The giveaway tee attendees actually wear is the one that keeps advertising for you. The one that feels like a paper bag ends up as a gym rag or the trash. The blank you pick matters as much as the print, so here is how we choose for expo booths.
Bella+Canvas 3001: the default
Our go-to for expo giveaways. The 3001 is a soft ringspun tee with a modern, non-boxy fit that reads as retail, not swag. Attendees keep it and wear it, which is the whole point of a wearable ad. DTF prints on it clean and bright.
Gildan 5000 and 64000: the budget workhorse
When volume matters more than feel — a huge multi-day show moving thousands of shirts — Gildan holds up. The 64000 softstyle splits the difference with a softer hand than the classic 5000 heavyweight.
Match the blank to the goal
- Want attendees to wear it home? Spend on Bella+Canvas 3001.
- Moving huge volume on a tight budget? Gildan basics.
- Want a premium keepsake? Skip tees for a Richardson 112 cap with a pressed patch.
Don't forget fit and sizes
Stock a real size run including women's-cut options and 2XL/3XL, and pre-fold your common sizes so the line never stalls. A giveaway that only comes in unisex large is a giveaway half your booth won't take.
