Frequently asked questions
About Gildan Heavy Cotton T-Shirt (5000)
Product specifications sourced from our UK print partners.
- Supply vector artwork (AI, EPS or vector PDF) with all fonts converted to outlines
- Separate each ink colour and give us the Pantone reference for every one
- Keep line weights above 0.75pt and type above 6pt so fine detail holds through the mesh
- Avoid gradients, drop shadows and halftones below 15% — they break up on fabric
- Build the design at 100% of the finished print size and keep it 20mm inside seams and hems
- Full-colour photographic designs are printed DTG instead — send a 300 DPI PNG for those
The Gildan Heavy Cotton 5000 is the workhorse of printed t-shirts: 180gsm ring-spun cotton with a full, slightly boxy fit that holds a printed design flat instead of letting it distort across the chest.
It is the shirt to choose when the print matters more than the drape — event crews, club shirts, promotional runs and anything that will be washed hard and often. The heavier cloth takes screen and DTG ink well and keeps colour after repeated washing.
If you want something softer and closer to a fashion fit, look at the Softstyle 64000 instead; if you want the print to look its best on a budget, buy this one.
- 180gsm heavy cotton
- Print-friendly flat chest
- Wash-durable
Gildan Heavy Cotton T-Shirt (5000) buying guide
Written by our studio team — what to choose, and what usually goes wrong.
- Classic, roomy cut — most people take their usual size, but it runs generous on the body compared with modern retail tees.
- Order a size sample before a large staff run; returning 60 shirts because the size chart was guessed is an expensive lesson.
- Ladies' fit is a separate garment, not a smaller version of this one.
