How is a polo built differently from a crew neck?
A polo carries a placket, a collar and buttons; a crew neck carries a ribbed neckband on the same body. That difference is not cosmetic at the production end. The placket is a separate cut piece that has to be interfaced and sewn straight, the collar is a shaped piece that has to hold its shape after washing, and the buttonholes are a second operation on top of the seams.
The practical consequence is that a polo is a heavier garment to make and slightly heavier to ship, and that a collar losing its shape is the first thing a retail customer notices. If you are choosing between the two for a team order, take the polo where a collar reads as part of the look, and the crew neck where the print is meant to carry the design.
Where can embroidery sit on a polo?
Polo shirts and crew necks are the two styles where embroidery is available. On a polo the natural positions are:
- Chest, left side - the standard position for a badge or mark, sitting inside the placket line.
- Collar and collar tips - a small mark on the collar reads clearly on a polo and does not exist on a crew neck at all.
- Sleeve - a small mark on the sleeve edge, usually paired with a chest mark rather than replacing it.
Badges and embroidered marks are quoted per piece from your artwork, on top of the base garment price. Send the artwork file to +86 181 7757 2115 and the mark is quoted together with the garment. Name and number printing is the other route: heat transfer, $2 per piece, up to 20 characters plus a number.
What does a polo cost per piece?
A polo is a short-sleeve style, so it sits on the short-sleeve ladder: $10 per piece at 10-49 pieces, $9 at 50-99, and $8 at 100 and above. The tier is set by the total volume on the order rather than by each line separately, so a mixed order of polos and crew necks reaches a lower tier faster than either style would on its own.
On top of the base: name and number printing at +$2 per piece, and any badge or embroidered mark quoted per piece from the artwork. Freight stays separate and is quoted by weight and destination. Blank stock produces in 7-10 days, and 10-15 days where printing or embroidery is involved.
How does the MOQ work on a polo order?
MOQ is 10 pieces per design - per design, not per size and not per team. A 10-piece polo order can be split across XS to 4XL however your size curve runs. Sample orders start from 1 piece, which for a polo is worth doing: the collar is the part of the garment that photographs best and inspects worst, and one piece in your hands settles it.
How do you place a polo order?
Send the team or club, the quantity, the size split and the decoration you want - chest mark, collar mark, name and number, or none at all. What comes back is a Proforma Invoice with the unit price, the decoration priced separately, freight on its own line and the total, and it holds for 14 days.
Production runs 7-10 days for blank stock and 10-15 days where printing or embroidery is involved, then DHL door-to-door in 5-12 days depending on destination with the tracking number within 24 hours of pickup. Payment is T/T bank transfer, PayPal, Western Union or USDT on TRC20 or ERC20, larger orders at a 30% deposit with the balance against the tracking number. Send the polo list to +86 181 7757 2115 and ask for a single piece of the style you are considering if you want to check the collar before committing to volume.
