Bella Canvas

Bella+Canvas Wholesale Blank Tees & Apparel

Bella+Canvas is one of the most requested brands in wholesale decorated apparel. The Bella+Canvas catalog at Bulkthreads.com combines retail-quality fabrics with the consistent sizing and color runs that decorators and bulk buyers depend on — at wholesale pricing with automatic volume discounts applied at checkout.

The 3001: Where Most Decorators Start

The 3001 Unisex Jersey Tee is one of the more widely ordered blank tees in the wholesale market. At 4.2 oz., it uses airlume combed and ring-spun cotton for a noticeably softer hand than most tees at its price point, and it prints cleanly across every major decoration method — screen printing, DTG, DTF, and embroidery. The retail fit is a significant part of its appeal: it's the kind of blank that end customers actually want to wear. For a heathered finish, the 3001CVC delivers the same silhouette in a cotton/poly blend with subtle texture and a slightly more casual feel. The 3413 Tri-Blend Tee rounds out the core lineup — a 50/25/25 cotton/poly/rayon blend with a soft, lived-in drape that works particularly well for vintage and lifestyle print programs.

Women's, Heavyweights, and Specialty Styles

Bella+Canvas has one of the stronger women's selections in the wholesale blank market. The B6400 Ladies' Relaxed Jersey Tee is a decorator favorite for its relaxed fit, while the 6413 Ladies' Relaxed Triblend adds a soft, worn-in feel that works well for lifestyle brands and boutique print runs. On the heavier end, the 4610 Unisex 7.5 oz. Heavyweight Tee and the 4810GD Garment-Dyed Heavyweight are gaining traction with buyers who want more structure and a streetwear-influenced silhouette.

Tanks and Fleece

For warm-weather print runs, Bella+Canvas covers a wide range of tank constructions. The 3005 Unisex Jersey Tank is the straightforward sleeveless counterpart to the 3001 — same airlume cotton, same print-friendly surface. The BC3484 Unisex Triblend Tank adds a lightweight drape and soft tri-blend hand feel for lifestyle programs, and the 1012 Women's Micro Rib Spaghetti Strap Tank is a strong choice for fashion-forward spring and summer runs. On the fleece side, the B7503 Ladies' Cropped Fleece Crew is a popular pick for boutique programs that want a more current silhouette.

Bella+Canvas sits at the premium end of the blank tee market. For comparable fashion-forward alternatives, Next Level Apparel and American Apparel are worth comparing, and Allmade is a strong option for programs with a sustainability focus.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Bella+Canvas known for in wholesale blank apparel?

Bella+Canvas is known for retail-quality fabrics and fashion-forward fits at wholesale pricing. The brand is a common choice for decorators producing merch intended for resale, boutique print runs, and lifestyle brands where the end customer's experience of the garment matters as much as the decoration. Its airlume combed and ring-spun cotton—used in styles like the 3001—produces a noticeably softer hand than most blanks at a comparable price point.

What is the Bella+Canvas 3001 and why is it widely used for decoration?

The 3001 Unisex Jersey Tee is a 4.2 oz. airlume combed and ring-spun cotton blank with a retail-style fit. It's one of the more frequently ordered blanks in the wholesale market because it works across multiple decoration methods—screen printing, DTG, DTF, and embroidery—and produces a finished product that feels premium to the end wearer. Its consistent sizing and broad color range also make it practical for large or complex runs.

What is the difference between the Bella+Canvas 3001, 3001CVC, and 3413?

The 3001 is a 100% airlume cotton tee with a clean, smooth surface — the most straightforward option for print clarity. The 3001CVC is a cotton/poly blend in the same silhouette, adding a subtle heathered texture and slightly more casual feel. The 3413 Tri-Blend adds rayon to the mix for a softer, more drapey fabric with a lived-in appearance that works well for vintage and lifestyle aesthetics. The right choice usually comes down to the look and hand feel your end customers prefer.

What Bella+Canvas blank works best for women's apparel programs?

The B6400 Ladies' Relaxed Jersey Tee is a widely used option for women's decoration runs — it has a relaxed fit that works across a range of body types and takes decoration cleanly. For a softer, more worn-in feel, the 6413 Ladies' Relaxed Triblend is a popular alternative, particularly for boutique and lifestyle brands. Both are commonly used for retail-style merch programs targeting women's sizing.

Does Bella+Canvas make heavyweight blanks?

Yes. The 4610 Unisex Heavyweight Tee comes in at 7.5 oz., offering significantly more structure than the standard 3001. The 4810GD Garment-Dyed Heavyweight adds a vintage, washed finish on top of that weight, making it a strong option for streetwear-influenced programs. Both are gaining popularity with buyers who want a blank that feels more substantial in hand.

How does Bella+Canvas compare to Next Level Apparel for wholesale blank tees?

Both brands sit at the premium end of the wholesale blank market. Bella+Canvas tends to be associated with a wider color range, a broader catalog of specialty styles, and a tapered, fashion-forward fit. Next Level is often noted for its softer hand feel — particularly in its CVC and triblend styles — and a slightly more relaxed silhouette. The best fit usually depends on the end customer's preference and the specific decoration method being used. Bulkthreads carries both, making it straightforward to compare before committing to a larger run.

Do Bella+Canvas blanks at Bulkthreads come with volume discounts?

Yes. Automatic volume discounts are applied at checkout across the Bella+Canvas catalog — no codes required. The per-unit price decreases as order size grows, making it a practical option for merch runs, event sourcing, and screen print catalog builds of any scale.
