What Our Customers Say
I can't recommend T-Shirt Elephant enough!
I was in charge of ordering all the swag for our family reunion (custom t-shirts and tote bags), and after a very frustrating experience with Custom Ink, I found T-Shirt Elephant at the last minute. I had been extremely clear with Custom Ink about my deadlines, but on the day I was finally ready to place the order for tote bags, they suddenly told me they couldn't get everything to Canada in time, even though they had assured me multiple times that they could.
In a panic, I emailed T-Shirt Elephant explaining that my request was urgent and asking if there was any way they could help. Not only did they respond quickly, but they delivered everything on time exactly as promised.
Then, just a week later, Custom Ink let us down again by repeatedly altering the design that my family member had worked so hard to create for our T-shirts. She was understandably upset, so I reached back out to T-Shirt Elephant with another last-minute request. Once again, they came through without hesitation, respected our design, met our tight deadline, and made the entire process seamless.
The quality of the shirts and tote bags was fantastic, and everyone at the reunion was blown away by the swag. Most importantly, the family member who designed everything was so happy to see her vision come to life exactly as she intended.
Thank you, T-Shirt Elephant, for turning two stressful situations into huge successes. Your customer service, reliability, and attention to detail far surpassed any other company I looked into. I'll absolutely be using you again!
Arrived on time, print quality was great. Fair pricing.
Beautiful printing. Excellent service. Excellent shirt quality. Very satisfied. We will continue to order for the winter. And we will recommend to friends
Excellent service with a short lead time. The dry-fit t-shirts I ordered were perfect and the silk screening on the front and bak of the logo and the year came out great with just the right placement. They know what they are doing and it shows in the quality of their work. I look forward to doing business again with them very soon.
They were able to resize my graphic without loss of fidelity. The printed graphic, while plastic, is well bonded to the material.
The shirt itself is a good weight, and delivery cost was reasonable, if a bit slow.
All in all a really good experience
Amazing quality! Tank tops arrived in time for our pickleball tournament!
Absolutely fantastic! It was my first time printing my own artwork on a T-shirt, and the whole process was very easy. The website is intuitive and user-friendly, also shipping was extremely fast. The quality of the product is out of this world, from the material (heavy cotton) to the print quality itself. I’ll definitely be printing more stuff in the future!
I ordered 3 shirts and 2 hats. After I placed my order, I emailed them to confirm a detail, that was after hours. They responded first thing the next business day and were quick to respond after that.
The quality of the shirts and hats are great and the printing came out perfect.
I definitely recommend Tshirt Elephant for printing jobs, especially if you don’t need a lot as they allow any amount of printing.
The ordering and pick up process was easy and we are very happy with the final product.
This wasn't our first time ordering from Tshirt Elephant, and it won't be our last!
The shirts look great! The delivery didn't show up on the original timeframe, but life happens and sometimes things don't go to plan! The important part is how Tshirt Elephant handled the delay. They fielded my panic, were kind, and very fast responses from customer service. I would absolutely use again!
A wonderful company! We have been in correspondence with Jason, and we are very happy with the help and guidance he has offered for our apparel needs. We recommend T-Shirt Elephant to all of our friends.
5 Stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Needed a few tactical shirts with our logo done for an event on the same day, and they made it happen!! The turnaround was incredibly fast, the shirts came out exactly how we wanted, and the whole process was seamless. Couldn't have asked for better service. Highly recommend!
T-Shirt elephant is excellent for small to medium run custom branded clothing. They do good design work. Can provide you with a proof before production and provide reliable consistent service
Always a pleasure working with T-shirt time to supply our merch for kids camps
Fast shipping, great communication, high quality product. Couldn't be happier!
Creating my design was easy and fun! After purchasing my apparel I also realized I neglected to use the promo code they were offering, so I emailed them and asked if it could be applied and they graciously offered it in a timely manner. Great company to use!
I made Tshirts for my daughter. They came very pretty, nice colours. She loves them and wears them constantly. I washed and dried them multiple times and print holds very well. Very pleased with my purchase. I’ll definitely order more.
The ordering process was easy, and the t-shirts arrived in a timely manner and seem nice. The printing was good quality. The only minor complaint I can make is that the web site gave me no updates on the progress of my order --- even now, having received the t-shirts, it still says my order is "being processed". So I had a couple of uncomfortable weeks wondering what was happening with my order and if it would even come. Still, in spite of that the t-shirts arrived within a day of the original estimate at the time I placed the order.
