The Blank Silhouettes Crafters Are Reaching For in January
The blank matters just as much as the design. In January, crafters are choosing silhouettes that feel wearable, easy to style, and consistent for reorders.
These are the blank shapes showing up most on presses right now.
Relaxed and Boxy Tees
Slightly oversized, unisex tees continue to outperform fitted styles. They work across audiences and hide minor placement imperfections.
Why it works: fewer sizing issues and broader appeal.
Midweight Hoodies
Not too heavy, not too thin. Midweight hoodies are preferred because they press more predictably and feel wearable across seasons.
Why it works: easier pressing and better year-round value.
Crewnecks Over Zip Styles
Pullovers are winning over zips in January because they offer a clean front surface and fewer pressing obstacles.
Why it works: flat pressing area and cleaner design presentation.
Totes and Flat Accessories
Flat blanks like totes are being used more for test presses and new designs. They allow easy placement and quick feedback without committing to apparel runs.
Why it works: low risk, high visibility.
January blanks are about consistency, not experimentation overload.
