3001 Jersey Tee
About Bella+Canvas’s t-shirts: The premium blank most print shops reach for. The 3001 is the fitted Airlume staple; heavier and triblend variants sit alongside it.
Is the price honest?
Our take
Bella+Canvas is the blank a lot of modern printed and boutique tees are built on, prized in the print trade for soft Airlume combed cotton and a flattering retail-style cut. Owners and print buyers say the 3001 feels and drapes far better than basic blanks, with a slim, slightly tapered fit. The honest caveats: the lighter weight can go sheer in white, and the slim cut runs small for those wanting room. As a blank it's near the top of its class, but it is sold as a blank, not a finished retail tee.

- Care
- Wash cold inside-out and tumble low to keep the soft hand and limit shrink.
How Bella+Canvas t-shirts hold up overall
The people reviewing this line are mostly printers and print-on-demand sellers, and they describe it as the soft, retail-fit benchmark among blank tees: combed ring-spun cotton with a smooth surface that takes screen, DTG, and DTF prints cleanly. The flagship 3001 is a light-to-midweight 4.2 oz jersey, so it reads as an everyday shirt rather than a thick one. Reviewers disagree on shrinkage: one long-run printing review calls it minimal on the pre-shrunk fabric, while an independent nine-shirt wash test measured more length shrinkage than average in its group. Print vibrancy was also reported to vary by shirt color in that test.
- Strengths
- Smooth combed ring-spun cotton that prints sharply and feels soft off the shelf, with a wide color and size range.
- Watch out for
- One measured wash test found above-average length shrinkage despite the pre-shrunk claim, and the light fabric disappoints buyers wanting a heavyweight tee.
- Sizing
- Cut slimmer and slightly longer than typical blanks, with notably long sleeves; allow for length loss after hot washes.
