Embroidered polo shirts, your specification
Made to your tech pack, fabric and colours by a factory matched to the order.
Private label
Your main label, care label, hangtag and polybag. Nominated trims accepted.
An embroidered polo is bought for its logo: a company mark on staff uniforms, a club crest on members' shirts, a school badge or a hotel name. Pique is a textured, open knit, so a dense logo can pull it out of shape or sink into its surface. Corporate buyers, clubs, schools and promotional suppliers order it, and the approval sample is where the logo is judged. An embroidered polo shirt manufacturer in Bangladesh prices the stitching separately from the shirt.
Garments Hub BD sends your logo file with the enquiry, so both quotes rest on the same stitch count. The embroidered PP sample then becomes the standard that bulk is checked against, and sample costs are quoted with the price and credited against the order on most runs.
Kinds of embroidered polo shirt
Left chest logo polo
The common corporate polo, with a logo usually 7 to 10 cm wide on the left chest. Choose it for staff and event uniforms; it keeps stitch count, cost and distortion of the pique low.
Sleeve and back yoke embroidery
A second, smaller mark on the sleeve, or text across the back yoke such as a department name. Choose it to add a sponsor or slogan; each position means a separate hooping on the machine.
Name personalised polo
Each wearer's name stitched under the company logo. Choose it for front of house staff, coaches and instructors; it needs a name list by size and adds a check on every shirt.
Embroidered badge polo
The logo is embroidered on a separate patch that is then sewn onto the polo. Choose it for large or very detailed crests that would pull the pique if stitched straight onto it.
What to send an embroidered polo shirt manufacturer in Bangladesh
- Logo file
- Vector artwork plus the width it should stitch at. The factory digitises it into a stitch file; ask to see a stitch out before the sample is made.
- Stitch count
- If you already have a digitised file, give its stitch count in thousands. If not, the factory's digitiser estimates it, and the embroidery price follows that figure.
- Size on pique
- Keep a chest logo within about 10 cm wide and avoid lettering under about 5 mm high, which closes up in the pique texture.
- Thread colours
- Match each colour to the factory's thread card rather than a screen, and give your brand colour reference as a guide for the nearest thread.
- Backing and topping
- Cut away backing on pique, which stays in and supports the stitches, and a water soluble topping that keeps them from sinking into the texture.
- Placement
- Distance from the shoulder seam and from the placket edge, with a tolerance, usually 0.5 to 1 cm.
Tests and certificates for embroidered polo shirts
- ISO 105-C06
- A red or navy thread on a white polo can bleed into the pique around the logo, so ask for the wash staining grade on the thread colours used.
- ISO 5077
- Following ISO 6330 washing procedures. If the pique shrinks and the logo does not, the logo puckers, so wash a finished polo and measure around it.
- OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100
- Covers every part of the finished polo, thread and backing included. Ask that the embroidered garment falls under the certificate, not only the fabric.
What moves the price of an embroidered polo shirt
- Stitch count: embroidery is priced per thousand stitches, so a dense crest costs more than its size suggests.
- Positions: each extra logo position is another hooping and another machine run.
- Thread colours: more colours mean more thread changes on every head.
- Digitising: a one time charge per logo and size, which repeat orders do not pay again.
- Personalisation: individual names add a file and a check for every shirt.
Lead time for embroidered polo shirts
Embroidery adds days before bulk: the logo is digitised, stitched out on the real pique and approved on the sample. An embroidered polo samples in 7 to 14 days, and its bulk runs 30 to 60 days after the PP sample is signed, with logos stitched on cut panels or on finished shirts depending on the factory. A late logo change means a new file and a new approval, and the quote confirms the dates.
What we check on embroidered polo shirts before shipment
- Logo positionLogo placement is measured from the shoulder seam and the placket on sampled shirts, against the tolerance in the spec.
- Pique pullThe knit around the logo is checked for puckering, rippling or pulled loops, on the face and on the reverse.
- Backing and topping finishBacking is trimmed neatly inside the shirt and the topping fully removed, so nothing scratches or shows.
- Thread matchThread colours are compared colour by colour with the approved sample and thread card under one light.
Questions buyers ask about embroidered polo shirts
How large can a chest logo be on a pique polo?
Around 7 to 10 cm wide is usual on the left chest. Larger logos are possible, but stitch count, stiffness and the risk of pulling the pique all rise with size; for a large crest, an embroidered badge sewn on is the safer route.
Who digitises our logo for embroidery?
The factory's digitiser, working from your vector file, unless you supply your own stitch file. Ask for a stitch out on the polo fabric before the sample, and keep the approved file for repeat orders so the logo stitches the same next time.
Can each staff member's name be embroidered?
Yes. Send a list with each name exactly as it should read and the shirt size. Names are stitched one by one under the logo, which adds cost and a check per shirt, so the list should be final before bulk starts.
Can the thread match our brand colour exactly?
Close, rarely exact. Thread comes in fixed colours on a card, so the factory picks the nearest match to your brand colour reference. Approve it on the stitched sample in daylight, not on a screen, and keep the approved thread numbers on file so repeat orders match.
