AS Colour Kids Staple Tee | 3005

Description

The AS Colour Kids Staple Tee is the youth version of the blank that adult programs already trust. Same 180GSM combed cotton construction, same print-ready surface, scaled down for kids sizes 2–12. This is the tee that survives playground use, weekly washing, and the general chaos of being worn by children — while still holding a clean printed design through all of it.

Who Orders It

Elementary and middle schools building spirit wear programs. Summer camps and day programs running staff and camper uniforms. Youth sports leagues — soccer clubs, little league, swim teams — that need consistent sizing across age groups. Children’s apparel brands testing designs before scaling. Nonprofits and churches running VBS or youth group programs. Family reunion organizers who need matching tees that actually fit the kids.

Decoration

The combed cotton surface accepts screen printing with sharp edge definition and solid ink lay-down. DTG prints cleanly with minimal pretreatment bleed on the natural fiber base. For embroidery, the 180GSM weight handles small left-chest logos well — keep stitch counts under 8,000 for youth sizes to avoid distortion on smaller frames. The preshrunk fabric means your print placement stays where you put it after washing.

Common Questions

What decoration method works best on youth tees?
Screen printing is the most durable option for kids’ apparel — it handles repeated washing better than other methods. DTG works well for smaller runs or complex full-color designs. Keep embroidery designs compact on youth sizes.

Is this good for school spirit wear programs?
Yes. The consistent sizing across production runs means reorders match previous batches. The 180GSM weight is substantial enough to feel like quality without being too heavy for warm weather wear.

How does the sizing run?
True to standard youth sizing. Size 2 fits most 2-year-olds, size 12 fits most 12-year-olds. The regular fit works across different body types without running tight or oversized.

What’s the minimum order for custom decoration?
We work with programs from 12 pieces. Most decorated apparel programs start at 24–50 pieces. Request a quote and we’ll work with your specific order size.
