Frequently asked questions
What is the minimum order for custom tank tops?
Typically 50 pieces per style. The exact minimum depends on the fabric and production process, and is confirmed in your quote.
What is the difference between a muscle tank and a stringer?
A muscle tank is cut like a t-shirt with the sleeves removed, so it has wide armholes. A stringer has very low armholes and narrow straps, mostly for the gym.
Can you make team singlets?
Yes, in mesh or performance polyester, with sublimated designs, names and numbers.
Which fabric is best for a gym tank?
A cotton/polyester blend or tri-blend for a soft lifestyle tank, or a polyester or nylon knit with elastane if it needs to wick sweat.
How long does a sample take?
Samples typically take 2–3 weeks, and the sample cost is stated in your quote. Once you approve the sample, bulk orders are usually delivered 3–4 weeks from the order date, including shipping.
