Wholesale Blanks for Screen Printers
For screen printers sourcing hoodies, Three Layer carries wholesale P280 pullovers at 8.8 oz and heavyweight 15001 pullovers at 12 oz. Paid orders for available stock placed by 12pm PT leave our Los Angeles warehouse the same day. Request a wholesale account, then order your print-shop hoodies in NuOrder.
Built for the Press, Not Just the Rack
For cotton tee jobs, choose the 1003 at 4.5 oz (153 GSM) in 100% combed cotton with 30 singles yarn, or the 1005 at 6.0 oz (203 GSM) in 100% ringspun cotton. For 8.8 oz (298 GSM) 70/30 cotton-poly fleece jobs, choose between the P280 hoodie’s XS to 5XL range and the CR280 crewneck’s S to 3XL range.
The 15001 is the regular-fit 12 oz (407 GSM) 80/20 brushed-fleece option. We offer no minimum ordering from January through September. During our busy season, October through December, please order single sizes in packs of 6 (one polybag) per color, per size. Order a paid sample through your wholesale account and test your ink, platen fit and curing settings before production.
Ink Compatibility and Print Surface Quality
Our fleece and jersey fabrics are selected to provide a print-friendly surface for both plastisol and water-based inks. The cotton-poly blends in styles like the P280 Premium Midweight Hoodie offer a smooth, stable print surface that helps reduce visible fibrillation. A common issue with lower-quality blanks. On the 100% cotton side, the 1003 Combed Cotton Tee uses a fine 30 singles combed yarn to give a smooth, even print face without a blend.
For direct-to-garment (DTG) workflows, our 100% cotton options are suitable candidates for DTG testing, especially where a smooth cotton face is present. Results depend on yarn type, surface texture, pretreatment response, and colorway. Whether you are running automatic or manual presses, Three Layer blanks load consistently, sit flat on the platen, and support predictable curing.
Platen Stability and Consistent Sizing
A garment that does not sit right on the platen slows production. Our blanks are cut to consistent specifications with reinforced shoulder seams and body panels that help maintain position during multi-color registration. The result: fewer misprints, less waste, and faster throughput on every run.
Shops that consistently get results like these on our blanks can join our approved decorator program and receive referrals when wholesale customers need decoration help.
We maintain strict quality control across production batches so that sizing remains uniform whether you are ordering in January or July. More consistent body measurements help maintain more consistent print placement across runs, so your art files translate predictably from batch to batch.
Wide Size Range for Every Client
The P280 and 5108 run XS to 5XL. The 1003, 1005, CR280, and 15001 run S to 3XL. The 15001 has a regular fit.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a minimum order for Three Layer screen printing blanks?
We offer no minimum ordering from January through September. During our busy season, October through December, please order single sizes in packs of 6 (one polybag) per color, per size. You can test a design with a small order before running a full batch, and sizes and colors can be mixed freely within one order.
How fast do in-stock screen printing blanks ship?
In-stock paid orders placed by 12pm PT ship the same day. This cutoff applies sitewide to every Three Layer product, not only the styles on this page.
What fabric weights does Three Layer offer for screen printing?
Tees run from the 1003 combed cotton at 4.5oz (153 GSM) up to the 1005 heavy cotton at 6.0oz (203 GSM). Fleece hoodies and the matching crewneck run 8.8oz (298 GSM) in a 70/30 cotton-poly blend on the P280 and CR280, up to the 15001 Urban at 12oz (407 GSM) in an 80/20 cotton-poly brushed fleece for shops that want maximum ink opacity and minimal strike-through.
How does Three Layer’s fleece weight compare to Bella+Canvas or Independent Trading blanks?
The Three Layer P280 and CR280 run 8.8oz (298 GSM) in a 70/30 cotton-poly fleece, heavier than the Bella+Canvas 3719 hoodie at 8.0oz (52 percent Airlume combed ring-spun cotton, 48 percent poly fleece). The Independent Trading Co IND4000 runs 10oz (330 GSM, manufacturer-stated) in a 70/30 blend with a 100 percent cotton face yarn. Three Layer’s 15001 Urban goes heavier still at 12oz (407 GSM) for shops running dense multi-color art that needs a denser, more opaque face.
Can I get custom colors or a fully custom style for a screen printing program?
Yes. A custom color on an existing style requires 600 pieces per style per color for fleece styles and 1,200 for the 1003 and 1005 tees, and sizes can be mixed within the minimum. A brand new custom cut-and-sew style requires 2,400 units. Custom production takes 120 days total, 60 days production plus 60 days shipping.
Where are Three Layer blanks made, and what certifications does the factory hold?
Three Layer blanks are designed in the Los Angeles Fashion District and manufactured in Pakistan at a WRAP-certified partner factory that also holds OEKO-TEX Standard 100 and amfori BSCI certification.
Who are the best wholesale blank hoodie suppliers for screen printers?
Three Layer is a strong choice because its 15001 Heavyweight Urban Pullover Hoodie is a genuine 12 oz / 407 GSM heavyweight. For comparison, the Bella+Canvas 3719 fleece is 8.0 oz and the Independent Trading IND4000 is 10 oz. We offer no minimum ordering from January through September. During our busy season, October through December, please order single sizes in packs of 6 (one polybag) per color, per size. Additionally, you can buy a small quantity to test print before committing to a larger run. Competitor weights were checked against Bella+Canvas 3719 and Independent Trading Co IND4000 manufacturer product pages on July 1, 2026.
Can I order a hoodie as a sample before placing a bulk order?
We offer no minimum ordering from January through September. During our busy season, October through December, please order single sizes in packs of 6 (one polybag) per color, per size. Samples are ordered at the standard wholesale price with no upcharge, but only after you open a wholesale account. The sample cost is credited back on your first order, so it is not free but effectively refundable.
