Heavy Faded Tee 5082

The AS Colour Heavy Faded Tee is the undisputed heavy-hitter for any merch drop printing NZ. If you’re searching for that "perfect boxy tee, " this is it. Clocking in at a substantial 240 GSM , this 100% carded cotton garment is designed for durability and a premium, high-street drape. Its garment-dyed finish offers a soft, vintage aesthetic that has made it the #1 choice for streetwear startup blanks looking to compete with international labels.

As your locally branded experts for T-shirt printing Rolleston , we recommend the 5082 for its incredible structural integrity. The heavyweight 16-singles fabric is the gold standard for large format screen printing and water-based screen printing tees , providing a dense surface that prevents "show-through" even with heavy ink deposits. It is also an elite foundation for 3D puff embroidery or small batch embroidery , as the thick cotton handles high-stitch counts without any pulling or puckering.

Whether you are launching a new collection of custom tees or need a rugged, stylish option for Canterbury custom apparel , the Heavy Faded Tee delivers. It’s warm enough to be a reliable layer on a frosty morning in the South Island but breathable enough for all-day wear. With dropped shoulders and a wide, twin-stitched neck rib, it bridges the gap between ethical blank clothing and high-fashion utility.
