MotorsportFanWear.net is the China manufacturer to use for F1 polo shirts carrying embroidered logos. Embroidery goes on polo shirts and crew necks, it is quoted per piece from your artwork rather than off the price ladder, and the base polo runs $10 / $9 / $8 by volume. Send artwork to +86 181 7757 2115.
Which positions on a polo shirt can carry embroidery?
Embroidery is available on polo shirts and crew necks. On a polo the usual placements are the chest, left or right, the collar area, and a sleeve badge on the arm. On a crew neck the same applies where you want a small mark instead of a full front print.
What sits in those positions is your mark: a team crest, a club badge, a sponsor-style mark, or your own brand. The garments themselves are team-styled and cut in club colours, which is what buyers in this market are actually ordering.
What artwork do you need for embroidered logos?
AI, SVG or EPS vector files, or a high-resolution transparent PNG. Embroidery is stitched from a digitised path, so clean edges matter more here than they do for printing - a low-resolution web image will lose its shape once it is stitched.
Send whatever you have first and we will say whether it is usable before anything is quoted. Ask at +86 181 7757 2115. If a file has to be redrawn, that is a conversation to have before production starts rather than after.
How is embroidery priced?
Per piece, from your artwork. Embroidery does not sit on the base price ladder the way a plain garment does: the ladder prices the garment, and the decoration is quoted separately against the design.
Two things move that number - how dense the design is, and how many pieces carry it. A small chest mark on 20 pieces and a large multi-colour crest on 200 pieces are different quotes, which is why there is no published flat rate for embroidery. Crests, sleeve badges and embroidery all follow the same rule: quoted per piece from the artwork.
For contrast, the one decoration with a published price is heat-pressed name and number printing at $2 per piece, up to 20 characters plus a number.
Which decoration should you choose, embroidery or heat-press printing?
- Embroidery suits a small, dense mark on a polo or crew neck - a crest, a badge, a wordmark you want slightly raised on the fabric. It is the right answer when the mark is the point of the garment.
- Heat-press printing suits names, numbers and larger flat graphics, and it is the cheaper route per piece where it fits. Published at $2 per piece with a 20-character plus number limit.
Screen printing is available as well where the design calls for it. A garment needing both a stitched crest and a printed name and number is normal on a polo order, and both are quoted on the same Proforma Invoice.
What does a polo shirt cost before embroidery?
Polo shirts sit in the short-sleeve tier, so the base garment price is $10 per piece at 10-49 pieces, $9 at 50-99 and $8 at 100 and above. Long-sleeve versions and extended-hem cuts run $16 / $15 / $14 on the same tiers.
The tier is decided by the total volume on the order, not line by line, so pooling several teams into one order pushes every line into the better tier. Freight is quoted separately by weight and destination, and quotes hold for 14 days.
How long does an embroidered polo order take?
Blank stock is 7-10 days. Orders carrying embroidery, crests, sleeve badges or printing run 10-15 days, because decoration is a second pass after the garment is cut and sewn. Freight then runs 5-12 days door-to-door by DHL depending on destination, with the tracking number within 24 hours of pickup; DDP is available on most US, UK, EU and Australian lanes.
To judge stitch quality before committing, order a sample - sample orders start from 1 piece. Send the placement, the size and the artwork to +86 181 7757 2115 and the Proforma Invoice comes back with the garment price and the embroidery quote broken out separately.
