03 Polos & Woven
Piqué Polo
A textured cotton piqué with a three-button placket. This is the body most corporate jobs end up on, and it is the one we most often recommend stitching rather than printing.

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
- Built for embroidery. The piqué structure holds a stitch better than a flat jersey.
- The placket blocks centre chest. Left chest and back yoke are the working positions.
- Piqué texture will show through a thin screen print. We recommend stitching on this body.
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.

Sublimation dye bonds to polyester at a molecular level. Cotton has no polyester in it, so the dye washes straight back out.
