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.
Print Zone Guide — Performance Polo
Athletic cut tip: The contoured fit means placements sit closer to the body — embroidery is recommended over screen print for left-chest logos to preserve stretch and breathability.
Left Chest
Primary logo zone
The natural home for a team or brand logo on any polo. Sits cleanly beside the placket — perfect for embroidery or a tight DTF hit.
Right Chest
Name or number zone
Ideal for player names, employee names, or a secondary sponsor mark. Pairs naturally with the left chest logo.
back view
Team & SponsorFull Back
Back panel
Team name, sponsor logo, or roster number. The back panel of an athletic polo gives a bold team-kit look.
Left Sleeve
Short sleeve cuff area
A subtle accent on the short sleeve — great for a small secondary logo, year, or sponsor mark that adds layered branding.
Left + right chest combo is the most popular setup for sports teams — logo left, player name right. All selected zones roll into your quote.
