Custom embroidered polos are the standard uniform for businesses that deal with customers: contractors, clinics, restaurants, golf events, sales teams and front desks. A stitched logo looks professional, survives hundreds of washes and won’t crack or peel like a print can.

This guide covers what polos cost, which styles hold up in the Florida heat, where to put your logo and how ordering works. It’s written by the team at Deerfield Custom Prints, where we run 25 embroidery heads in house in Deerfield Beach, FL.
How Much Do Custom Embroidered Polos Cost?
That’s what most of our business customers pay. Where your order lands depends on four things:
- The polo you pick. A basic cotton blend costs less than a premium name-brand performance polo.
- Quantity. The more polos you order, the lower the price per shirt.
- Logo size and detail. Embroidery is priced by stitch count. A standard left-chest logo is covered; a large back design costs more.
- Extra locations. A sleeve logo or back-neck text adds a second embroidery location.
Digitizing your logo is a one-time setup. After that it’s saved, so reorders are faster and simpler. Send your logo and quantity for an exact quote →
The Best Polos for Embroidery
Not every polo takes embroidery well. Thin, stretchy fabrics pucker around the logo. These are the four styles our customers reorder most, and they all stitch clean. Women’s and youth cuts are available in each.
RacerMesh Performance
Sport-Tek ST640
The most breathable polo we stitch. 100% polyester, wicks sweat. Outdoor crews, trades, golf events.
Dry Zone UV Micro-Mesh
Port Authority K110
The all-round uniform pick. Lightweight with UV protection. Marine, valet, offices, service staff.
PosiCharge Competitor
Sport-Tek ST550
Soft performance polyester that holds its color wash after wash. Teams, gyms, event staff.
DryBlend Jersey
Gildan 8800
The budget choice with a cotton feel. Poly/cotton blend. Restaurants, schools, volunteer teams.

Logo Placement and Size
Where you put the logo matters as much as the logo itself. These are the placements that work on polos:
Left chest
The standard. About 3 to 4 inches wide. This is what most business polos use.
Right chest
Good for a second logo, a certification or an employee name opposite the main logo.
Sleeve
About 2 to 3 inches. Great for a website, a small icon or a sponsor.
Back yoke
The wide, short spot below the collar. Fits a company name or website.
Design tips for clean embroidery
- Keep text at least 0.25 inches tall. Smaller lettering fills in and gets hard to read.
- Simple, bold logos stitch better than gradients or fine detail.
- Send a vector file (AI, EPS, PDF or SVG) if you have one. A clear PNG or JPG works too.
- Pick thread colors that contrast with the shirt. A navy logo on a navy polo disappears.

Embroidery vs. Printing on Polos
For polos, embroidery is almost always the better choice:
Looks more professional
Stitching has texture and depth that reads as “uniform” rather than “t-shirt.”
Lasts longer
Thread doesn’t crack, peel or fade the way ink can after repeated washing.
Works on performance fabric
Printing on polyester polos can cause dye migration, where the shirt color bleeds into the ink.
If your logo has photo-like color or very fine detail, ask about DTF transfers. For tees and hoodies, see our screen printing services.

Custom Embroidered Polo FAQs
What is the minimum order for embroidered polos?
24 pieces. You can mix sizes within the order.
How long does it take?
7 to 10 business days after you approve the proof. Rush turnaround is available depending on our production schedule.
Can I supply my own polos?
Yes. We embroider customer-supplied garments too. See our contract embroidery page.
Do you work with promo distributors and resellers?
Yes. A big part of our work is contract embroidery for print shops, promo product distributors and resellers who need a reliable production partner.
Will the embroidery hold up in the wash?
Yes. Wash inside out in cold water and skip high-heat drying, and the logo will outlast the shirt.
Can you add employee names?
Yes. Names, titles or locations can be stitched under or opposite the logo on the same run.
