When the temperature drops, the Gildan 18000 Heavy Blend Crewneck becomes the most important blank in your arsenal. As the industry standard for high-volume fleece, this 8.0 oz. sweatshirt offers an unbeatable combination of warmth, durability, and cost-effectiveness. Whether you are outfitting a massive corporate retreat, printing high-margin university spirit wear, or launching a seasonal streetwear drop, the 18000 delivers maximum ROI without sacrificing coziness.
Why It’s Perfect for DTF: Fleece can sometimes be tricky to print, but the Gildan 18000’s balanced 50/50 cotton and polyester blend is a DTF powerhouse. The fabric is engineered with air-jet spun yarn, which creates a tighter, smoother printing surface and drastically reduces pilling over time. Our transfers grip the fabric flawlessly, sinking into the blend to provide a heavy-duty, vibrant, and crack-free print that stretches naturally with the garment.
