If you're starting your clothing brand? One of the first (and most important) things you’ll need to lock down is where to get quality blanks. As a screenprint shop, we've personally used all the wholesale suppliers listed below. You'll need shirts, hoodies, and garments that are made to be customized with your designs, especially screenprinting, embroidery, DTG, or DTF. Whether you're going for that clean streetwear look, cozy basics, or bold graphic tees, the right blank makes all the difference.
Here are some of the top wholesale suppliers that clothing brands—big and small—could use to bring their ideas to life:
1. S&S Activewear
Website: www.ssactivewear.com
This is our most often used supplier for blanks, and a constant recommendation for our customers, They offer a wide range of wholesale blanks from top brands like Bella+Canvas, Shakawear, Next Level, Independent Trading Co., and Comfort Colors. S&S ships fast and has fulfillment centers across the U.S., which makes turnaround times solid for growing brands.
2. AS Colour
Website: www.ascolour.com
Honestly, one of the most underrated blanks we use, great for streetwear, or premium basics with modern fits, AS Colour is perfect for brands that want streetwear tees, hoodies, and hats. The quality is consistent, and the minimalist styles work great for screen printing or embroidery.
3. Made Blanks
Website: www.madeblanks.com
Based in L.A., Made Blanks offers heavyweight, fashion-forward pieces like boxy hoodies and thick tees. Ideal for brands going for a streetwear or elevated cut-and-sew vibe.
4. AlphaBroder

One of the largest blank distributors in North America. It’s ideal if you’re also looking for accessories or more corporate-style apparel (like polos and outerwear). They carry brands like Champion, Threadfast, and Alternative Apparel.
5. SanMar

SanMar is a trusted supplier for more traditional apparel but they’ve been expanding into trendier streetwear basics too. Great for hats, bags, and performance fabrics too. They carry Port & Company, District, and Nike blanks.
