“Saved 18% switching our Gildan + Bella program over. Same brands, same SKUs, better prices and faster shipping.”
“Tax-exempt status got applied the same day we uploaded the cert. Old vendor took us 3 weeks. Night and day.”
“The mega-menu makes finding what we need so much easier than scrolling through SanMar's massive catalog. Categorization is spot on.”
“Set up our school uniform PO program in one phone call. Multi-user account, approval workflow, the whole thing.”
“Apple Pay + Google Pay at checkout means my staff can purchase from their phones in seconds. Big workflow win.”
These three brands print more wholesale tees in the US than every other label combined. Here's how to pick between them when you're sourcing your next 1,000-piece run.
Gildan dominates promo, school, and event work because it's the cheapest per-piece at scale, ships in massive color ranges, and runs reliably on every auto press. The fit is boxy — classic American midweight, not modern.
Bella+Canvas is the go-to for DTC brands, lifestyle promo, and anyone whose customer cares about fit. The 3001 has a slightly tapered cut, side seams, and ring-spun feel — it costs 30-50% more than equivalent Gildan but reads as a retail garment.
Next Level competes with Bella on softness but pushes harder into tri-blends, fitted cuts, and limited streetwear-inspired colors. If you're selling at a higher price point, Next Level often "feels" more premium than Bella for similar cost.
