Why Choose the Gildan G800 for Custom Printing?

First, the Gildan G800 uses 5.5 oz. DryBlend fabric that is 50% cotton and 50% polyester. The fabric wicks moisture away from the body, so it stays more comfortable in the heat.

The polyester also helps the shirt resist shrinking and wrinkles. As a result, it keeps its size and color longer than many 100% cotton tees.

Gildan G800 Fit and Feel

The G800 has a classic, standard fit with a seamless collar and double-needle stitching. It is taped from shoulder to shoulder, so the neckline keeps its shape. Most people order their normal size.

Best Uses for the Gildan G800

Work crews, landscapers, and construction teams, because the blend handles sweat and frequent washing.
Youth sports leagues and summer camps.
Volunteer shirts for outdoor events and charity walks.
Uniforms for delivery drivers, movers, and warehouse staff.

Screen Printing or Embroidery on the Gildan G800

Screen printing is the best fit for the Gildan G800. However, polyester can let dark dyes bleed into light inks, so our team uses the right low-bleed inks for bright colors on dark shirts. In addition, a left-chest logo with a large back print is a popular uniform layout.

Not sure which method fits your design? Read our guide to screen printing vs. embroidery, or simply ask our team for advice.

How the Gildan G800 Compares

The Gildan G800 is a strong choice, but it is not the only option. For example:

Choose the Gildan Ultra Cotton G200 if you want a 100% cotton option.
Pick the Gildan G420 if you want a full performance polyester tee.
Go with the Hanes 5280 if you want another durable budget tee.
