Why polo shirts work for your team
A polo shirt looks smart without looking formal. It is the shirt to wear when you meet customers, at their door, in their office or on your shop floor.
Your branding goes on the front, usually on the left chest. Embroidery gives the premium finish on a polo, and vinyl works where you prefer it.
- Choose from 16 colours, from black and navy to sky blue and sunflower
- Classic fit, with 4XL and 5XL in black, heather grey, navy and white
- Front branding, usually on the left chest
- Embroidery for the premium finish, vinyl where preferred
Where your logo can go on a polo shirt
These are the usual positions. Your proof shows exactly where your logo sits and how big it is before anything is made.
Left chest
The classic polo position. An embroidered logo here looks smart and lasts.
Right chest
Good for a second logo, a name or an accreditation.
Back
Your company name or phone number across the shoulders, usually in vinyl.
Sleeve
A small logo or website on the arm.

Embroidery or vinyl on your polo shirts
Embroidery gives the premium finish on a polo shirt. Vinyl works well where you prefer it.
Embroidery
- Best for
- Polo shirts, heavier T-shirts, hoodies and sweatshirts, caps and some jackets. Branding on the chest, the sleeve or the front of a cap. A back design is possible but can feel stiff.
- Finish
- Your branding is stitched into the garment in thread. It sits raised and has a textured finish.
- Durability
- Stands up to heavy use and washing. Avoid a hot tumble dry, which can shrink the garment around the stitching.
- Artwork we need
- Send a PDF, JPEG, CorelDraw or vector file. You can supply your own artwork, or we can create it for you. Digitising your logo for stitching is a one time setup, and we match the thread to the closest standard colour.
Vinyl print
- Best for
- T-shirts, hi-vis, large back prints and bold text. Also waterproof shells, where stitching is not suitable.
- Finish
- Cut from coloured vinyl and heat pressed at around 165°C. It lies flat with sharp edges and solid colour.
- Durability
- Wash it inside out, never iron over the print and go easy on fabric conditioner.
- Artwork we need
- The same as embroidery. Send a PDF, JPEG, CorelDraw or vector file. You can supply your own artwork, or we can create it for you.

Questions about polo shirts
What artwork do you need?
Send a PDF, JPEG, CorelDraw or vector file of your logo. You can supply your own artwork, or we can create it for you.
For embroidery we digitise your logo into a stitch file. That is a one time setup per logo, and you can ask us for your digitised file after your order.
Is there a minimum order?
Your first order needs a minimum of 5 garments. Each new design takes time to prepare, from your artwork to setting up the embroidery or print, so single garments aren't practical for a first order.
Once we have your artwork on file, replacement garments and small top ups can be fewer than 5.
How long does an order take?
Orders take 5 to 10 working days, counted from the day you sign off your artwork and subject to stock.
