Garment Details
Compare garment construction and review important information for decorating and post-production processes.
Construction varies by style and can affect decorating placement and shrinkage control.
Garments are intended for common decorating methods including DTG, screen print, heat transfer, and embroidery.
Fabric content and product details may vary by style and color.
Style 402 has side seams, while style 501 has tubular construction. Tubular construction can work well for side prints or full-body designs because there is no side seam. Side seams help provide greater shrinkage control and can support consistent garment placement during direct-to-garment printing.
Smart Blanks does not currently offer PFD garments. The garments are intended for decorating methods such as DTG, screen printing, heat transfer, and embroidery. Overdyeing or other alterations are performed at the customer's discretion, and Smart Blanks cannot accept responsibility for quality issues that occur after those processes.
Collections

No. Tops and bottoms are sold separately. Exact color matching cannot be guaranteed because garments may come from different dye lots.
