Embroidered Polo Shirts are one of the top sorts of promotional
clothing available. They come in a massive range of colours and
styles. Fruit of the Loom are one of the biggest producers of
embroidered polo shirts and offer them in many different fabric
combinations.These include cotton, polyester and mixes of both
fabrics. They are used in many different areas including sport and
the industrial workplace. Whereas printed Polo shirts were designed
for the game of Polo it is much more closely aligned with the sport
of golf nowadays.Millions of pounds is paid out in sponsorship fees
for people to wear embroidered polo shirts these days. If a golfer
is good enough he will get many offers to carry a brand or logo on
his printed polo shirt.At one time only the left breast was used to
locate the advertising but not any longer. Companies use all parts
of the polo shirts including the sleeves and back.One recent
addition is to have collar embroidered, this is very clever as it
means the logo is visible at all times especially when on TV for
close up interviews.
Embroidered shirts certainly keep their logos longer if they are
embroidered rather than screen printed. If the workplace is hot
then it is always better to select 100% cotton embroidered polo
shirts as they are much more comfortable to wear and if the wearer
sweats it is soaked up by the cotton. Whereas if the environment is
a tough hard wearing one then a mix of Polo/cotton is a better
choice as this fabric has more enduring qualities.These sort of
embroidered polo shirts make great promotional clothing because
they really do last for a long time. One company that can advise
you well on which polo shirt to choose is
BTC

be mindful that in hot places such as restaurants theseembroidered
polo shirts make the wearers sweat and be uncomfortable to wear.
Buying your embroidered polo shirts at the correct manufacturers is
very important in terms of protecting your brand. By purchasing
your promotional polo shirts from a manufacturer who uses prison or
child labour your expose your company to a great risk. Purchasing
embroidered polo shirts from a member of the Ethical Trading
initiative ensures that the company does not use illegal labour in
the manufacturing of its products.
China has a low labour rate and a high labour pool so can offer low
prices on all their promotional polo shirts. But they are only one
company that offer these particular promotional products.Another
good place to buy this sort of promotional clothing is Pakistan
because they grow their own cotton. This means they have a ready
made supply of cheap materials. Bangladesh is another country that
offers low cost embroidered polo shirts. But you need to be careful
in that country as they are liable to floods and power losses very
often.Of all the know manufacturers labels for printed polo shirts
Ralph Lauren would be the most famous by far. They are seen as the
foremost name in embroidered polo shirts. Companies that scam and
copy other peoples brands are too many to count and polo shirts are
one of the most copied items on the planet.
