Promotional Embroidered Polo Shirts

Quality custom polo shirts pump up company awareness

 With the trend to a more casual workplace spreading from Fridays to nearly every day of the work week in many parts of the country, the importance of the polo shirt as a stock wardrobe item for both men and women has grown too. This presents a great opportunity for business owners to spread their corporate message. 

Not only do good quality embroidered polo shirts make fine corporate uniforms in almost every industry from restaurants to banking, they are also excellent client gifts and corporate giveaways that will carry your message far beyond your home base. The key is to select shirts in popular colors and quality fabrics and to design a logo that is colorful, sharp, crisp and at-a-glance legible. 

To create a custom polo shirt that everyone wants to wear, you should: 

    1.     Align with a top-notch promotions company.
    2.     Select popular (but not too trendy) colors.
    3.     Choose styles and fabrics that work with the seasons.
    4.     Make sure your logo art meets production requirements.
    5.     Go for a higher embroidery stitch-count to ensure durability.

Make your custom polo shirts a popular standout

If you want your shirts to be worn (and why wouldn’t you?) choose a fabric color that will get attention in a positive way, portray an image of professionalism, and hold up well after several launderings. Make sure that the color of your embroidered logo works well with the shirt color you select too.

Choose quality embroidered polo shirts

Because you want your custom polos to positively reflect your company’s image, aim for quality fabric and shirt construction whenever possible. Essentials to look for: a heavier weight, top-stitched seams and blended fabrics (for better color retention and easier care).

Know what your logo will look like on an embroidered polo shirt

The logo that works just fine on your letterhead and business cards will probably look different as an embroidered logo on your polo shirt, because embroidered logos are three-dimensional. Make sure you know in advance what your logo will look like, and whether adjustments to the artwork are necessary. Ask too about extra charges if your logo design requires more than a specified number of stitches.

• You might have to agree to some changes to the look of your two-dimensional logo for it to work as an embroidered logo.
• Letter sizes on an embroidered logo are determined by thread and needle thickness. Very small lettering will probably have to be made larger in order to successfully convert to an embroidered logo.
• An extremely complex logo requiring tens of thousands of stitches might be too heavy for the shirt fabric. Larger more complex embroidered logos take time too, adding to the overall cost.
