Why Pay More? Our Blank Tees Cost Up to 4x Less Than SS Activewear & Gildan

If you've been sourcing blanks from S&S Activewear, Gildan direct, or similar wholesalers, you already know the pricing game: shirts that creep up toward $7–$13 each before you've even added ink or a transfer. That eats your margin before you've made a single sale.

At Halo26, our Blank Cotton Unisex Tee (3M135) starts at just $1.65 — a fraction of what the big-name suppliers charge for a comparable cotton tee.

The comparison

  • S&S Activewear (Gildan 64000, Unisex Softstyle Tee): starting around $3.14 (public listed price)
  • Halo26 Blank Cotton Unisex Tee (3M135): starting at $1.65

That's real savings on every single shirt, and it adds up fast once you're ordering in bulk for a print run, pop-up, or DTF business.

What you're actually getting

  • 135gsm (3.98 oz/yd²), 100% cotton, 30 singles — a lighter, budget-friendly build made for decorating
  • Classic, relaxed fit that works across brands and customers
  • Taped neck for shape retention and comfort
  • Tear-away label — perfect for private label and retail-ready product
  • Print-ready surface built for screen printing, DTF, DTG, and embroidery
  • Available in White, Gravel, Grey Heather, Light Pink, Natural, Navy, Off White, and Red

Why it matters for your business

Every dollar you save on blanks is a dollar back in your pocket — or room to price more competitively against other shops without cutting into your margin. Whether you're running a DTF transfer business, screen printing custom orders, or building a private-label apparel brand, starting with a lower-cost blank means more flexibility on the back end.

Need a heavier weight? We also carry a 180gsm version of this same tee for a sturdier feel at a similarly low price.
