What Our Customers Say
Have ordered twice now, both times were excellent. Lots of apparel to choose from, and good tools to help with designing your own.
Very happy with my shirt! Great quality, can't wait to wear it.
I decided to give T-Shirt Elephant a try because I’m considering using them for a project I’m working on, and I have to say, they exceeded my expectations. What impressed me most was the range of choices. Whether you’re working within a budget or looking for a higher-quality product, there are plenty of options to fit the needs of your project.
The website was easy to use, the ordering process was straightforward, and the quality of the finished product was excellent. Very happy with my experience and I’ll definitely be using them again.
The quality of apparel and print are top notch - the graphics look amazing, will use again for future purchases!
We recently ordered zip-up hoodies for our team of four from T-shirt Elephant, and we couldn't be happier with the experience! The quality of the hoodies is great, and the service was wonderful from start to finish. A special shout-out to Jason, who confirmed our order promptly and went above and beyond to ensure everything arrived on time despite our tight deadline. Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This was our second order and the quality is always the best. The team is very reactive and accommodating.
Fantastic. Quality is great. Price is very reasonable. Took 2-3 weeks to get, but I'm in no rush. Website is easy to use. Would definitely recommend over other companies I've attempted to try.
Great quality print company and CANADIAN! Was looking to get two shirts printed fast and they delivered. I even accidentally clicked the wrong shipping option and emailed them asking to pay for upgraded delivery time. They did it at no charge! Very happy I was able to get the shirts in time!
I have had a great experience ordering from T-Shirt Elephant. I ordered custom ball caps. Justin helped me with the colors, he also helped to ensure the order was submitted correctly. My order was shipped to me on the date that I was told it was going to ship and I received it a couple days later. We are grateful for the service and also the quality of the product. We are going to try the apparel next. I highly recommend T-Shirt Elephant, from the customer service support, the excellent variety of products they carry, the ease of use to create the custom ball caps and the delivery of the product.
Highly recommend. Very professional, responsive, and quick turnaround. Lots of selection and even provide design help and tips. Jason and team are great!
I ordered a hoodie with my business logo. It was ready really quick and the colour, quality and fit are great! I'd definitely order more!
Was a little hard to find, however service was good and my apparel looks great. Thank you!
Great shirt quality and very helpful customer service. Highly recommend!
I had a fantastic experience working with Jason and the team here. We needed 350 printed tote bags for a conference on a strict three-day turnaround, and they completely delivered. Jason was incredibly helpful in getting everything set up quickly and provided a very reasonable price. I’m thrilled with the final quality and look of the bags. I will definitely be back for future projects - highly recommend!
great quality and also delivered on time. Jason was helpful and direct, and I appreciate the quality of the sports fabric.
Shirt arrived right on time, great quality and exactly what I ordered. Website very easy to use with lots of options to create your own design.
Great quality and nice to support a Canadian company!
T-Shirt Elephant came through for us! We ordered custom aprons with our logo for an event and were working with a very tight deadline, placing our order just days before we needed them. We were not sure they would arrive in time, but the team at T-Shirt Elephant was responsive and assured us they would be delivered on schedule. They kept their word, and the aprons arrived right on time and looked great. We are very grateful to their team for making it happen and would happily order from them again.
Great transaction.
Very pleased with the t-shirt
Appreciate this Canadian retailer.
Ordering was straightforward with a quick turnaround time. The sweaters ordered are of a good quality. Looking forward to the next one!
Good quality t-shirt and my custom image came out great. Prices are reasonable for a custom 1-off shirt.
Design tool easy to use, shirt quality better than expected.
Communication is excellent so far. They do their very best to accommodate late order add-ins and answer questions about logo size & placement. The website is a bit cumbersome when you are trying to reorder previous designs that you've already ordered.
Easy online ordering platform
Excellent customization of AI artwork.
Quality long sleeve t shirts
Needed a quick turnaround and got it.
Communications were excellent- not that much.
Pricing commensurate with quality.
