AS Colour Youth Classic L/S Tee | 3063

Description

The AS Colour 3063 Youth Classic Long Sleeve is the kids’ version of the blank that decorators actually want to work with. At 220GSM combed cotton, it sits in the sweet spot between substantial enough to hold its shape and soft enough that kids will actually wear it. The fabric weight means screen prints lay flat without show-through, and the combed cotton construction accepts ink with the kind of consistency that makes running a 200-piece youth program manageable.

Who Orders It

Elementary and middle school spirit wear programs that need something parents won’t complain about washing fifty times. Summer camps and outdoor education programs where durability matters as much as comfort. Children’s apparel brands building out size runs that match their adult styles. Youth sports organizations running team gear beyond just jerseys. Church youth groups and nonprofit programs that want quality basics without premium pricing. Dance studios and performing arts programs needing consistent blanks for recital merchandise.

Decoration

The 220GSM weight handles screen printing exceptionally well — no ink bleed, clean edges, and the combed cotton surface means colors pop without excessive saturation. DTG prints hold detail cleanly on this fabric weight. Embroidery works best with proper backing given the youth sizing — we recommend staying under 8,000 stitches on smaller sizes to avoid puckering. The long sleeves give you placement options: left chest, full front, or sleeve hits all work well on this cut.

Common Questions

What decoration method works best on youth long sleeves?
Screen printing is the most popular choice for youth programs — it’s durable through heavy washing and cost-effective at volume. DTG works well for smaller runs or designs with lots of colors. Embroidery is solid for left chest logos but keep stitch counts moderate on smaller sizes.

Is this good for school spirit wear programs?
Yes — this is one of our most-ordered blanks for K-8 programs. The 220GSM weight survives the washing machine, the combed cotton feels good enough that kids actually wear it, and the preshrunk construction means the sizing stays consistent order to order.

How does the sizing run?
AS Colour youth sizing runs true to standard US children’s sizes. The regular fit gives room without being boxy. If you’re ordering for a mixed-age group, we can help you build a size curve based on typical distributions.

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