Polo Shirts — Specifications
What we can build, what it costs you in time, and where the minimums actually sit. Everything below is our standard offer — custom specs outside these ranges are quoted case by case.
Fabric & GSM tiers
GSM is grams per square metre — the single number that decides how the garment feels in hand. Mill tolerance is roughly ±5%.
| Weight | Construction | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| 180–200 GSM | Cotton piqué | Classic corporate and retail polo — the default |
| 200–220 GSM | Single jersey / interlock | Softer, smoother hand for premium and fashion polos |
| 150–180 GSM | Performance polyester, moisture-wicking | Sports, golf, and outdoor workwear |
| 220–240 GSM | Heavy piqué | Uniform programs facing industrial laundering |
Customization options
All decoration is done in-house under the same AQL standard as the garment itself.
| Option | Detail | Minimum order |
|---|---|---|
| Screen printing | Plastisol, water-based, discharge, high-density | From 50 pcs — unit economics improve sharply above ~300/design |
| Puff print | Raised plastisol, single or multi-layer | From 50 pcs — screen setup per colour |
| DTG | Direct-to-garment, soft hand on 100% cotton | From 50 pcs — no setup, best for detailed artwork |
| DTF | Direct-to-film transfer, unlimited colours | From 50 pcs — no setup, works on blends |
| Sublimation | All-over print, polyester only | From 50 pcs — print becomes part of the fibre |
| Embroidery | Flat, 3D/puff, appliqué, woven patches | From 50 pcs — digitising included, file is yours |
| Custom woven labels | Neck, hem, and side labels; printed tagless necks | From 50 pcs — 10–14 days label lead time |
| Custom hang tags | Card, string, barcode/SKU, care and origin compliance | From 50 pcs |
| Garment dye & wash | Garment dye, acid wash, enzyme wash, stone wash | From 300 pcs per colour — dye-lot minimums apply |
| Custom packaging | Polybags, printed mailers, retail boxes, FBA-ready cartons | From 50 pcs |

Fit Guide
Same size label, very different silhouettes. All four blocks are available for this category, with custom grading to your market.
Regular
Classic straight cut with set-in sleeves — fits close without hugging. The default for corporate, uniforms, and traditional retail.
Slim
Tapered through the body and sleeves with higher armholes. Popular for fashion basics and performance styles.
Oversized
Dropped shoulders, wider body, longer sleeves. Cut generously on purpose — size down for a merely relaxed look.
Boxy
Shorter, wider body with a square silhouette and drop shoulders. The signature heavyweight-streetwear shape.

Polo Shirts — Frequently Asked Questions
What is the MOQ for custom polo shirts?
50 pieces per design, splittable across sizes and colours. Uniform programs usually run larger because they need full size runs, but the entry point is the same 50 pieces.
Is logo embroidery included in the polo price?
A standard left-chest embroidery is quoted as part of the garment price, not billed separately as a surprise. Digitising your logo is included and the file belongs to you. Additional placements, 3D/puff, or large back designs are quoted per placement.
Piqué or jersey for a corporate polo?
Piqué at 180–200 GSM is the default for corporate and uniform programs: the textured knit hides creasing and survives repeated laundering. Jersey at 200–220 GSM is smoother and reads more premium, which suits retail and hospitality front-of-house.
Will the colour match across repeat orders?
We hold your approved lab dip as the standard and match every repeat order against it, not against the previous bulk. For uniform programs that reorder annually, this is the difference between one uniform and a visibly two-tone team.
