Wholesale Blanks for Screen Printers
Print-ready blanks designed for consistent, high-quality screen printing. Designed in Los Angeles, manufactured to spec in Pakistan.
Built for the Press, Not Just the Rack
Screen printers know blank quality varies widely. A garment that looks good in a showroom or sales sample may still cause problems on press, shifting mid-print, absorbing ink unevenly, or warping after the first wash. Three Layer blanks are purpose-built to address these problems at scale.
That means a stable knit face, consistent panel dimensions, and reduced torque or skew across the body. Garment construction stays square on the platen from size Small through 5XL. Blanks for a 500-piece run need to perform identically on piece one and piece five hundred.
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 and the 1003 Combed Cotton Tee offer a smooth, stable print surface that helps reduce visible fibrillation. A common issue with lower-quality blanks.
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
Our extended size range covers Small through 5XL across popular colorways, so you never need to source mid-run from a second vendor.