T-shirt elephant did an amazing job getting our shirts done on a tight timeline, and the quality was excellent. Couldn't recommend them more!
Great and fast work.
I am very happy with the tees I recived.
Jason was incredibly helpful in creating my design and getting the order placed. Delivery was quicker than promised, and the tee shirts are great! Thank you.
Love the shirt good quality printing I’ll definitely be going back for all my printing and embroidery needs

Product Description
Bella+Canvas 3001CVC Heather CVC T-Shirt — The Retail-Quality Custom Tee
The Bella+Canvas 3001CVC is the heather version of the legendary Bella+Canvas 3001 — arguably the most popular premium blank t-shirt in North America. Made from a CVC (Chief Value Cotton) blend of combed ring spun cotton and polyester, it delivers an incredibly soft hand feel with a subtle heathered texture that looks and feels like a retail fashion tee. This is the shirt streetwear brands, Etsy sellers, and premium merch lines choose when quality perception is everything.
The gold standard in premium custom tees. Printed in Canada with no minimums, 10-day turnaround, and free shipping on orders over $250.
Fabric & Construction
- 52/48 Airlume combed and ring spun cotton/polyester CVC blend — Bella+Canvas's proprietary ultra-soft yarn
- 4.2 oz / 142 GSM — lightweight with a premium, drapey feel
- Airlume combed and ring spun cotton — 30% softer than standard cotton, with a smoother, cleaner surface
- Heathered texture — the CVC blend creates a subtle, natural marled look that's trending across fashion and streetwear
- Side-seamed construction — contoured fit that follows the body, no boxy tubular shape
- Ribbed crew neck — fits snugly without being tight, holds shape without curling
- Shoulder taping — reinforced for durability and lay-flat comfort
- Tear-away label for easy rebranding
Fit & Sizing
- Unisex retail fit — modern, slightly fitted silhouette. Not boxy, not skin-tight — the sweet spot
- Available in XS through 4XL
- 100% cotton version — see Bella+Canvas 3001C Jersey Tee for solid colours in 100% Airlume cotton
- Youth version — see Bella+Canvas 3001Y Youth Jersey Tee
- Runs true to modern retail sizing — slightly slimmer than Gildan. Size up if you prefer a relaxed fit
Bella+Canvas 3001CVC vs Gildan 5000 — Why the Upgrade?
- Softness: The 3001CVC is dramatically softer — Airlume cotton is 30% softer than standard cotton. Customers notice the difference in seconds
- Weight: The 3001CVC is 4.2 oz (light, drapey) vs the Gildan 5000's 5.3 oz (heavier, structured). Different feel entirely
- Fit: Side-seamed retail fit vs tubular straight cut — the 3001CVC looks like a fashion tee, the 5000 looks like a custom tee
- Aesthetic: The heathered CVC texture adds visual interest and a premium, modern look
- Perception: Customers perceive the 3001CVC as a "real shirt" worth keeping, not a promotional giveaway
- Recommendation: Choose the Gildan 5000 for budget-friendly bulk orders. Choose the 3001CVC when your custom tees need to feel like a retail product — merch, brand apparel, corporate gifts, and anything customers pay for.
Best Print Methods for the Bella+Canvas 3001CVC
- Screen Printing — beautiful results. The smooth Airlume surface produces incredibly crisp, detailed prints. The heathered background adds a unique vintage quality to printed designs.
- DTG (Direct-to-Garment) — outstanding. The high cotton content absorbs ink deeply for rich, photo-quality prints with a soft hand feel that blends into the fabric.
- DTF (Direct-to-Film) — excellent on all colours. The lightweight fabric means transfers sit smoothly without stiffness.
- Embroidery — works well for small logos. Use lightweight backing for best results on this lighter fabric.
- Heat Transfer / Vinyl — excellent adhesion on the smooth surface.
Popular Uses for Custom Bella+Canvas 3001CVC
- Retail Merchandise: Clothing brands, e-commerce stores, Etsy shops, print-on-demand — the tee customers will re-order and recommend
- Streetwear & Fashion: Independent labels, limited drops, capsule collections, influencer collaborations
- Band & Artist Merch: Tour merchandise, album tees, music festival merch — the quality fans expect when buying
- Corporate Premium: Executive gifts, VIP event shirts, premium employee swag that people actually wear outside work
- Weddings & Events: Bachelorette/bachelor parties, wedding party gifts, milestone celebrations
- Small Business Branding: Coffee shops, breweries, studios, boutiques — the premium tee that represents your brand well
