Best Blank Crewnecks For DTF & Screen Printing

Which crewneck sweatshirt blank is right for your brand? In this complete guide, I break down the 6 best blank crewnecks on the market and show you exactly which one fits your business, your customers, and your budget.

If you're starting a t-shirt business, launching a streetwear brand, printing for schools and universities, or building a premium apparel line, picking the wrong blank can cost you customers and kill your margins. I've tested all of these blanks in our production facility and I'm giving you the full breakdown so you can make the right choice the first time!

I've organized them into 3 categories based on your business goals:

⭐ THE WORKHORSES (Budget-Friendly Basics)
⭐ THE ALL-ROUNDERS (Quality + Versatility)
⭐ THE SPECIALISTS (Premium Feel + Style)

For each blank I cover:
✅ Fabric weight, blend, and construction
✅ Fit and silhouette (classic, slim, oversized, relaxed)
✅ Best use cases and target customers
✅ Strengths and trade-offs
✅ DTF transfer pressing tips and settings
✅ Price tier and margin considerations
✅ How it compares to similar blanks

This is the crewneck sweatshirt comparison video I wish I had when I started. Whether you're doing custom apparel, print on demand, DTF printing, screen printing, heat transfer vinyl, or sublimation, understanding your blanks is the foundation of a successful apparel business.

✨ If you're starting a t-shirt brand, custom apparel business, or just trying to stop wasting money on the wrong blanks — this is your ultimate guide.
