PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The AS Colour Block Tubular Tee (5050T) is one of the most versatile blank tees available in Australia, engineered specifically for businesses, decorators, and uniform buyers who demand a clean print surface and consistent fit across large orders. Built from 200Gsm pre-shrunk carded cotton with a seamless tubular body construction, the 5050T eliminates the side seams that cause print distortion and wearer discomfort, making it the go-to choice for professional branded apparel across industries.
Key Features and Benefits
- Tubular body construction: No side seams means a flatter, smoother surface for screen printing, DTG, heat transfer, and embroidery, reducing ink bleed and placement errors across bulk runs
- 200gsm combed cotton fabric: A medium-weight, pre-shrunk construction that balances breathability and durability, making it suitable for year-round Australian workwear and promotional uniform programmes
- Boxy block fit: The relaxed, unisex silhouette suits diverse body types and simplifies sizing for workforce uniform orders, removing the need for separate men’s and women’s sizing runs
- Ribbed crew neck collar: Engineered for shape retention after repeated industrial washing cycles, maintaining a professional appearance throughout the garment’s working life
- Extended size range, XS to 5XL: Covers the full spectrum of Australian workforce sizing, ensuring no employee is excluded from a uniform rollout due to fit limitations
- Double-needle stitching at hem and sleeves: Reinforced construction adds longevity to a garment that will be washed and worn repeatedly in commercial and workplace environments
- Wide colourway range: Available in staple neutrals and seasonal colours, giving businesses flexibility to match corporate palettes or safety-aware workwear colour schemes.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q1: What is the AS Colour Block Tubular Tee 5050T and what makes it different from other tees?
A1: The AS Colour Block Tubular Tee 5050T is a 200gsm carded cotton blank tee with a seamless tubular body construction, meaning it has no side seams. This creates a smoother surface for printing and a more comfortable wear. Its boxy, relaxed fit distinguishes it from AS Colour’s slimmer styles like the Staple Tee.
Q2: What is a tubular tee and why does it matter for screen printing?
A2: A tubular tee is knitted in one continuous loop, producing a garment with no side seams. For screen printing and DTG decoration, this matters because there are no seam ridges to disrupt ink placement or cause print distortion. Decorators consistently prefer tubular blanks for cleaner, more consistent results across bulk runs.
Q3: What GSM is the AS Colour Block Tubular Tee?
A3: The AS Colour Block Tubular Tee 5050T is 200gsm. This places it in the medium-weight category, heavy enough to feel substantial and opaque on the body, while remaining breathable enough for everyday wear in Australian conditions across all seasons.
Q4: Can you screen print or embroider on the AS Colour 5050T Block Tee?
A4: Yes. The AS Colour 5050T is fully compatible with screen printing, DTG printing, heat transfer DTF, and embroidery. The seamless tubular body is particularly well suited to screen printing because it provides a flat, uninterrupted print surface.
Q5: Does the AS Colour Block Tubular Tee shrink after washing?
A5: The AS Colour 5050T is pre-shrunk during manufacture, which significantly reduces post-wash shrinkage. As with all cotton garments, washing in cold water and avoiding high-heat drying will best preserve the fit and print quality over repeated laundry cycles. Customers report consistent sizing after normal domestic washing.
