Questions about Custom Uniform Polos?
FAQ
Everything you need to know about uniform fabrics, decoration, and delivery.
Which uniform polo is the best budget pick?
The Port & Company Core Blend Jersey Knit Pocket Polo is our most popular budget-uniform workhorse — a 50/50 poly-cotton jersey with a chest pocket, a soft hand, and strong durability through industrial laundering. For a premium step-up, the Port Authority classic pique offers the textured waffle-knit pique that reads more polished for corporate-office uniforms.
Will uniform-polo embroidery hold up through repeat industrial washing?
Yes. All four polos in this archive are tested for industrial-laundering durability. Our raised-thread embroidery is built with a thread weight and stitch density designed to hold through hundreds of hot-wash cycles without fraying.
What's the largest embroidery size on a uniform-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 I decorate a pocket polo if the pocket is in the way?
Yes — we place branding on the chest opposite the pocket so the pocket stays fully functional. Our pocket polos are decorated on the side opposite the pocket.
Is there a minimum order for custom uniform 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 uniform polos for a staff rollout?
Standard production is 10-14 business days after proof approval. For tight onboarding or new-hire-class deadlines, rush production is available — share your rollout date so we can prioritize.
