Fabric & design specifications
Fabric Construction & Quality Standards
We source our AC Moore blank t-shirts from mills that meet strict quality standards for consistency and craftability. Every shirt undergoes pre-shrinking treatment that stabilizes the fabric before it reaches your workspace, ensuring your finished dimensions match your design intentions even after customer washing.
The cotton we select features medium-length fibers that create a smooth printing surface while maintaining breathability and comfort. Our extensive color palette uses colorfast dyes formulated to withstand heat pressing temperatures up to 375°F without fading or discoloration. Each production run is tested for colorfastness, dimensional stability, and surface smoothness to guarantee the ac moore t shirts you order today match future reorders.
Sizing Guide & Fit Information
Our sizing follows industry-standard measurements that align with major blank apparel suppliers, making it simple to transition your existing size charts to AC Moore products. Adult unisex styles feature a classic fit with set-in sleeves and side seams that create structure without feeling restrictive. The shoulder-to-shoulder measurement runs generous enough to accommodate various body types while maintaining a polished appearance.
Youth sizes mirror standard children’s apparel measurements, with the XS fitting ages 2-4, S for ages 6-8, M for ages 10-12, L for ages 14-16, and XL accommodating ages 18-20. We recommend measuring a well-fitting garment and comparing to our size charts rather than relying solely on age, since children’s proportions vary significantly.
Decoration Techniques & Compatibility
AC Moore t-shirts excel across all popular decoration methods, from traditional screen printing to modern heat transfer vinyl and direct-to-garment printing. The fabric’s smooth, tight knit provides excellent definition for fine details in screen printing, with fibers that don’t show through plastisol or water-based inks. We’ve tested our blanks with major ink brands to verify cure temperatures and wash durability.
For heat transfer vinyl applications, our shirts withstand repeated heat pressing without scorching or developing shiny marks. The cotton fibers accept adhesive cleanly and release transfer paper or carrier sheets without lifting. Crafters working with various arts and crafts techniques appreciate how well our fabric accepts fabric paint, tie-dye, bleach designs, and other surface treatments.

Common Questions About AC Moore Blank Apparel
Our blank t-shirts are designed to excel with all major decoration techniques. Screen printing produces crisp, detailed results with both plastisol and water-based inks. Heat transfer vinyl adheres cleanly and withstands repeated washing without peeling or cracking.
Direct-to-garment printing delivers vibrant colors with excellent detail, while traditional methods like tie-dye, fabric paint, and bleach designs create beautiful effects. The fabric also accommodates embroidery and appliqué work without requiring heavy stabilizers that compromise comfort.
AC Moore t-shirts undergo pre-shrinking treatment during manufacturing that stabilizes the fabric before it reaches you. When following our care instructions—cold water wash and low-heat or air drying—you can expect less than 2% shrinkage, which is considered minimal in the apparel industry.
For decorated garments, we recommend washing samples before large production runs to account for any minor dimensional changes. The pre-shrinking process ensures consistent sizing across orders, so replacement shirts will match your original inventory.
Yes, our adult unisex styles are available from Small through 3XL to accommodate diverse body types. The classic fit with side seams provides structure across the size range while maintaining comfort.
Youth sizes run from XS (ages 2-4) through XL (ages 18-20). For customers seeking fitted women’s styles, our v-neck shirts offer a semi-fitted silhouette with sizing that runs approximately one size smaller than unisex styles for a more tailored look.
We offer mixed color assortments specifically for crafters and small businesses who want variety without committing to full case packs of single colors. Individual shirts are available in minimum quantities that vary by style, typically starting at 6-12 pieces.
For larger projects requiring specific color distributions, our customer service team can help coordinate custom assortments. We maintain deep inventory in popular colors like white, black, navy, and heather gray to support both sample orders and bulk production runs.
Unlike retail shirts designed only for wearing, our ac moore t shirts are engineered specifically for decoration. The fabric’s smooth, tight knit creates an ideal printing surface without texture that shows through inks or vinyl.
We use tearaway labels instead of printed tags, eliminating the scratchy elements that interfere with comfort and custom branding. The reinforced construction withstands the stress of hooping, heat pressing, and handling during decoration processes. Pre-shrinking ensures your finished dimensions match your design plans, and our colorfast dyes maintain vibrancy through repeated heat application and washing.
Keep blank shirts in their original packaging in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight to prevent premature fading. Avoid damp environments that could cause mildew or musty odors.
For opened packages, store shirts folded or hung in a clean area protected from dust and debris. We recommend organizing inventory by size and color for efficient access during production. Shirts stored properly maintain their crisp, ready-to-decorate condition indefinitely, though we suggest rotating stock to use older inventory first and keep your offerings fresh.
We stand behind the quality of every AC Moore shirt and will replace any items with manufacturing defects. Blank, undecorated shirts in original packaging can be returned within 30 days of purchase for a full refund or exchange.
For decorated or customized items, we cannot accept returns unless the defect existed before decoration and can be verified. We recommend inspecting all blank inventory before beginning your decoration process and contacting us immediately if you notice any quality issues. Our customer service team works quickly to resolve concerns and keep your projects on schedule.
