Research notes & open questions
Heaviest and usually most expensive common blank; pigment colors fade by design; collar runs tight per multiple reviews.[5][15]
Printify per-unit prices unknown, so Printify margin/cost cannot be compared to Printful.
Printful print-file pixel dimensions/templates and DPI not captured, limiting exact art sizing on the Printful listing.
OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 is claimed at brand level; no style/color certificate number verified.
No public garment geometry / sewing pattern / graded tech pack; Beforewear geometry cannot be grounded from public data.
No GTINs or per-variant SKUs captured; distributor barcode data not opened (S&S/SanMar blocked).
Grade rules, MOQ and lead time are not publicly sourced.
Only Printful's 'Honduras' sourcing is stated; Gildan also produces in Nicaragua/Bangladesh, so origin varies by lot.
