Questions about Custom Tanks & Tops?
FAQ
Everything you need to know about tank fabrics, decoration methods, gym and festival treatments, bulk pricing, and delivery.
What's the best fabric for a custom tank or top?
Depends on the program. Heavyweight ring-spun cotton (AS Colour, Los Angeles Apparel, Comfort Colors) is the gym-capsule and streetwear pick — premium hand-feel built for bold screen prints and patches. Garment-dyed organic cotton (Los Angeles Apparel, Comfort Colors) is the summer-festival and beach pick — lived-in and sun-faded. Tri-blend and ribbed jersey (Allmade, Bella + Canvas, Los Angeles Apparel) is the fashion-crop and lifestyle pick — soft drape. Performance poly and spandex (Badger, TriDri, Next Level, Tultex) is the athletic and sports-bra choice.
What's the best decoration for a tank top?
Screen printing is the headline tank decoration — bold plastisol and water-based prints read beautifully on ring-spun and garment-dyed cotton for full-front and full-back graphics. Full-color DTG shines on tri-blend, ribbed, and performance jersey for photographic designs. Embroidery adds tonal chest emblems and chain-stitch, and heat-pressed transfers, foil, and woven and chenille patches round out the library.
What tank and top styles can you decorate?
The full range — classic tanks, muscle tanks with a wide raw armhole, racerback tanks, flowy and cropped tanks, crop tops, bralettes, and sports bras. Each takes the decoration methods best suited to its fabric and cut, across the front chest, back panel, and side panel.
Are custom tanks machine-washable?
Yes. Follow the garment label — most ring-spun cotton, garment-dyed, tri-blend, ribbed, and performance tanks are machine-washable cold and tumble-dried low. Turn inside-out before washing for the longest life on screen-printed, DTG, and transfer decoration. Embroidered emblems and patches are sewn-on and machine-wash safe.
Do you offer bulk pricing on tank orders?
Yes. Bulk discounts apply at volume across screen print, DTG, embroidery, transfer, patch, and foil runs on the full tank and top archive. Reach out for a custom quote tailored to your gym, festival, streetwear, fashion, or event order.
How quickly can I get custom tanks for an event or gym drop?
Standard production is 10–14 business days after proof approval. Rush production is available for gym-capsule, summer-festival, and event-drop deadlines. Every order ships with tracking and we plant one tree per order placed.
