AS Colour 5074 Staple Minus Tee [-2"] — Blank Shorter Body T-Shirt for Screen Printing, DTG & Modern Fit Decorated Apparel Programs Wholesale

The AS Colour Staple Minus Tee 5074 is a mid-weight 5.3 oz 100% combed cotton blank built for decorators, modern-fit apparel brands, and wholesale buyers who need a clean, shorter-body tee with a contemporary silhouette — the combination that makes the 5074 the preferred blank for modern-fit decorated apparel programs, streetwear collections where a cropped or shorter hem is the target aesthetic, and retail-ready branded merchandise targeting consumers who prefer a shorter, more fitted hem that sits above the hip. The AS Colour 5074 Staple Minus Tee blank wholesale is cut 2 inches shorter than the standard AS Colour Staple Tee 5001, while maintaining the same construction quality: neck ribbing, side seaming, shoulder-to-shoulder tape, double needle hems, and a pre-shrunk finish. Available in Black, Bone, Coal, Ecru, Navy, and White in sizes XS through 3XL, the 5074 is the go-to shorter-body blank for decorators and brands building modern-fit collections, streetwear programs, and premium private label apparel where a shorter hem length is a key fit and style consideration.

Screen printers, DTG shops, and embroidery decorators sourcing blank shorter-body tees for modern-fit and streetwear programs wholesale will find the AS Colour 5074's 5.3 oz combed cotton construction delivers the same premium hand feel, print surface quality, and construction integrity as the standard Staple Tee — with the 2-inch shorter body that makes the 5074 the right blank for consumers who prefer a modern, slightly cropped silhouette, streetwear collections where hem length is a deliberate style choice, and brands where a shorter hem differentiates the product from standard blank tees. The pre-shrunk construction means the garment arrives at its final dimensions, so the -2" length specification is maintained through the customer's first wash and beyond. The side-seamed construction provides a clean, tailored silhouette that reinforces the modern-fit positioning of the 5074 within the AS Colour lineup. Compare with the AS Colour Staple Plus Tee 5075 for a longer-body option, or the AS Colour Classic Minus Tee 5079 for a heavier 6.5 oz shorter-body alternative.

The -2" Length Advantage — Why the 5074 Is the Right Blank for Modern-Fit & Streetwear Programs

The AS Colour 5074's defining feature is its 2-inch shorter body compared to the standard AS Colour Staple Tee 5001. This shorter length creates the modern, slightly cropped silhouette that drives sales in streetwear, lifestyle, and fashion-forward branded merchandise channels. The 5074's shorter hem sits above the hip on most consumers, creating a cleaner, more contemporary look that resonates with end consumers in streetwear and lifestyle apparel programs where hem length is a deliberate style choice rather than an afterthought.

Decorators sourcing the AS Colour 5074 shorter-body blank tee wholesale for streetwear collections, modern-fit branded merchandise, and fashion-forward private label programs will find the 6-color palette covers the core neutrals and fashion-forward tones that anchor any decorated apparel program. Black and White anchor high-volume screen print and DTG programs, while Bone, Ecru, Coal, and Navy deliver the fashion-forward color dimension that differentiates modern streetwear collections from standard blank tee programs. The XS through 3XL size range makes the 5074 accessible across a wide range of consumer body types, while the shorter body length ensures the modern-fit silhouette is maintained across all sizes. For programs requiring a wider color range at standard body length, the AS Colour Staple Tee 5001 offers the full AS Colour color palette.

Decoration Strategy — Screen Printing, DTG & Embroidery on the 5074

The AS Colour 5074's 5.3 oz combed cotton construction and side-seamed silhouette provide an excellent decoration surface for screen printing, DTG, and embroidery programs. The shorter body length concentrates the usable print real estate in the chest and upper body area, making the 5074 a strong choice for programs where chest-focused graphic designs are the primary decoration approach.

• Screen Printing: 5.3 oz combed cotton provides smooth, consistent print surface; shorter body focuses print real estate on chest and upper body; plastisol and water-based inks both viable; pre-shrunk construction maintains print registration through washing
• DTG: Combed cotton surface provides excellent ink absorption and color vibrancy; side-seamed construction provides flat, consistent print surface; ideal for full-color graphic tee programs targeting streetwear and lifestyle consumers
• Embroidery: Side seaming and neck ribbing provide stable base for chest and sleeve embroidery; 5.3 oz weight provides good structural support for embroidery without excessive puckering
• Heat Transfer: Pre-shrunk cotton surface provides consistent adhesion; shorter body focuses heat transfer graphic placement in the chest and upper body zone
