Print method comparison for polos
| Method | Min. quantity | Durability | Cost/pc 25 pcs (net) | Cost/pc 100 pcs (net) | Cost/pc 500 pcs (net) | Suitable for polos | Not suitable for |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Embroidery | 1 pc | 100+ washes | €7.71 | €4.83 | €3.61 | premium polos (Lux, Pro Heavy, Performer) with chest logo | photo motifs |
| Flex print | 1 pc | 40 washes | on request | on request | on request | mass-market polos (DryBlend, ID.001), names, jersey numbers | photo motifs |
| DTF print | 1 pc | 50+ washes | €3.15 | €2.06 | €1.47 | multi-colour designs on mass-market polos | piqué with fine surface (embroidery better) |

| DTG | 1 pc | 30–50 washes | €3.15 | €2.06 | €1.47 | NOT recommended on polo piqué | polo piqué, polyester blends |
All costs net, plus VAT, per piece and position, excluding the polo. Embroidery: chest logo 7 × 7 cm (49 cm², tier up to 50 cm²), plus digitising €38.50 net on every order. DTF and DTG both run as digital printing with us (same prices, motif up to 15 × 10 cm, no set-up). Screen printing starts at 50 pieces: values for 1 colour on a white polo, plus set-up €20 per screen (net); on coloured polos a white underbase is added as an extra screen, which also counts as one more colour in the unit price.
Recommendation: polos are almost always embroidered — the piqué structure is visually better suited for embroidery than for print.

Polo cuts explained — Regular, Slim, Tailored, Performance
Regular fit (classic). The standard fit — relaxed at the waist, classic shoulder seam position. Examples: Stedman Lux Polo Men (ST3000), B&C ID.001, FOTL 63-402-0. Fits most men with a normal build.
Tailored (women's cut). Tighter fit at waist and hips, slightly shorter hem, narrower sleeves. Examples: Stedman Lux Polo Women (ST3600), B&C ID.001 Women, FOTL Ladies' Premium Polo. Important: women's-cut polo looks noticeably more valuable than the unisex variant on crews with mixed gender.
Slim fit (modern). Tighter torso, narrower sleeves, shorter hem on men's models. Examples: Stanley/Stella Performer (STPU331), Mantis Heavy Polo. Popular at fashion labels and IT consultancies with modern style.
Performance polo (athletic). Stretch (3–5 % elastane or 100 % polyester with H2X-DRY technology), tighter fit for athletic look, moisture management. Examples: StormTech PG-1, Tee Jays Performance, Russell 506M Pure Organic. Popular at tech conferences and service crews with sweat load.
Heavyweight piqué (workwear). Higher fabric weight 220–230 g/m², rugged piqué structure, often with reinforced shoulder seams. Popular in trades, hospitality, logistics.
Polo care guide
Wash temperature. Premium polos (Lux Polo, Performer, performance polo): 30–40 °C. Workwear polos with industrial-wash demand (B&C Pro Heavy, B&C Pro): 60 °C.
Stretch collar before drying. Piqué polo collars can warp with incorrect drying. Hang immediately after washing and stretch the collar by hand.
Iron at medium setting. Piqué material tolerates ironing up to approx. 150 °C. For embroidered logos: never iron directly on the embroidery — iron from the inside or use a pressing cloth.
Do not directly tumble embroidery. Embroidery can wear out under intensive tumble drying. Recommended: air-dry or light tumble mode.
Do not iron before first wash. On first use, wash first, then iron — the piqué structure "settles" through the first wash cycle.
