Port & Company LPC380 Ladies Performance Tee: Affordable Women's DTF Printing Guide

Every co-ed team order needs a women's option. The Port & Company LPC380 Ladies Performance Tee is the budget-friendly answer — same Dry Zone® moisture wicking and UPF 50 sun protection as the PC380, but in a women's contoured fit that doesn't look like a box with sleeves.

At around $3.50–$4.50 wholesale, the LPC380 costs about a dollar less per shirt than the Sport-Tek LST350 while delivering UPF sun protection that the LST350 doesn't have. If budget and sun protection matter more than PosiCharge color-lock, the LPC380 is your ladies-cut pick.

Why the LPC380 for Women's Performance Orders

Women's Contoured Fit at Budget Pricing

The LPC380 has a gently tapered silhouette designed for women's proportions — narrower through the chest and slightly shorter body length than the unisex PC380 at equivalent letter sizes. Women on the team actually want to wear this shirt, which means better perceived value for your customer.

UPF 50 Sun Protection

The LPC380 retains the UPF 50 rating from the PC380 family — blocking 98% of UV rays. This is a genuine differentiator over the Sport-Tek LST350 ladies tee, which doesn't specify a UPF rating. For outdoor events, charity runs, field days, and summer leagues, UPF 50 is an easy upsell when talking to event organizers.

Dry Zone® Moisture Wicking

Same Dry Zone® technology as the entire PC380 family. Pulls moisture away from the skin and helps it evaporate quickly.

15+ Colors

The LPC380 comes in 15+ colors:

Standard Colors: Athletic Maroon, Charcoal, Dark Green, Deep Navy, Gold, Grey Concrete, Jet Black, Red, Royal, Silver, White Neon/High-Visibility: Neon Blue, Neon Green, Neon Orange, Neon Pink, Neon Yellow

The neon selection is solid — all five neon options are available, which makes the LPC380 a strong choice for women's fun runs, color runs, and high-visibility events.

Sizes XS Through 4XL

Full inclusive sizing from XS to 4XL. This matches the LST350's range and ensures every woman on the team has an option.

Removable Tag

Clean, tag-free neck for comfort and easy relabeling.

LPC380 Size Chart: Complete Measurements

The LPC380 follows a women's contoured pattern — narrower and shorter than the unisex PC380 at the same letter size.

Ladies LPC380 Size Chart

Width measured across chest 1" below armhole, laid flat. Length from high point shoulder to bottom hem. Actual dimensions may vary ±1".

Ladies vs. Unisex Size Comparison

The LPC380 runs about 1–2 sizes smaller than the unisex PC380 at the same letter size. Women who wear a Medium in unisex may want a Large in the LPC380, depending on preferred fit.

Order form tip: When quoting co-ed teams, include both the PC380 (unisex) and LPC380 (ladies) on your order form with a note about the size difference. This prevents ordering confusion and reduces returns.

DTF Printing on the LPC380: Settings & Tips

Same 3.8 oz, 100% polyester as the rest of the PC380 family. Same DTF settings apply.

Recommended DTF Press Settings

### Ladies-Specific DTF Tips

1. Scale designs for the narrower body. A 12"-wide chest print designed for a unisex Large will run too close to the seams on a ladies Large (19½" width vs. 22" width). Scale women's prints to about 80% of unisex width as your starting point.

1. Shorter body = higher placement. The LPC380's shorter body length means designs placed at standard unisex measurements will sit lower relative to the shirt. Adjust up by about ½" to ¾". Check our Shirt Placement Guide.

1. Use a smaller pressing pillow for XS–M sizes. The narrower body can stretch on an oversized pillow, causing uneven adhesion.

1. No PosiCharge protection. The LPC380 does NOT have color-lock technology. Be cautious pressing on dark colors — Deep Navy, Red, Dark Green, and Athletic Maroon all carry dye migration risk. Keep temp at 270°F on darks and always test press.

1. Neon colors need extra care. All five neons are available but are highest risk for dye migration without PosiCharge. Test every neon color before production.

Choose the LPC380 when budget is the priority and for outdoor events where UPF 50 matters. Best results on white and light colors. Choose the LST350 when you need more color options, heather varieties, or you're pressing on dark/bright colors and want PosiCharge protection.
