FAQ
Everything you need to know about Gildan fabrics, decoration, and delivery.
What makes Gildan the go-to everyday blank?
Gildan is the #1 everyday value blank โ Heavy Cotton, Softstyle, and Ultra Cotton tees, DryBlend poly-cotton jersey, Heavy Blend fleece, and Performance โ the screen-print and DTG workhorse with the widest weight, blend, and colorway range for bulk events, team, nonprofit, everyday-merch, and family-reunion programs.
What is the difference between Heavy Cotton, Softstyle, and Ultra Cotton?
Heavy Cotton is a mid-weight 5.3 oz 100% cotton everyday workhorse; Softstyle is a soft 4.5 oz ring-spun cotton with a retail-feel fashion hand; Ultra Cotton is a durable heavyweight 6.0 oz 100% cotton for premium and long-wear programs. All three take screen print, DTG, embroidery, and transfers cleanly.
Which Gildan silhouette is best for a bulk event or promotional program?
The Heavy Cotton tee and Softstyle tee are the workhorse Gildan pieces for bulk events and promotional programs โ they take plastisol and water-based screen print, full-color DTG, flat embroidery, and heat-pressed transfers cleanly on the front and back panels at any volume.
Will embroidery and patches hold up on Gildan fabrics?
Yes. Every Gildan decoration is tested on the specific fabric before production โ Heavy Cotton, Softstyle ring-spun, Ultra Cotton heavyweight, and Heavy Blend / DryBlend 50/50. Thread weight, patch backing, puff height, transfer adhesion, and foil-print bond are dialed in for daily-wear durability.
Can you decorate the Heavy Blend fleece, tanks, and youth and women's cuts?
Yes. The Heavy Blend fleece hoodies, crewnecks, and sweatpants take embroidery, screen print, full-color DTG, and patches, and the Ultra Cotton tank, pocket, tall, youth, and women's tees all take screen print, DTG, embroidery, and heat-pressed transfers cleanly โ ideal for team, family, and everyday-merch programs.
Is there a minimum order for Gildan?
Low minimums on every project. Screen print is most cost-effective at volume; flat embroidery, custom patches, puff embroidery, full-color DTG, heat-pressed transfers, and foil printing scale at volume too. Standard production is 10-14 business days after proof approval; rush production is available for tight program deadlines.
