The quality of the shirts were really nice for the price! Satisfied with both the material and the print quality. They were also super helpful in ensuring our shirts were ready in time for our event.
Fantastic quality of print, and the organic cotton shirt itself is very soft and well made.
It was delivered within about 2 weeks and was well worth the wait. I’ll be ordering from this place again.
We had a great experience with T-Shirt Elephant. The quality of the shirts is excellent, and the customer service was outstanding throughout the entire process. They were responsive and helpful. We’re very happy with the final product and would definitely recommend T-Shirt Elephant!
I had a short time line for shirts to be made and shipped across the country. T Shirt elephant did not disappoint even got the shirts to me early !! so beyond impressed with this company
Excellent screen printing quality, and excellent selection of high quality garments. Love that I can order just 1 item instead of a large minimum order most custom garment companies require.
I've ordered a number of custom t-shirts from T-Shirt Elephant and have always been pleased with the results. The design software is easy to use, and the selection of colours and fabrics is endless. Turn-around time is short, normally just a few days before my products are in my hands. Recommended!
Was very happy with my order. Our hats look great!
Great turn around time for our team shirts and easy to contact when we had additions to our original order!
Easy to use website, quality product and effective service and delivery
The process of creating my custom hoodie for my partner was easy and clear on T-shirt elephants site. This was my first time making and ordering anything custom and they made it super easy. I chose them for that reason, and they are Canadian. No weird tax cross border stuff. my order even shipped earlier than was estimated which was awesome as it was a present. I highly recommend them.
Got a good quality shirt. They responded quickly over email when I was worried it would not arrive in time and got it to me on time.
Fast and affordable pick up for single items!
Great shirts and prices for small batches. Will use again!
Hi Jason,
I just wanted to let you know that the T-shirts worked out really well! The sizing was spot on, the quality exceeded my expectations, and the design turned out exactly as I had submitted it. Thank you for all your help throughout the ordering process. I really appreciate your assistance and responsiveness. Everyone was very happy with how they turned out.
Thanks again!
Very good service and product quality!
I used T-shirt Elephant to make t-shirts for my son's birthday. The website is easy to navigate and the customer service team was helpful. It took about 2weeks for my order to be delivered and I was very happy with the quality of the t-shirts and prints on them. I will definitely use T-shirt Elephant again for making custom t-shirts in the future.
The Quality of the print has been great. The design tool is very helpful as well.
I’ve placed another order and will be sharing my experience with my contractor friends.
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
