Our Best-Selling T-Shirt Brands for Screen Printing in 2025

In 2025, Sunnybank Print House screen printed a wide variety of artwork, ranging from mountain biking events to retirement parties. As a screen printing studio that prints exclusively with eco-conscious waterbased inks, printing on cotton fabric is always the ideal choice. This is because the ink absorbs into the natural fibres, creating a soft-hand feel on the shirt that customers love.

After reviewing our most popular screen printed t-shirts from last year, our top-selling brands were Comfort Colors, Bella Canvas, and M&O.

Comfort Colors: Our Top T-Shirt for Screen Printing

Our best-selling t-shirt in 2025 was the Unisex Comfort Colors Garment-Dyed Heavyweight Tee. These tees have a retro vibe with their signature faded look and are especially popular for custom screen printing projects.

Comfort Colors offers a wide range of nature-inspired colours and is made from 100% ringspun cotton that is grown and harvested in the US. Their garment-dyeing process uses three times less water and 40% less energy, making these tees a sustainable choice for eco-friendly screen printing.

These trendy t-shirts feature a relaxed fit with a lived-in feel, making them a consistent customer favourite. Our top-selling colour in 2025 was Ivory, a light-coloured tee that works perfectly for darker screen printed designs. Other popular colours included Berry, Seafoam, and Espresso. Comfort Colors is also available in long sleeve styles, boxy women’s t-shirts, and youth sizing.

Bella Canvas: A Long-Time Customer Favourite

Our runner-up top-selling t-shirt brand for screen printing in 2025 was Bella Canvas, which has been one of our most popular options for many years and remains a fan favourite.

Bella Canvas t-shirts come in two main styles: 100% Airlume combed and ringspun cotton, or the CVC heathered tee, which is a go-to choice for many customers. These tees are known for being super-soft, high quality, and offer a more tailored fit, making them excellent for screen printing.

Bella Canvas is also sustainably made using a hybrid manufacturing model and WRAP-certified ethical labour practices. In 2025, our most popular Bella Canvas colours were Olive and Deep Heathered Grey. These t-shirts are available in long sleeve, women’s slim-fit, youth, and toddler sizes.

Budget-Friendly Without Compromising Quality

Other top picks for screen printed t-shirts included the M&O Gold Soft-Touch and Gildan Softstyle tees. These brands are more budget-friendly and are a great option for large events, promotions, or bulk orders.

Both styles provide a smooth surface that works well for screen printing and offer a wide range of colour options. The M&O Gold Soft-Touch tee has a slightly heavier fabric, while the Gildan Softstyle is softer and lighter due to its ringspun cotton construction. Our most popular colours for these economical t-shirt options were black, natural, and dark heather grey.
