Guide
What is Blank Apparel?
DTG, DTF, and Ultra DTF are available on eligible products. Eligible tops support both front and back printing. Sleeve printing is not currently available, and pants and shorts are not printable.
Quick Answer
A blank can be a T-shirt, hoodie, sweatshirt, sweatpant, short, cropped top, or tank top. It may be sold as-is or used as the garment base for printing and customization when the product is eligible.
Why It Matters
The blank controls the base fit, weight, color, size range, wash finish, and customer experience. Printing can add artwork, but it cannot fix a poor fit or the wrong garment choice.
Common Misconceptions
- Blank apparel does not mean generic apparel.
- Not every blank is currently print-ready.
- Pants and shorts are blanks but do not currently support POD printing.
- Product Type and GSM should be checked before choosing a blank.
