Print Method
Embroidery is the #1 choice for polo shirts. Polo fabric holds stitching exceptionally well — especially left chest logos. Screen Print and DTF work well for larger areas or full-color designs.

Embroidery Production Timeline
Digitization
1–2 daysArtwork converted to stitch file
Our team converts your artwork into a machine-readable stitch file. Complex logos or fine detail may require slight simplification to maintain clarity at thread scale.
Proof Approval
1 dayYou review & approve the digital proof
A digital stitch preview is sent to you for approval. This is your chance to confirm thread colors, size, and placement before a single stitch hits the garment.
Stitching & Fulfillment
5–9 daysProduction, QC, and shipping
Your order runs through embroidery production, goes through a quality check, and ships directly to you. Each piece is inspected before packing.
Timeline begins after artwork is received. Rush options may be available — mention your deadline in the order notes and we'll do our best to accommodate.
