Choosing the Best Polo Shirts for Embroidery

When selecting polo shirts for embroidery, quality is key. Here are some factors to consider:

Fabric Quality

The fabric of the polo shirt plays a crucial role in the final look of the embroidery. Look for high-quality materials like cotton or a cotton-polyester blend. These fabrics hold up well under the needle and maintain their shape over time.

Fit and Style

Polo shirts come in various fits and styles. Decide whether you want a more relaxed fit or a tailored look. Consider the collar style and sleeve length as well—these details can affect the overall appearance.

Color Options

Choose colors that complement your brand or event theme. At Bolt Printing, we offer a wide range of colors to ensure your design stands out.

The Process of Custom Embroidery

Creating custom embroidered polo shirts involves several key steps. Here's what you can expect when you work with us:

Design Consultation

We start with a design consultation to understand your vision. Whether you have a logo ready or need help creating one, our team is here to assist.

Digitization

Before embroidery, your design needs to be digitized. This process converts your logo into a format that the embroidery machines can read. It's a crucial step to ensure accuracy and detail.

Sample Approval

Once digitization is complete, we provide a sample for your approval. This gives you a chance to see the design in real life and make any necessary adjustments.

Production

After approval, we move to production. Our state-of-the-art machines ensure each polo shirt is embroidered with precision and care.

Caring for Your Embroidered Polo Shirts

To keep your custom polo shirts looking their best, follow these care tips:

Wash Inside Out: This protects the embroidery from excessive friction.
Use Cold Water: Cold water helps maintain the color and integrity of the fabric.
Avoid Bleach: Bleach can damage the fabric and embroidery.
Hang to Dry: If possible, hang your shirts to dry to prevent shrinkage and maintain shape.

Choosing the Right Custom Polo Shirt

#1 - Fabric Matters

The fabric impacts comfort and utility. Cotton is affordable and warm, while polyester offers moisture-wicking and performance features.

For indoor use: A 50/50 cotton/poly blend, like the Gildan 8800-E, balances comfort and performance at an affordable price.
For outdoor/athletic use: A 100% polyester option like the Adidas A230-E, with moisture-wicking and UPF 30 protection, is ideal but more expensive.

Choose based on your needs and budget!

#2 - Shirt fabric texture

Fabric texture matters for design, feel, and comfort.

Sport-Tek ST640-E (18 colors, custom print version) is 100% polyester with an athletic feel.
Jerzees 437MSR-E (14 colors) is a 50/50 blend with a t-shirt-like feel.

#3 - Pockets on custom polos?

Love them or hate them, shirt pockets can impact design placement. Embroider above the pocket to avoid sewing it shut. Check out the Port Authority K500P (8 colors available).
