Next Level Tank Tops: A Complete Custom Apparel Buying Guide

Next Level Apparel built its name on soft ringspun cotton and triblend fabric that feels worn-in from the first wear, which is exactly why the brand shows up constantly in tank top searches. If you are researching Next Level tank tops for a shop, a team order, or a small brand, here is what the brand offers, what Bear Grips Pro Shops prints today, and how single-piece custom printing changes the math compared to bulk blank ordering.

Why Next Level Tank Tops Show Up in Every Search

Next Level built its reputation on two things: fabric feel and fit range. The brand runs ringspun cotton, cotton/poly blends, and a triblend (cotton, polyester, rayon) that drapes softer than standard cotton. Tank styles span racerback cuts, muscle tanks, and festival-style crops, which is why searches split across so many specific style names.

• Fabric feel. Triblend tanks are noticeably softer out of the bag than standard cotton.
• Fit range. Racerback cuts sit close through the body without being restrictive for training or daily wear.
• Print performance. Ringspun and triblend fabric holds a clean, sharp print instead of the fuzzy texture cheaper cotton can show.

Which Next Level Tank Styles You Can Print Through Bear Grips Pro Shops

Style	Fabric	Free base	VIP base
Ladies Racerback Tank	Cotton blend	$23.93	$19.88
Women's Premium Triblend Racerback Tank	Triblend (cotton/poly/rayon)	$31.93	$25.88

Both styles print with your design in unlimited colors and placements, packed and shipped free to the end customer. If you need a men's cut or a festival-crop style outside these two, the full Bear Grips catalog runs 63 products across other brands, including tanks from Bella+Canvas and AS Colour that cover those gaps.

Racerback Cotton vs Triblend: Which Next Level Tank to Stock

Both Next Level tanks in the Bear Grips catalog use a racerback cut, so the decision comes down to fabric and price point.

• Ladies Racerback Tank. Cotton blend, lower base price, a solid everyday tank for gyms, teams, and events selling on a tighter margin.
• Triblend Racerback Tank. Softer hand feel, heather colors look richer, sits about $6 higher in base price, the pick for brands leaning premium.

Full breakdown of both fabrics is in the tank top fabric guide.

Why No Minimum Changes How You Stock Next Level Tanks

Traditional blank apparel buying means ordering a case of 24 or 48 tanks in mixed sizes and colors before a single one has sold. Bear Grips Pro Shops flips that: list the Next Level tank in your shop, a customer orders one in their size and color, and it prints and ships. No leftover inventory in sizes nobody bought, no upfront cash tied up in blanks.
