Unisex EcoSmart® T-Shirt
You’ll love the balance of comfort and sustainability that comes with the Hanes 5170 EcoSmart® T‑shirt. Made from a 50/50 cotton‑poly blend, this preshrunk, tubular tee feels soft against your skin while staying true to its shape wash after wash. The fabric is sourced from a facility that runs on at least 50% renewable energy and follows Higg Index standards, so you can feel good about every shirt you order. With 26 vibrant colors and sizes from S to 5XL, you have plenty of options to match any brand palette. Our low minimums let you order just a few pieces, but if you choose screen printing, a 24‑piece minimum applies—perfect for bulk custom t‑shirts or small‑batch runs. The shirt’s smooth surface works great with screen printing, DTF (direct‑to‑film) and dye‑sublimation, giving you crisp, durable graphics that won’t fade. No visible logos or tags mean your design takes center stage. Ideal for local businesses, events, or nationwide shipping, this eco‑friendly tee delivers professional quality without compromising on style or budget.
Our guarantee: we stand behind our print quality — a printing or adhesion defect, we’ll remake it or refund you. We print exactly what you approve, so please check spelling and artwork on your proof before you sign off.
