What’s Inside:

You’ll get detailed style number recommendations tailored to specific markets like fitness, streetwear, trades, and more — so you’re not guessing what works. In side of this 39-page guide, we break down and compare top brands like Next Level, Bella+Canvas, Comfort Colors, and others to help you find the best fit for your goals.

You’ll learn how fabric weight, content, and treatment affect print quality, comfort, and customer perception — so your product not only looks good but performs well. Pro-level insights guide you through choosing the right fit, finish, and price point so your blanks align with your brand and margins.

And for quick reference, we include printable tools like market cheat sheets, fabric comparison charts, print compatibility matrices, and evaluation templates to make decision-making faster and easier.

Who It’s For:

  • This guide was made for Brand Owners who care about quality, fit, and long-term growth - not just getting a design onto a shirt.

    • If you’re launching your first collection and overwhelmed by all the blank options out there, this guide gives you clarity and confidence from day one.
    • If you’ve already produced merch but feel like something’s “off” - whether it’s the fit, the fabric, or the way it prints - you’ll learn how to pinpoint what’s not working and fix it fast.
    • If you’re scaling your brand and need to make smarter choices around margin, pricing, or production consistency, this guide will help you future-proof your decisions and streamline your supply chain.
    • And if you’re a creative, influencer, or entrepreneur with big ideas but no background in apparel, we’ll break down what matters most

This isn’t just a surface-level overview — it’s the exact framework we use at Industry Threadworks to help real brands get their products dialed in.

Whether you’re choosing between three blanks or still not sure where to start, this guide helps you make smarter, faster decisions — and avoid the common (and costly) mistakes most new brand owners make.
