Garment photos are supplier stock images of the actual blank. Sport Grey and Graphite Heather run different blend ratios than the solids and decorate slightly differently - we account for it on your mockup.

Where it fits in our polo lineup: the 8800 is the value pick with a cotton hand; the K110 is the snag-resistant uniform workhorse; the ST640 and ST550 are the full-performance picks. Tell us who is wearing it and we will point you right.
This is the part most printers will not tell you before they take your money.
Over half cotton means it feels like a shirt, not a jersey – the pick for staff who find 100% poly polos clammy. DryBlend still pulls moisture off the skin.
The jersey knit takes a left-chest logo well with proper backing, which we digitize and run in-house. Screen printing works too for larger art.
This is the polo we quote when the order is fifty shirts for a restaurant or crew and the budget is real. It looks issued, embroiders sharp, and costs meaningfully less than performance polos.

24 pieces, with no setup fees. Mix colors and sizes inside that 24 with the same logo.
The 8800 is cotton-rich, so it feels softer and prices lower; the K110 is 100% poly, snag-resistant, UPF 30, and holds up better to industrial washing. Front-of-house comfort on a budget: 8800. Uniform program that gets hammered: K110.
Yes - DryBlend pulls moisture away from the skin. It is not as aggressive as a full performance polo, but for indoor staff and normal Florida days it does the job with a much more natural feel.
Either. Embroidery is the classic polo look and our usual recommendation; larger or multi-color art can screen print on the jersey face.
The near-50/50 blend keeps shrinkage low. Wash cold, dry low, and the welt collar holds its shape.
Sport Grey runs 90/10 cotton/poly and Graphite Heather 62/38 - different substrates than the solid colors, so ink and thread behave slightly differently. We account for it automatically.
Both. We are in Deerfield Beach and plenty of customers pick up, but we ship orders anywhere in the US.
24-piece minimum. No setup fees. Same-day pricing from a shop that runs this blank every week.
