The sharpest pencil we can hand you on a large run. When you need hundreds of shirts, the art is simple, and the number at the bottom of the invoice decides the job - this is the blank.
Real numbers back the same business day — not a range.

Garment photos are supplier stock images of the actual blank. A few colorways are cotton/poly blends and print slightly differently - we account for it on your mockup.

|---|---|
| Fabric | 100% cotton (select colors are cotton/poly blends) |
| Weight | 4.3 oz/yd² |
| Yarn | 30 singles |
| Family | Sits below the PC54 Core Cotton (5.4 oz) and PC61 Essential (6.1 oz) - both still current, we quote all three |
| Colors | 63 |
| Sizes | S – 6XL |
Common misconception worth correcting: the PC43 did not replace the PC54 - both are current, the PC43 is simply the lighter, cheaper tier. If you want the heavier hand for a dollar-something more, ask us to quote the PC54 next to it.
This is the part most printers will not tell you before they take your money.
100% cotton at 30 singles takes ink cleanly with no drama – which is exactly what you want when the run is 500 pieces.
On big runs the blank cost difference between a PC43 and a fashion tee is often bigger than the entire print cost. Simple art plus this blank is the cheapest legitimate way to put hundreds of printed shirts in a room.
A true S-6XL range means the whole crew fits in one style – no substitute blanks for the big sizes.

24 pieces, with no setup fees - though this blank really shines on runs in the hundreds, where its price advantage compounds.
They are the two sharpest-priced cotton tees we run and it can swing either way with color and quantity, so we usually quote both. The 5000 is heavier (5.3 oz vs 4.3 oz) with more colors; the PC43 is lighter and often a touch cheaper.
No - that is outdated advice you will read online. Both are current SanMar styles. The PC43 is the 4.3 oz value tier; the PC54 Core Cotton is the 5.4 oz mid tier. We print both and will quote them side by side.
Absolutely - it is a proper 100% cotton tee, just a lighter weight. For giveaways, festivals, fundraisers and one-day events it is the right amount of shirt for the money.
S through 6XL, which is one of its quiet advantages - the whole team fits in one style.
Standard preshrunk cotton behavior - wash cold, dry low, minimal change.
Both. We are in Deerfield Beach and plenty of customers pick up, but we ship orders anywhere in the US.
24-piece minimum. No setup fees. Same-day pricing from a shop that runs this blank every week.
