The Gildan Ultra Cotton® T-Shirt (G2000) is the ideal foundation for embroidery, and the reason is its weight. Crafted from 6.0 oz. heavy 100% cotton, this shirt is robust, structured, and fully capable of handling high thread counts without pulling or looking flimsy.
If you need your logo to convey authority, quality, and superior longevity, this is the perfect combination:
Premium Finish: Embroidery instantly gives your brand a sense of permanence and higher value that flat printing cannot match. The thread offers a subtle sheen and a texture that feels professional and high-end.
Built-in Stability: The heavy Ultra Cotton fabric is dense enough to securely anchor the embroidery stitching. This ensures your design is crisp, sharp, and durable against the fabric, maintaining its integrity wash after wash.
Comfort with Structure: You retain the classic comfort and roomy fit of a staple Gildan tee, but with the visual elevation of a high-quality embroidered logo—perfect for corporate uniforms, upscale retail staff, or important events.
We need a vector art file (ideally AI, EPS, or Vector PDF). If you only have a high-resolution image (PNG at 300 dpi), it will work, but it may require a one-time digitization fee to convert the logo into a stitch file (DST) that the embroidery machine can read.
Yes, the Gildan Heavy Cotton (G5000) is known for its classic, traditional fit. It is generally roomy and runs true to size. We recommend checking the size chart if you are unsure, as it is a standard, non-fashion-fitted shirt.
Our minimum order quantity for embroidery is typically 12 garments per design. This covers the time and cost required to digitize your logo and set up the machine, ensuring the best value per unit.
Standard turnaround time is 7 to 10 business days after you have approved the final digitized proof. (Note: The initial digitization of your logo takes an additional 1 to 2 days).
You can use up to 12 different thread colors in your logo. We recommend keeping the colors distinct to ensure maximum clarity on smaller embroidered logos.
