Finding quality blank apparel at a genuinely low per-unit cost is harder than it sounds — most wholesale suppliers either compromise on fabric or bury the real price behind minimum quantity fine print. This $6 and Under collection cuts straight to the point: every style here starts below six dollars, with automatic volume discounts that push costs even lower as your order grows. Whether you're a decorator building out a screen print catalog, an event organizer sourcing shirts for a crowd, or a small business putting together a uniform run, this is where most buyers start — and keep coming back.
The workhorses of this collection are the blanks that decorators reach for first. The Gildan G500 Adult Heavy Cotton T-Shirt is the most-ordered blank in the wholesale market for a reason: 5.3-ounce ring-spun cotton, consistent sizing across a wide range of colors, and a price that makes large runs genuinely feasible. It prints cleanly, holds up through wash cycles, and covers just about every use case from charity walks to school events. The youth version, the G500B, brings the same reliability to kids' sizing. For buyers who want a softer hand feel in the same price range, the Gildan G640 Softstyle is a 4.5-ounce ring-spun tee that sits noticeably softer against the skin — popular for retail-style runs where the fabric feel matters to the end customer.
Not everything under six dollars is a basic cotton tee. The Gildan G800 is a 50/50 poly-cotton blend that's lighter, resists shrinking better than straight cotton, and works well for applications where poly content improves ink absorption. The Jerzees 29M DRI-POWER Active Tee adds moisture management to that blend — a solid choice for athletic programs, team uniforms, and anyone who needs a blank that performs in active settings.
For decorators who want a fashion-forward blank at this price point, the Bella+Canvas 3001C is the standout here. It's a jersey-knit blank with a modern, tapered fit that photographs well and feels significantly more premium than its cost suggests — which is exactly why it's one of the most popular blanks in the custom print industry. The Next Level N6210 CVC Crewneck is another strong option in this tier — a cotton-poly blend with a subtle heathered texture and a soft, slightly stretchy hand feel that works especially well for lifestyle and retail-style merch. Rounding out the tops, the Next Level N1533 Ladies Racerback Tank is the most popular women's tank in the wholesale blank space — lightweight, flattering, and consistently in stock across a wide color range.
This collection spans well beyond tees and tanks — you'll also find wholesale hats and caps, polos, tank tops, blank hoodies, and more, all at starting prices under six dollars. Combined with Bulkthreads' automatic volume discounts (applied at checkout, no codes needed), this collection is one of the most cost-effective ways to stock up on quality wholesale blanks from brands like Gildan, Bella+Canvas, Next Level, and Jerzees — without compromising on the brands and styles you actually want.
