Rabbit Skins Infant Baby Rib Tee | 3400

Description

The Rabbit Skins 3400 is the infant blank that decorators reach for when the job needs to be soft, printable, and parent-approved. The 100% cotton baby rib knit has a gentle stretch that moves with the baby without bunching, and the fabric weight sits in the sweet spot — substantial enough to hold screen print ink without bleed-through, light enough for all-day comfort against sensitive skin.

Who Orders It

Hospital gift shops and birth centers order these for newborn photo programs and keepsake tees. Daycares and early childhood programs use them for class shirts and graduation events. Baby apparel brands building their first product runs start here because the quality matches the price point. Gender reveal party planners, pregnancy announcement photographers, and family reunion organizers order them for one-time custom prints. Nonprofits running infant-focused fundraisers — NICU support groups, foster care organizations, children’s charities — use the 3400 as their go-to decorated blank.

Decoration

Screen printing is the primary method for infant apparel, and the baby rib knit on the 3400 accepts water-based and plastisol inks cleanly. The ribbed texture creates a subtle visual effect under solid prints — test your artwork if you need crisp fine lines. For embroidery, stick to simple small-scale designs on the chest; the fabric is lightweight and won’t support dense stitch counts without puckering. Heat transfer vinyl works well for name personalization and one-off custom pieces. Always use soft-hand inks or low-temperature transfers — infant skin is sensitive and parents notice.

Common Questions

What decoration method works best on infant tees?
Screen printing with water-based or soft-hand plastisol inks is the standard. These methods keep the print soft against baby skin while maintaining durability through repeated washing. Heat transfer vinyl is ideal for small-quantity personalization like names or birth dates.

Is this good for hospital newborn photo programs?
Yes — the lap shoulder design makes it easy to dress newborns without pulling fabric over their heads, and the soft cotton rib is gentle on sensitive skin. Hospitals and birth centers are among the most frequent buyers of this style.

How does the sizing run?
The 3400 runs true to standard infant sizing. The baby rib knit has natural stretch, so it accommodates normal variation within each size range. Order samples if you’re building a retail program and need exact fit verification.
