About the 5000 Heavy Cotton Tee
The Gildan 5000 is the most-printed shirt in America. It is heavy, boxy, classic, and cheap. If your design is destined for a charity 5K, a family reunion, a school spirit night, or any large-quantity order, this is the blank your printer is going to push.
It is not a fashion tee and it is not trying to be. It is consistent, every printer carries it, and customers know what to expect.
Why sellers pick it
- Lowest wholesale cost of any reliable POD blank
- Available everywhere, no fulfillment surprises
- Boxy classic fit that older buyers still prefer
- Holds up to bulk orders and aggressive washing

Common questions
Should I list a 5000 alongside a 3001 with the same design?
If your audience is mixed-age, yes. Younger buyers tend to pick the 3001. Older buyers tend to pick the 5000. Listing both turns one design into two SKUs.
