Same-Day Polo Shirt Printing

Printed polo shirts, also called golfers in South Africa, give staff and teams a smarter branded look than a T-shirt. This page covers printed branding with DTF or vinyl on polo shirts for businesses, schools, clubs and corporate events.

Artwork requirements

  • Send your logo as vector (AI, EPS, SVG or PDF) or a 300 dpi transparent PNG at final size.
  • Small left-chest logos need simplified detail; text below about 6 pt may fill in on pique fabric.
  • Specify each position and size, for example left chest 90 mm wide and back 250 mm wide.
  • Supply separate artwork versions for light and dark shirts if your logo has dark elements.
  • Remove backgrounds and boxes unless they are part of the design.

Turnaround options

Standard turnaround is confirmed on your quote. Express moves your order ahead when you need shirts for an upcoming event. Same-day production may be possible for left-chest or simple back prints on polos we have in stock, with print-ready artwork, approval and payment before the configured cutoff, subject to capacity. Sourcing specific colours or ladies fits, multiple positions per shirt, larger quantities and logo redraws commonly move a job to express or standard. Production completion and delivery arrival are separate.

FAQs

Is printing or embroidery better on polos?
Embroidery gives a raised, traditional look, while printing handles fine detail, gradients and full colour more easily and is usually quicker for urgent orders. This service covers printed branding.
Will the print work on moisture-wicking polos?
Generally yes, but some performance fabrics are heat sensitive or treated with coatings. We test before pressing a full batch.
Where should the logo go?
Left chest is the standard position. Many businesses add a larger logo or website on the back yoke or full back for visibility at events.
Can I get mixed sizes in one order?
Yes. Send a size breakdown with your order. Same-day eligibility depends on every size being in stock.