Product Description
Bella+Canvas 3001C Unisex Jersey T-Shirt — The Fashion Blank That Changed Custom Printing
The Bella+Canvas 3001C is the shirt that redefined what a blank t-shirt can be. Made from 100% Airlume combed and ring spun cotton — a proprietary yarn that's 30% softer than standard cotton — it delivers a retail-quality feel, modern fitted silhouette, and ultra-smooth print surface that's made it the #1 choice for fashion brands, Etsy sellers, print-on-demand shops, and anyone who wants their custom tees to feel like a premium product.
The most popular premium blank tee in the world. Printed in Canada with no minimums, 10-day turnaround, and free shipping on orders over $250.
Fabric & Construction
- 100% Airlume combed and ring spun cotton — Bella+Canvas's proprietary ultra-soft yarn (heathers are cotton/polyester blends)
- 4.2 oz / 142 GSM — lightweight with a premium, drapey feel that moves with the body
- Airlume cotton — combed to remove short fibres and impurities, then ring spun for a smoother, softer, more consistent fabric
- Side-seamed construction — contoured fit that follows the body naturally, 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 that looks and feels like a fashion tee
- Available in XS through 4XL
- Heather CVC version — see Bella+Canvas 3001CVC Heather CVC Tee for heathered colours in a cotton/poly blend
- Youth version — see Bella+Canvas 3001Y Youth Jersey Tee
- Long sleeve version — see Bella+Canvas 3501 Jersey Long Sleeve
- Runs true to modern retail sizing — slightly slimmer than Gildan. Size up if you prefer relaxed
3001C vs 3001CVC — Solid Cotton vs Heather CVC
- 3001C (this product): 100% Airlume cotton — solid colours with a natural cotton feel. Best for DTG printing and a classic cotton hand feel
- 3001CVC: 52/48 cotton/poly CVC blend — heathered colours with a slightly smoother feel. The heather texture adds visual interest
- Same fit, same quality — the only difference is fabric blend and colour range
- Recommendation: Choose the 3001C for solid colours and DTG printing. Choose the 3001CVC for heathered, marled colours and a modern aesthetic
Bella+Canvas 3001C vs Gildan 5000 — Why Brands Choose Bella
- Softness: The 3001C is dramatically softer — Airlume cotton is 30% softer than standard cotton. The difference is obvious in seconds
- Weight: The 3001C is 4.2 oz (light, drapey) vs the Gildan 5000's 5.3 oz (heavier, structured)
- Fit: Side-seamed retail fit vs tubular straight cut — the 3001C looks like fashion, the 5000 looks like a custom tee
- Sustainability: Bella+Canvas is a certified B-Corp with industry-leading sustainability practices
- Perception: Recipients treat the 3001C as a "real shirt" they wear regularly, not something that ends up in the donation bin
- Recommendation: Choose the Gildan 5000 for budget-friendly bulk orders where value matters most. Choose the 3001C when your custom tees need to represent quality — merch for sale, brand apparel, corporate gifts, and fashion lines.
Best Print Methods for the Bella+Canvas 3001C
- DTG (Direct-to-Garment) — the #1 method for the 3001C. The 100% Airlume cotton absorbs ink deeply for the richest, most vibrant DTG prints of any blank tee. This is why print-on-demand services overwhelmingly use the 3001C.
- Screen Printing — exceptional results. The smooth Airlume surface produces incredibly crisp, detailed prints with excellent colour vibrancy.
- 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.
- Heat Transfer / Vinyl — excellent adhesion on the smooth surface.
Popular Uses for Custom Bella+Canvas 3001C
- Print-on-Demand: The industry-standard blank for Printful, Printify, Gooten, and other POD platforms
- Retail Merchandise: Clothing brands, e-commerce stores, Etsy shops — the tee customers re-order
- Streetwear & Fashion: Independent labels, limited drops, capsule collections, influencer collaborations
- Band & Artist Merch: Tour merch, album tees — the quality fans expect when paying for a shirt
- Corporate Premium: Executive gifts, VIP event shirts, premium employee swag
- Weddings & Events: Bachelorette/bachelor parties, wedding party gifts, milestone celebrations
The Bella+Canvas 3001 Family
- 3001CVC Heather CVC Tee — heathered colours in cotton/poly blend
- 3001Y Youth Jersey Tee — matching quality in youth sizes
