You've got the vision and design—now you need the right canvas. Gildan offers the perfect foundation: affordable, high-quality, and reliable apparel ready for your creative touch. A blank Gildan tee or hoodie is like a white wall in a new loft—full of potential. Let’s explore how to transform these blanks into standout brand statements and elevate them to premium status.
Popular Gildan Collections
We offer several collections that make it easy to customize your apparel with professional finishes. Here are some of the top Gildan collections for branding:
Hammer Collection
For a rugged, durable feel, the Gildan Hammer collection features heavyweight garments that are perfect for screen printing or embroidery. Think robust, thick fabrics that stand up to the toughest tasks, whether you're outfitting a team or creating a product line. Available in t-shirts, hoodies, and sweatshirts, the Gildan Hammer collection is a great choice for bold, impactful branding.
Softstyle Collection
When you need the perfect balance of comfort and style, the Softstyle collection is a winner. Featuring a more modern, retail-ready fit, Softstyle garments are soft, light, and easy to customize. They’re excellent for both DTG printing and embroidery.
Performance Collection
For activewear or sports team apparel, the Gildan Performance line is the go-to choice. These garments are designed to wick moisture away from the skin, making them ideal for workouts, sports events, and team gear. Whether you opt for screen printing or heat transfer techniques, the Gildan Performance line ensures your branding stays visible and functional.
Your Gildan Style Toolkit: Go Beyond the Basics
Forget basic branding. We’re living in a world where details matter, where every stitch, label, and print tells a unique story. Here’s a quick rundown of the top branding methods you can use on your Gildan apparel:
1. The Classic Statement: Screen Printing
Nothing beats the timeless appeal of screen-printing for bold, vibrant designs. This method is perfect for large batches with simple or intricate graphics, like logos, slogans, or iconic symbols. Whether you’re rocking the Gildan Heavy Cotton for a sturdy, classic vibe or the sleek Softstyle collection for a smooth, modern fit, screen printing is a reliable go-to.

2. Detail Obsessed? Try Embroidery
Looking to add texture and a touch of sophistication? Embroidery is your secret weapon. It’s perfect for logos on Ultra Cotton polos, or for a raised design on a Heavy Blend sweatshirt. Embroidered details create a premium feel that elevates any piece, giving it that high-end, professional edge.
3. The Digital Revolution: Direct-to-Garment (DTG)
If your design has tons of colors or intricate details, DTG printing is a game-changer. It’s like using a high-tech inkjet printer for fabric—ideal for smaller runs or photographic-level detail. Gildan Softstyle tees, with their softer weave, are perfect canvases for this method.

Transfer print
4. Flex Your Creativity with Heat Transfers (DTF)
Need flexibility and speed? Heat transfers are your best bet. Whether you’re customizing for a limited run or adding textured elements like glitter, flock, or metallic prints, vinyl transfers provide fast, customizable solutions. Gildan’s fabrics easily accommodate this versatile technique, making it great for smaller batches or unique designs.
5. The Ultimate Personal Touch: Private Labeling
Want to make that Gildan piece yours? Swap out the standard Gildan tag for a custom neck label that showcases your brand’s unique logo and narrative. It’s the ultimate flex and a sign of a higher-quality product. At Apliiq, we specialize in custom label design and sewing, turning your Gildan basics into true brand assets.
