MuleBuy T-Shirts
Guide & Buying Hub 2026
T-shirt finds decoded — print methods, blank quality, collar construction, and how to spot the best value rows in the MuleBuy spreadsheet.
Understanding T-Shirts on the MuleBuy Spreadsheet
T-shirts are the easiest entry point into the MuleBuy spreadsheet because they are affordable, lightweight to ship, and relatively low-risk. However, not all T-shirt rows are created equal. The spreadsheet distinguishes between screen-print, DTG, and heat-transfer methods, and those distinctions directly affect how the print ages after washing. This hub teaches you how to read those print-type tags, what collar construction to expect at different price tiers, and which QC photos matter most.
Buying Tips
- 1
Screen-print ages better than DTG for heavy graphics — check the print-type column.
- 2
Collar rib width is a fast quality signal: wider rib usually means a better blank.
- 3
Ask for a neck-label photo during QC; misaligned labels are common.
- 4
Bundling 3-5 T-shirts in one haul reduces per-item shipping cost significantly.
QC Observation Points
- 1
Print registration accuracy against seams
- 2
Collar rib width and double-stitch finish
- 3
Neck label alignment and font crispness
- 4
Hem stitch consistency and thread color
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- 1
Buying the cheapest row without checking print-type — heat transfers crack fast
- 2
Ignoring the blank weight note; sub-200 GSM shirts feel flimsy
- 3
Not requesting a front-and-back flat lay during QC
- 4
Ordering white tees from suppliers flagged for off-white blanks
Risk Notes
Heat-transfer prints can crack after 3-5 washes. If the spreadsheet marks a row as 'HT' and you plan to wear the piece frequently, consider upgrading to a screen-print alternative even if it costs slightly more.
