Think Tanks: 5 Custom-Ready Summer Tanks That Actually Get Worn
Light Layers That Work as Hard as You Do
Let’s talk tanks. The sun’s out in Southern Utah, and so are the events. Between St. George summer fests, small biz promos in Cedar City, and team uniforms for your rec league heroes, you need comfortable gear, clean-fitting, and made to print.
We gathered five tank tops suitable for screen printing. These aren’t sandpaper giveaways; they are garments people keep and wear often.
That’s the kind of advertising that works without eating your budget.
1. Bella+Canvas 3480 Unisex Jersey Tank
Soft. Smooth. Built for ink.
With over 30 color options, the Bella+Canvas 3480 is one of the most reliable tanks we print on. Lightweight jersey cotton makes it ideal for hot summer days in St. George and outdoor events in Cedar City. The unisex cut works for almost anyone, and the fit doesn’t twist or shrink weirdly after a wash.
Perfect for: Gym promotions, festivals, brand merch
Fabric: 100% Airlume combed and ring-spun cotton
2. Next Level 5013 Women’s Festival Muscle Tank
Sleeveless but stylish.
This tank hits a sweet spot between comfort and cool. It’s relaxed without being baggy, has raw edges for that trendy, easy-going vibe, and is perfect for that mom-on-the-move or casual retail launch. It's super popular with St. George boutiques and Cedar City’s local health coaches.
Great for: Boutique brands, wellness studios, food truck staff
Fabric: 65/35 polyester/combed ring-spun cotton
3. Shaka Wear SHTANK Tank Top
Oversized. Heavyweight. Streetwear approved.
This one’s for streetwear brands that want something with weight. It’s boxy, beefy, and oversized in the best way. This tank handles thick ink coverage like a champ, making it an excellent fit for bold logos, graffiti-style branding, or significant type.
Best for: Urban brands, high-contrast graphics, art-forward drops
Fabric: 100% US-grown cotton, 7.5 oz
4. Bella+Canvas 6682 Women’s Racerback Crop Tank
Small cut, significant impact.
Want your logo in the wild at every farmers market and music event this summer? This cropped racerback makes that happen. It’s OG status among festival vendors and local makers, and it prints clean across the chest without awkward stretching.
Favorite for: Booth merch, fitness brands, artisan sellers
Fabric: 52/48 Airlume cotton/poly blend
5. Bella+Canvas 1081 Women’s Micro Ribbed Tank
Ribbed and stretchy. No squeeze.
Ribbed but not tight. Fitted but still breathable. This tank makes custom printing for women much easier. It works great for casual logo placement, name drops, or minimalist designs. It’s the go-to for businesses that want something polished without sacrificing comfort.
Ideal for: Cafés, team gear, influencer giveaways
Fabric: 52/48 Airlume combed cotton/polyester
Why Better Tanks Matter for Screen Printing
Spending a few dollars more per shirt usually means a softer, longer-lasting garment. And if people wear your branded tank more than once, your cost-per-impression just dropped.
When we print on these tanks at Pulse Merch, the final result isn’t just crisp—it lasts. There is no cracking, no peeling—just premium screen printing that shows off your brand the way it was meant to be seen.
