Embroidered polo shirts: what they cost and which to choose
A polo shirt with your logo costs from CHF 3.60 per unit, with branding included. You will not need the same polo shirt for a short trade show as for reception or for a team that washes it every week. Here you can see today’s prices, the options that fit each case best with real products, and the points worth checking before you place your order for embroidered polo shirts.
How much does a custom polo shirt cost?
Price per unit with your logo in one colour in the model’s standard print area, excluding VAT and delivery. The unit price drops as quantities rise because the branding setup is spread across more garments.

For trade shows and large teams
When polo shirts are for a lot of people or for a trade show, you need to keep the cost per garment under control and make sure the fabric can take some wear. In the Essential range, basic cotton piqué work polo shirts and lightweight technical styles fit well, with a chest logo and the option of a readable back print for events.
The usual mistake is choosing the thinnest fabric to save money: after a little wear, the collar opens out and the polo stops being used. Also check the contrast of the thread or transfer; on navy or black, a dark logo gets lost.

Unisex Pulse polo shirt Screen Printing From CHF 5.65 with your logo For everyday team wear
For sales teams, retail or customer-facing staff, it is worth choosing a polo shirt that fits well and stands up to frequent washing. The Plus range often includes the most balanced branded polo shirts for weight and feel, with a small embroidered chest logo so the brand looks polished without feeling like a uniform.
If your team is mixed, check whether the style comes in a fitted version as well as a unisex or men’s cut: it avoids lots of size swaps later. And do not make the chest embroidery too large; when it becomes too heavy, it pulls on the fabric.

Unisex long-sleeve polo Prime 200 Screen Printing From CHF 8.40 with your logo For reception and a smarter look
When the polo shirt represents your brand in meetings, at reception or during visits, the collar, the feel and the drape are noticed straight away. The Premium range brings together more substantial piqué fabrics, stretch or recycled options and neater finishes, with a discreet logo that works well in visible settings.
If your logo includes gradients or very fine lines, do not assume embroidery will reproduce it exactly: it usually simplifies them. Ask to see the transfer option in the mock-up too, or match it with other custom corporate clothing to keep the same palette.

How each type of polo shirt is branded
| Type of polo shirt | Technique | How the logo looks |
|---|---|---|
| Cotton piqué | Embroidery | Raised finish with solid thread colours; the most common option for the chest |
| Technical polyester polo shirt | Digital transfer or cut vinyl | Handles gradients and fine lettering better than embroidery |
| Back branding for trade shows and events | Screen printing or screen transfer | Large and easy to read from a distance, without weighing down the fabric as much as large embroidery |
| Sleeve or small detail | Embroidery | Discreet and hard-wearing, useful as a second position |
