AllChinaBuy T-Shirts
Print placement, collar construction, and blank weight — how to evaluate t-shirt quality on AllChinaBuy.
About This Category
T-shirts are the highest-volume category in most spreadsheets because they are affordable, easy to ship, and versatile. However, the gap between excellent and mediocre is wide. The blank itself — its cotton blend, collar ribbing, and shoulder stitching — determines how the shirt wears over time. The print method (screen print, DTF, or heat transfer) affects how the design ages after washing. AllChinaBuy spreadsheet entries often flag which sellers use premium blanks versus generic cuts.
What to Look For
- Collar ribbing should be at least 1x1 or 2x1 knit.
- Screen-printed designs age better than heat transfers.
- Shoulder seams should sit at the shoulder edge.
- Check print placement against retail center-chest measurements.
- Fabric should be soft but have some structure, not tissue-thin.
Common Mistakes
- Ordering the cheapest option without checking blank quality.
- Assuming front print alignment is always centered.
- Ignoring print-to-fabric texture differences.
- Not checking whether the print is cracked in QC.
- Forgetting to account for shrinkage in sizing.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if a t-shirt blank is good?
Check the gsm (200+ is preferable) and collar construction. A quality blank uses reinforced collar stitching and ribbing that resists baconing after washes.
Will the print crack after washing?
Screen-printed designs generally hold up well. Heat-transferred or DTF prints may crack or peel over time, especially if washed hot or tumble-dried.
Should I size up for oversized t-shirts?
Most spreadsheet entries list the blank type and whether it is already oversized. If the seller uses a standard blank, you may need to size up. Compare the size chart to a shirt you own.
What is the difference between DTF and screen print?
Screen print sits within the fabric fibers and ages naturally. DTF (direct-to-film) adds a slightly raised plastic layer that can feel different and may peel under stress.
