tank Top - PRIDE

The Tie-Dye CD3500 is the adult tie-dye tank top in the Colortone line, a 5.4 oz 100% cotton tank that ships already hand tie-dyed in the USA, built on the same heavyweight cotton body and reactive-dye process as the CD100 tee but cut sleeveless for warm-weather and festival programmes. It is the blank a shop reaches for when a summer tank run needs the authentic reactive tie-dye look rather than a printed tie-dye simulation, which makes it the default for festival and concert merch, beach and resort programmes, summer camp tanks, resale and boutique tie-dye lines, and any decorator who wants the heavyweight dyed cotton tank without starting from a solid blank and sending it out for dyeing.

Decorating a tie-dye tank is the same opacity problem as printing a tie-dye tee, with the added constraint that the print area sits between the armholes rather than across a full-width chest. For DTF, the transfer carries its own white layer and lays full-opacity colour over the busy dyed ground at standard heat-press settings, so it is the cleanest method on a multicolour surface; keep the press temperature controlled to limit reactive-dye bleed and centre the art between the armholes. For screen printing, lay a white underbase so the art reads over the dark dye, cure at the minimum effective temperature, and run a low-bleed underbase on the deep reds and purples that are most prone to migrating under heat, and size the screen to the narrower tank front panel. For DTG, pre-treat and print a white underbase through the printer, and favour bold high-contrast artwork over fine photo detail because the busy ground fights small detail on the narrower panel. For embroidery, the 5.4 oz cotton supports a left-chest design with a cut-away backing; pick thread colours that contrast the dyed ground. For vinyl and HTV, solid heat-transfer vinyl gives full opacity over the dyed pattern at a controlled temperature. Sublimation does not apply, since the body is 100% cotton and already piece-dyed.

Because every CD3500 is hand-dyed, the reorder note specific to this style is that the dye pattern is consistent by name but never identical piece to piece, so order a pattern and size run together rather than expecting an exact match to a previous batch. The narrower tank panel means artwork must be scaled down from a full-width tee file, so proof the placement on a tank body before a production run. Cross-shop the Tie-Dye CD100 when a programme wants the same 5.4 oz tie-dye body in a full tee, and the Dyenomite 200CY when the job wants a cyclone pinwheel spiral pattern on a tee body.
