Bella+Canvas Brand

The Bella + Canvas brand is all about the premium basics of superior craftsmanship, high quality materials and a commitment to sustainability. After years of establishing itself in the printing industry, the Bella Canvas brand is the go-to apparel company for wholesalers, retailers and home businesses. Focusing on innovation and inspiration, they are constantly looking for new ways to develop never-been-seen-before fabrics and colors.

Bella Canvas uses efficient dye machines that use seven times less water than the average clothing manufacturer, saving 24 million gallons of water each week. Water that is used goes through a filtration system that allows it to be recycled. The company reduces its CO2 emissions by utilizing solar energy, motion sensor LED lighting and skylights.

Virtually zero waste, Bella Canvas manufacturing facilities and the LA headquarters recycle nearly everything that can't be turned into a t-shirt. Cutting is optimized to reduce plastic use and excess fabric is recycled into items such as baby bibs and upholstery stuffing.

Airlume Ring-Spun Cotton

Instead of other blank t-shirts that are made of regular cotton, Bella Canvas uses a much higher quality 100% Airlume combed and ring-spun cotton. This amazing cotton was specifically developed for Bella Canvas' blank tees.

Only the finest and purest long staple cotton is selected for production. Long staple cotton offers a much softer and delicate feel because the actual cotton fiber is longer than traditional short staple cotton. The tight even knit of long staple cotton make it ideal for accepting dye often used in the printing industry.

As all Bella Canvas 3001 t-shirts are constructed with Airlume combed and ring-spun cotton, the printed design on these shirts are clearer, more vibrant and longer lasting than the standard industry brand.

Side Seams, Fit and Feel

Blank t-shirts are designed and produced in various ways with some being tubular and others made with side seams. Due to the longer and more complex seaming process, side seam tees are a little more expensive than single piece tubular tees.

Tubular t-shirts are likely found at tourist shops and county fairs while side seam t-shirts are often seen sold in a retail setting. Side seams tees have a tighter fit around the body to reveal a better looking and more flattering figure. Bella Canvas never produces a tubular tee. All of its blank t shirts are side seam including the popular Bella+Canvas 3001 and its variations.

The Bella Canvas 3001 tee is available in the heather texture, a cotton polyester blend giving the fabric a fuzzier and warmer feel. It also adds a unique, textured look that allows for varying color options.

Bella Canvas offers blank, printable t-shirts in sizes ranging from XS to 4XL to fit many body types. These incredibly versatile tees feature crew necks, tear away labels and shoulder taping to maintain the structure of the shirt for many years.
