Question 1

Is Port & Company PC54 Cotton tee unisex?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The cotton t-shirt is unisex and comes in sizes S to 5XL for many colors. In ShirtsBargain, we offer the PC54 Core Cotton t-shirt in 75 colors. You can also find the Youth size variant (PC54Y), Tall size variant (PC54T), Camo variant (PC54C) and a long sleeve variant (PC54LS) of the t-shirt in our store.

Question 2

How does the Port and Company PC54 compare to the Port and Company PC55 in terms of fabric and feel?

Accepted Answer

Port & Company PC54 Core Cotton t-shirt, as the name suggests, is a 5.4 oz. 100% cotton t-shirt except for the Ash and Heather colors which are cotton-poly blends. The Port & Company PC55 Core Blend tee is made of a cotton-polyester blend with 50% cotton and 50% polyester. The cotton-poly t-shirt is sustainable as it uses 5% recycled polyester from plastic bottles in the blend. In terms of comfort and feel, both the PC54 and PC55 offer almost the same level of softness and comfort. You might notice a slight difference when wearing PC54 colors with 100% cotton composition. Those colors are slightly softer due to being full cotton.

Question 3

Which is better for screen printing: PC54 or Hanes 5250?

Accepted Answer

Hanes 5250. Although both t-shirts are essentially 100% cotton, the 5250 Hanes t-shirt is a little heavier than the Port & Company PC54. You need to take the construction quality and material quality into account. Though the material quality for both t-shirts is similar, Hanes is a brand known for their expertise and quality in construction. Considering the heavier weight, higher quality construction, and durability of the 5250, it’s simply the better option for screen printing. But the PC54 isn’t far behind either. The 100% cotton PC54 colors are available at lower per-unit prices and color choices than the Hanes 5250. So if you are screen printing large volumes, the PC54 is an overall better investment.

Question 4

Does the Port and Company PC54 really last as long as premium shirts?

Accepted Answer

No. Premium t-shirts demand more price per unit and in bulk due to the notable difference in construction quality, material quality, and print-friendly features. However, according to the feedback from our customers who regularly buy the PC54 t-shirt for printing projects, the durability and quality of the t-shirt are surprisingly praiseworthy considering its low price point. The PC54 is arguably the best among the cheapest yet good quality printable t-shirts currently in the wholesale market.

Question 5

What types of ink should be avoided while printing on the PC54 t-shirt?

Accepted Answer

The best practice is to avoid dye-based ink, as it may not bond well with the fabric, and solvent-based ink, which may make the print area stiff, subsequently damaging the print itself. Experts recommend fabric ink for printing on the Port & Company PC54. But we have had customers who successfully printed with other types of ink. We recommend testing on a sample piece before buying in bulk.

Question 6

Can Port & Company PC54 tee wick moisture?

Accepted Answer

No. The PC54, except for the Ash and Heather colors, is 100% cotton. This t-shirt does not wick moisture, unlike polyester performance t-shirts. For moisture-wicking t-shirts, we recommend exploring our Sport-Tek and Port Authority t-shirt collections.

Question 7

Is the PC54 available for private label or rebranding with our own labels?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The PC54 comes with a removable tag for relabeling.

Question 8

What are the key differences between Port & Company PC54 vs Gildan 5000 t-shirts?

Accepted Answer

Both t-shirts are in almost the same price range, have the same weight, offer a wide range of color options, and are 100% cotton except for a few colors. The actual difference is in the construction. The Gildan 5000 t-shirt has a ribbed collar, taped neck and shoulders, and seamless body and offers a classic fit that isn’t too tight or loose. The PC54 also offers a classic fit and great printability, but Gildan’s rugged durability and the comfortably heavy feel of their t-shirt make the difference notable when wearing it.

Question 9

What if the PC54 doesn’t fit right after it’s delivered?

Accepted Answer

ShirtsBargain offers a 30-day return policy. You can return the products to us in their original condition and undecorated for a refund. However, a restocking fee will be applied to cover our handling and administrative costs. We recommend checking the PC54 size chart before ordering to avoid sizing and fit issues. According to our customers, the t-shirt fits true to size.

Question 10

Does the PC54 cotton t-shirt shrink?

Accepted Answer

Like every cotton garment, the PC54 100% cotton options are prone to shrinkage over time. The color options that are cotton-polyester blends, however, are more resistant to shrinkage due to the polyester content. Follow the care instructions in the t-shirt’s care label to keep it in optimal shape and size longer.

Question 11

What is the fabric weight and composition of the PC54 tee?

Accepted Answer

It’s a 5.4-ounce tee made of 100% cotton, with exceptions by color: Athletic Heather is 90/10 cotton/poly, Ash is 98/2 cotton/poly, and the following are 50/50 cotton/poly: Neon Blue, Neon Green, Neon Orange, Neon Pink, Neon Yellow, Dark Heather Grey, Heather Athletic Maroon, Heather Purple, Heather Navy, Heather Red, Heather Royal, Heather Sangria, Heather Dark Chocolate Brown, and Graphite Heather.
