When you’re running a fast-paced shop like ours, every blank has to pull its weight—especially when it comes to printing and embroidery. We’ve tested dozens of blank tank tops in real production runs, across DTG, screen printing, and DTF transfer. Some held up great. Others? Not so much.

To save you the trial and error, we’ve rounded up our top 10 go-to custom tank tops that consistently deliver clean prints, sharp embroidery, and quick turnaround with no surprises. These are the tanks we recommend to clients who come to us for high-quality custom printing, because we know they hold up, look great, and get the job done right.

Before we jump into the list, here’s what actually matters when selecting blank tank tops for print work:

Fabric Quality: Smooth, soft, and consistent—so the ink lays clean and even.
Print Compatibility: Must handle DTG, screen printing, and DTF transfer without issues.
Fit & Style: Tanks that customers actually want to wear—flattering cuts, not boxy or outdated.
Color Range & Consistency: Strong color selection with minimal dye variation batch to batch.
Availability & Price Point: Easy to restock, affordable for bulk, and reliable inventory.

Clean fit. Soft feel. Solid print surface.

The Barnard Tank Tee is one of our go-to blanks for clients who want retail-quality results without a hassle. Made from a lightweight cotton-poly blend, it holds up great across DTG, screen printing, and DTF—with minimal bleed and consistent ink coverage. The fabric is smooth enough for full-color prints and detailed graphics, and the side seams help maintain alignment during runs.

We use this tank regularly for modern brands and drop-style merch because it looks finished right off the press. No boxy fits, no rough textures—just a clean, ready-to-wear tank that prints as good as it looks.

Blank Price: As low as $8.87
Best for: Streetwear, fitness merch, and clean full-front prints
Fabric: 60% combed ring-spun cotton / 40% polyester
Fit: Retail fit, side-seamed
Print Methods: DTG, screen print, DTF

DTG-ready. No minimums. Straightforward choice.

This 100% cotton tank prints well with DTG, especially on lighter colors. The fabric has enough weight and stability to take pretreat evenly and hold detail without distortion. It’s not a fashion fit—this is a standard, classic tank that gets the job done.

No order minimum makes it ideal for one-offs, samples, or short runs without locking you into bulk. If you need a basic tank that works reliably with DTG and ships fast, this is one of our top picks.

Blank Price: As low as $6.59
Best for: One-off prints, test runs, low-commitment jobs
Fabric: 100% preshrunk cotton
Fit: Classic fit, tubular
Print Methods: DTG

Wide print area. Clean DTG results. Built like a tee.

This isn’t a traditional tank—it’s a sleeveless t-shirt with full shoulders and a boxier frame. That extra fabric gives you a larger, flatter surface for DTG, making alignment easier and helping prints come out sharp and centered. The 100% cotton fabric takes pretreat well and produces solid results, especially for bold, high-contrast designs.

It’s not a fashion-forward cut, but it works great for athletic prints, workwear, or anywhere function matters more than style.

Blank Price: As low as $8.33
Best for: Athletic brands, workwear, bold DTG prints
Fabric: 100% preshrunk cotton
Fit: Full shoulder cut, loose fit
Print Methods: DTG

Lightweight, smooth, and easy to print.

This tank is made from 100% cotton jersey with a tighter weave than most lightweight tanks, which helps produce clean results across DTG, screen printing, and DTF. It’s breathable without being see-through, and the print surface stays stable during production.

The fit leans toward casual, not oversized, but not slim either, making it a solid middle-ground option for brands that need something simple, printable, and consistent.

Blank Price: As low as $6.25
Best for: Summer drops, casual merch, and all-around print flexibility
Fabric: 100% cotton jersey
Fit: Standard fit, side-seamed
Print Methods: DTG, screen print, DTF

Smooth jersey. Flattering fit. Prints stay sharp.

This racerback tank is made from combed cotton jersey with just the right amount of stretch. It takes DTG, screen printing, and DTF extremely well, especially across the back panel, which offers a wide, clean space for designs. The fabric is smooth and even, which helps keep detail crisp and ink bleed to a minimum.

