03 Polos & Woven
Performance Polo
A lightweight polyester piqué for outdoor staff and course kit. Method options are narrower than the cotton polo, and the studio will tell you which ones drop out.
| Quantity | Band | Garment, each |

| 1 – 11 | List | $27.00 |
| 12 – 23 | 8% off | $24.84 |
| 24 – 47 | 14% off | $23.22 |
| 48 – 99 | 21% off | $21.33 |
| 100 + | 29% off | $19.17 |
Printing is charged on top of the garment and depends on the method, how many positions you print, and how many colours are in the artwork. The studio quotes the two together, calculated on our server. How the bands work.

Colour names describe the garment as dyed. Screen rendering of a colour name is not a colour match, and printed ink on that garment is a separate approximation again. How we handle colour
What limits this body
- Polyester. Direct-to-garment is not available on this body.
- Sublimation is available on White and Silver only.
- Embroidery on 160 gsm polyester needs cut-away backing, which we add automatically.
Where it can be printed
- Left chest4 x 4 in / 10.2 x 10.2 cm
- Back yoke10 x 3 in / 25.4 x 7.6 cm
- Sleeve3.5 x 3.5 in / 8.9 x 8.9 cm
Dashed edge is the printable boundary. The inner line is the safety margin, and artwork that crosses it risks landing on a seam or a hem. Placement tolerance on press is plus or minus 3 mm.
| Position | Maximum, inches | Maximum, centimetres |
|---|---|---|
| Left chest | 4 x 4 | 10.2 x 10.2 |
| Back yoke | 10 x 3 | 25.4 x 7.6 |
| Sleeve | 3.5 x 3.5 | 8.9 x 8.9 |
Method limits apply on top of these. Embroidery, for example, works to a 4 by 4 inch field regardless of how large the garment position is. The studio applies whichever limit is smaller and tells you which one it used.

Polyester has no cotton fibre for the pigment to bond to. The print would sit on the surface and lift within a few washes.
