Garment photos are supplier stock images of the actual blank. Heather colorways run a higher poly content than the solids and print slightly differently - we account for it on your mockup.

The crewneck is having a moment - merch brands and boutiques are printing more crews than hoodies right now. Same fabric as the 18500, cleaner canvas, lower price.

How the 18000 prints

This is the part most printers will not tell you before they take your money.

The cleanest fleece canvas

No hood, no pocket, no drawcord – nothing interrupting the print area. Big front graphics and full backs land exactly where the art calls for them.

Printed like the blend it is

50/50 fabric gets a low-bleed underbase on darks and brights so the garment dye stays out of your ink. Standard practice here; worth asking about anywhere else.

The merch favorite

Garment-dye-look colorways and heathers on a crew silhouette read as retail, not uniform. If you are selling this rather than issuing it, the crewneck earns its keep.

Ordering tees at the same time? See our best sellers – printing shirts and crews together under one setup saves real money.

Gildan 18000 questions, answered

What is the minimum order on 18000 crewnecks?

24 pieces, with no setup fees. Mix colors and sizes inside that 24, and mix in the matching 18500 hoodie under the same print setup.

Crewneck or hoodie - which should I pick?

Same fabric, different job. The hoodie is the crew-gear workhorse; the crewneck is the cleaner, more retail look and prints with zero placement restrictions. Merch lines increasingly go crew.

Does it shrink?

The 50/50 blend keeps shrinkage low. Wash cold, dry low, and the rib trim with spandex keeps collar and cuffs from bagging out.

Can you print front and back?

Yes - front, back, and sleeves. Each location is its own setup, and we will price the combinations when you send the form.

Is it soft enough to sell as merch?

It is a classic fleece, brushed inside, and customers sell plenty of it. For a premium heavyweight merch crew, ask us about upgraded fleece options and we will quote both.

Do you ship, or is this local pickup only?

Both. We are in Deerfield Beach and plenty of customers pick up, but we ship orders anywhere in the US.