The racerback cut is form-fitting but not tight, and it's a frequent choice for fitness brands or women’s summer merch. If you need a reliable women’s blank that looks good and prints clean, this one consistently delivers.

Blank Price: As low as $7.39
Best for: Women’s fitness and lifestyle brands, summer collections
Fabric: 100% combed ring-spun cotton (blends vary by color)
Fit: Slim fit, racerback cut
Print Methods: DTG, screen print, DTF

Lightweight feel. Clean print surface. Relaxed fit.

This women’s tank is part of the Softstyle line, so you’re getting a finer cotton with a smoother finish—ideal for DTG, screen print, and DTF. It handles full-color designs well, with minimal fibrillation and even ink coverage. The neckline and armholes are slightly lower than average, giving it a more relaxed, easygoing fit compared to racerback styles.

It’s a solid choice when you need a softer women’s cut that still holds print detail without issues.

Blank Price: As low as $7.10
Best for: Laid-back women’s merch, full-front DTG prints, casual drops
Fabric: 100% ring-spun cotton (fiber content may vary by color)
Fit: Semi-fitted, classic tank cut (not racerback)
Print Methods: DTG, screen print, DTF

Soft drape. Loose fit. Great for full-front prints.

This tank is made from combed ring-spun cotton with a looser, flowy fit that sets it apart from more fitted styles. The fabric is smooth and lightweight, which makes it well-suited for DTG, screen printing, and DTF, especially when printing across the chest or lower front. Because of the relaxed cut, it's a good choice when clients want comfort without a tight silhouette.

We use this one often for lifestyle brands or summer merch where feel and shape matter just as much as the print.

Blank Price: As low as $8.92
Best for: Women’s lifestyle drops, comfort-focused merch, soft DTG prints
Fabric: 100% combed ring-spun cotton (blends vary by color)
Fit: Relaxed fit, side-seamed
Print Methods: DTG, screen print, DTF

Classic shape. Smooth surface. Reliable for everyday prints.

This is a lightweight, standard-fit women’s tank with clean lines and a balanced cut—not too slim, not too loose. The jersey fabric is soft and even, which makes it easy to work with across DTG, screen printing, and DTF. It's a straightforward, dependable blank that doesn’t fight the press or warp under heat.

If you're looking for a go-to women's tank that holds detail well and fits a wide range of wearers, this one earns its spot.

Blank Price: As low as $8.27
Best for: Basic women’s merch, brand staples, daily wear
Fabric: 100% combed ring-spun cotton (heathers contain poly)
Fit: Standard fit, classic tank cut
Print Methods: DTG, screen print, DTF

Relaxed, soft, and built for clean prints.

This tank has a loose, drapey fit with wide-cut armholes and a curved hem—ideal for women’s merch with a laid-back vibe. The fabric is lightweight but smooth, which makes it well-suited for DTG, screen printing, and DTF. The cut allows for solid front and back prints without placement issues, and the fit makes it popular for summer drops or lifestyle branding.

It’s a go-to when the client wants something softer and more styled than a standard tank, without sacrificing print quality.

Blank Price: As low as $7.42
Best for: Women’s lifestyle brands, festivals, soft DTG prints
Fabric: 65% polyester / 35% viscose
Fit: Relaxed fit, curved hem, low-cut armholes
Print Methods: DTG, screen print, DTF

Edge-to-edge print space. Clean lines. Great for bold designs.

This unisex muscle tank is made from smooth, ring-spun cotton and has wide, flat panels that are ideal for DTG, screen printing, and DTF. The lack of sleeves and the straight-cut armholes give you more usable space without distortion—great for full-front or oversized prints.

The fit is retail-style but unisex, so it works across a range of client types, especially for streetwear, fitness, and lifestyle merch that leans minimal or bold.

Blank Price: As low as $9.13
Best for: Bold graphics, unisex merch, fitness, and lifestyle drops
Fabric: 100% combed ring-spun cotton (blends vary by color)
Fit: Unisex, retail cut, wide armholes
Print Methods: DTG, screen print, DTF
