Whether the order calls for a classic cotton tee, a fashion-forward women's tank, or a moisture-wicking performance racerback, the styles here span a wide range of price points and fabric constructions. All orders ship same day with automatic volume discounts applied at checkout.

Women's Racerback and Muscle Tanks

The Next Level N1533 Ladies' Ideal Racerback Tank is one of the more widely stocked women's tanks in the wholesale market — a lightweight 60/40 combed cotton/polyester racerback from $3.69 that prints well and fits a wide range of retail and event applications. For a softer triblend option, the Next Level 6733 Triblend Racerback Tank and the Bella+Canvas 8430 Ladies' Triblend Racerback Tank both offer a heathered, retail-quality finish at a competitive wholesale price. The Bella+Canvas B8800 Ladies' Flowy Racerback Tank is a 100% polyester flowy style with a draped fit popular with event and lifestyle brands. For a more structured muscle tank silhouette, the Bella+Canvas B6003 Ladies' Jersey Muscle Tank delivers a clean, form-fitting build in Bella's standard 100% Airlume cotton jersey. The Next Level N5013 Ladies' Festival Muscle Tank offers a similar silhouette in a slightly more relaxed, festival-influenced cut. For a more casual drape, the Bella+Canvas 8838 Ladies' Slouchy Tank is a semi-fit tank with a longer body and relaxed shoulders — a frequent pick for lifestyle and boutique merch. The Bella+Canvas 6682 Women's Racerback Cropped Tank covers the cropped silhouette for brands targeting a younger or athleisure-oriented customer. The Bella+Canvas 6488 Ladies' Relaxed Jersey Tank and Port & Company LPC54TT Ladies Core Cotton Tank round out the women's tank category with straightforward, affordable cotton options. The District DM138L Women's Perfect Tri Racerback Tank and DT137L Rocker Tank both use District's Perfect Tri blend for a lightweight, heathered look at a mid-range wholesale price.

Unisex and Men's Tanks

The Bella+Canvas 3480 Unisex Jersey Tank is a staple unisex tank in Bella's Airlume combed and ring-spun cotton — a clean, form-fitting build that works well for screen printing and DTG across a wide size run. The Gildan G220 Ultra Cotton Tank Top covers the value end of the unisex tank category, with a heavier 6 oz. 100% cotton build starting under $5. For men's, the Next Level 3633 Men's Cotton Tank offers a fitted silhouette in combed ring-spun cotton — a step up from a basic athletic tank in terms of fabric quality and retail appearance. The Comfort Colors C9360 Adult Heavyweight RS Tank brings Comfort Colors' garment-dyed look to a tank silhouette — a popular choice for brands that want the lived-in, washed aesthetic that Comfort Colors is known for, available in a wide range of Comfort Colors' signature colorways.

Short-Sleeve T-Shirts and V-Necks

The Gildan G500 Adult Heavy Cotton T-Shirt anchors the value end of the short-sleeve category — a 5.3 oz. 100% cotton tee from $2.79 that remains one of the most widely used blanks in the decorator market. The Bella+Canvas 3001C Unisex Jersey T-Shirt is the fashion-blank alternative at a moderate step up in price, built from Airlume combed and ring-spun cotton for a softer hand and a slimmer retail silhouette. For a poly-cotton blend construction, the Bella+Canvas 3650 Unisex Poly-Cotton Short-Sleeve T-Shirt offers a noticeably soft hand with a slightly different print surface than a standard cotton tee. On the women's side, the Bella+Canvas B6400 Ladies' Relaxed Jersey Short-Sleeve T-Shirt is a looser, more casual fit in Airlume jersey — a strong option for women's retail-adjacent orders that need a non-fitted silhouette. For v-neck styles, the Bella+Canvas 3005 Unisex Jersey V-Neck and 6405 Ladies' Relaxed V-Neck cover both unisex and women's fits, while the B6035 Ladies' Deep V-Neck extends the neckline for a more fashion-forward silhouette.

Performance and Athletic Tanks

The Team 365 TT11WRC Ladies' Performance Racerback Tank is one of the more affordable performance racerbacks in the catalog — a moisture-wicking polyester build starting under $5, widely used for athletic teams, running events, and volunteer uniforms. The Sport-Tek LST356 Ladies' PosiCharge Competitor Racerback Tank and LST402 PosiCharge Tri-Blend Wicking Tank offer Sport-Tek's PosiCharge color-retention technology in performance builds — the LST356 in a 100% polyester construction and the LST402 in a softer tri-blend. Both are reliable choices for athletic decoration orders where colorfastness through repeated washing matters.

Youth Styles

The Bella+Canvas 3480Y Youth Jersey Tank and B8800Y Youth Girls' Flowy Racerback Tank extend the core Bella+Canvas tank catalog into youth sizing — useful for family event runs, youth sports, and children's brand merch where matching adult and youth styles in the same colorway matters.

All styles in this collection ship same day via UPS Ground and typically arrive in 1–3 business days.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of apparel are in the Bulkthreads summer collection?

The summer collection covers lightweight, warm-weather wholesale blanks: women's racerback and muscle tanks, unisex and men's tank tops, short-sleeve t-shirts, v-necks, cropped tanks, flowy tanks, triblend racerbacks, and moisture-wicking performance tanks. Key brands include Bella+Canvas, Next Level, Gildan, Comfort Colors, District, Sport-Tek, and Team 365, across a wide range of price points from under $3 to around $9 for most styles.

What is the most affordable women's tank top in the summer collection?

The Next Level N1533 Ladies' Ideal Racerback Tank starts at $3.69, making it one of the lower-priced women's tanks in the collection. The Team 365 TT11WRC Ladies' Performance Racerback Tank is a comparable value at $4.33 for buyers who need a moisture-wicking athletic build rather than a fashion blank. The Port & Company LPC54TT Ladies Core Cotton Tank is another budget-friendly option starting around $5.

What is the difference between the Bella+Canvas B8800 and the 8430 racerback tanks?

The B8800 is a 100% polyester flowy racerback with a draped, loose silhouette — it moves like a woven garment and is popular for event, yoga, and lifestyle brands that want visible movement. The 8430 is a triblend (poly/cotton/rayon) in a more fitted racerback silhouette with a heathered, soft-to-the-touch finish. The 8430 prints more like a standard jersey; the B8800's polyester construction requires dye-sublimation or poly-appropriate inks for best results.

Which summer tanks work best for high-volume screen printing?

The Gildan G220 Ultra Cotton Tank and Next Level N1533 are among the most commonly used for high-volume screen print runs — both have relatively stable, flat print surfaces and are priced for large-quantity orders. The Bella+Canvas 3480 Unisex Jersey Tank is a step up in fabric quality for orders where a softer hand matters. For athletic and event runs where moisture management is needed, the Team 365 TT11WRC and Sport-Tek LST356 are reliable performance options with polyester surfaces suited for plastisol and performance inks.

Do Comfort Colors tanks come in the same colorways as their t-shirts?

The Comfort Colors C9360 Adult Heavyweight RS Tank shares much of Comfort Colors' garment-dyed color palette, though the specific colorway availability for tanks is narrower than for the full C1717 t-shirt lineup. The core and extended color variants stocked on Bulkthreads cover the most in-demand shades. For exact color-matching across styles in a Comfort Colors order, checking the specific product pages for current stock is the most reliable approach.

Can I order a mix of tanks and tees in the same order and still get volume discounts?

Yes. Automatic volume discounts at Bulkthreads apply at checkout across the order total — no codes required and no restriction to a single style or product. Mixed orders combining tanks, short-sleeve tees, and other styles all qualify for the same tiered pricing.
