ACBuy T-Shirts Guide
What to check, what to avoid, and how to make sense of the t-shirts section in the ACBuy spreadsheet before browsing listings.
T-shirts are the entry point for most ACBuy spreadsheet users. They are affordable, ship efficiently, and offer a quick way to test a factory before committing to larger purchases. In 2026, the market has split into two lanes: ultra-heavyweight box tees (240gsm+) that hold their silhouette, and vintage-wash lightweight styles that prioritize drape and breathability. This hub explains how to interpret the spreadsheet columns for each lane, what print types to expect, and which details separate a reliable entry from a risky one.
