Top 10 High-Quality T-Shirts for Printing

Not all T-shirts are built the same. Some shrink, fade, or feel like sandpaper after one wash. Others actually hold up, feel good, and make your prints pop. This list is about those—the T-shirts that are actually worth printing on.

Next Level Apparel Premium Short Sleeve T-shirt

 

This V-neck from Next Level is a smooth, soft, and print-ready custom short sleeve shirt. Made with 100% combed ringspun cotton, it offers a clean surface that works great for detailed designs. The fit is modern and comfortable, with a set-in 1x1 baby rib collar for a subtle touch of style. The tear-away label makes it easy to rebrand. Heather Grey is blended with polyester for that heathered texture.

  • Price: Low as $9.23
  • Sizes: XS – 3XL

A Few Things to Keep in Mind

Now that you've seen the top picks, it's worth noting a few details. Fabric blends can affect how colors pop, some shirts shrink more than others, and not every “soft” tee holds up the same after printing. Always check the cut, weight, and material against your printing method—especially if you're scaling production or selling retail. And if you're experimenting with styles (like V-necks or tie-dyes), always test a sample before going all-in.
