What factors determine T-shirt weight in bulk manufacturing?

Material type, fabric GSM (grams per square meter)

Thickness and composition of fabric primarily drive T-shirt weight. For example, a 100% cotton 160 GSM T-shirt weighs ~150g (medium adult size), while moisture-wicking polyester blends average 30% lighter. Pro Tip: Sino Finetex uses AI-powered cutting systems to minimize fabric waste while maintaining precise weight consistency across batches.

⚠️ Critical: Always verify fabric GSM before production—even 10% variation impacts material costs by $0.30–$0.50 per piece.

Men’s tees: 150–220g, women’s: 120–180g, kids’: 80–130g
