We’ve been inking up some swanky sleeveless tops for almost 15 years, and we’d wanna say we have a lot of info up our SLEEVES, but we are talking about sleeveless tops, so… yeah.
Anyway! You didn’t come here for corny jokes; you came here to learn (I’m assuming), so let’s get to it, shall we?
What’s the scoop?
When choosing a sleeveless top for screen printing, it's essential to consider the fabric and the shirt's design. Here are a few options that may work well:
1. Cotton Tanks
100% cotton tanks are popular for screen printing because they have a smooth surface that works well with designs. They are also lightweight and breathable, which makes them perfect for warm weather.
One of our favorite cotton tanks is the Bella + Canvas Unisex Jersey Tank.
- Offered in sizes XS-2XL
- Made with 100% cotton
- Available in over 40 colors
2. Tri-blend Tanks
Tri-blend tanks are made from cotton, polyester, and rayon. They are soft, comfortable, and have a heathered look that can add texture to a design. Tri-blend tanks also tend to be more durable than 100% cotton tanks.
One of our favorite tri-blend tanks is the Bella + Canvas Triblend Racerback Tank.
- Offered in sizes XS-2XL
- Made with 50% polyester, 25% cotton, 25% rayon
- Available in over 20 colors
3. Performance Tanks
Consider a performance tank if you are looking for a sleeveless, moisture-wicking, and quick-drying top. These tops are made from materials such as polyester and spandex and are designed for athletic activities. They have a smooth surface that is ideal for screenprinting.
One of our favorite performance tanks is the Sport-Tek PosiCharge Competitor Tank.
- Offered in sizes XS-4XL
- Made with 100% polyester
- Available in over five colors
4. Racerback Tanks
Racerback tanks have a unique design that can make a screen printed design stand out. They have a narrow back that allows for more movement and comfort. They are often made from cotton or a cotton blend and have a smooth surface that works well with designs.
One of our favorite racerback tanks is the Bella + Canvas Triblend Racerback Tank.
- Offered in sizes XS-2XL
- Made with 50% cotton, 25% polyester, and 25% rayon
- Available in over 20 colors
5. Flowy Tanks
Flowy tanks have a loose, relaxed fit that can be flattering on many body types. They are often made from a lightweight material such as a rayon/ rayon blend. Flowy tanks can be a great option for designs that require a larger print area.
One of our favorite flowy tanks is the Bella + Canvas Women’s Flowy Scoop Muscle Tank.
- Offered in sizes S-2XL
