Questions about Custom Everyday Polos?
FAQ
Everything you need to know about fabrics, decoration, and delivery.
Which polo fabric works best for corporate events?
Cotton pique from Port Authority strikes the best balance of professional look, durability through industrial laundering, and price point for corporate volume orders. For premium conference swag or executive gifting, TravisMathew, Johnnie-O, and Peter Millar polos feel noticeably more elevated in the hand.
Can you decorate Nike Dri-FIT without damaging the moisture-wicking?
Yes. We use water-based transfers and precision embroidery tested on Nike Dri-FIT, Adidas AEROREADY, and OGIO performance knits to preserve 4-way stretch and moisture-wicking. Plastisol screen printing is NOT recommended on performance polos — it blocks the breathability.
What's the largest embroidery size on a polo chest?
We decorate in any position that works for your design — front, back, sleeves, yoke, and more. Every order includes a free creative proof confirming placement before production.
Can you do women's and men's polos in the same order?
Yes. Most of our brands (Port Authority, TravisMathew, Nike, Adidas) offer matching men's and women's cuts that we decorate identically. Your free creative proof confirms the matched look before production.
Is there a minimum order for custom polos?
1-piece minimum for embroidery and water-based transfers. Wholesale bulk discounts for screen printing begin at 12+ pieces.
How fast can I get custom polos for a conference or tournament?
Standard production is 10-14 business days after proof approval. For tight conference, trade-show, or golf-tournament deadlines, rush production is available — share your event date so we can prioritize.
