Embroidered polo shirts are structured knit shirts decorated with a company or brand logo stitched directly into the fabric using commercial embroidery equipment. Businesses use them for professional staff uniforms, corporate programs, hospitality teams, real estate and medical office staff, and any client-facing role where appearance matters. At Wholesale Caps and Embroidery, we have decorated embroidered polo shirts in-house from our Houston facility since 1979 — every order includes free artwork digitizing, a free digital proof, and no setup fees on qualifying orders.
WCE is a full-service decorator with in-house embroidery equipment and a polo catalog that covers every price point and use case. We carry Nike Dri-FIT polos, CornerStone snag-proof polos for trades and field staff, TravisMathew performance polos for golf programs, OGIO Caliber polos, Mercer+Mettle stretch jersey polos, and Port Authority moisture-wicking options — all available with custom embroidery of your logo, produced in our Houston facility.
Embroidery is the professional standard for branded polo shirts. The raised thread of a well-executed embroidered logo on a clean polo communicates quality before anyone reads your name — and it holds up through machine washes, outdoor conditions, and daily wear in ways printed logos simply cannot. Whether you're building a uniform program for 12 people or 1,200, every order at WCE gets the same in-house digitizing and free digital proof before we decorate a single garment.
The process is simple: choose your polo style below, submit your logo (vector file or high-res PNG), and we'll digitize it for embroidery at no extra charge, send a digital proof for your approval, then go to production. Standard turnaround is 7–10 business days after proof approval. Rush available. Free ground shipping on most orders. 12-piece minimum per style.
Browse by category: men's polo shirts, women's polo shirts, Nike Dri-FIT polos, or custom t-shirts. All polo styles are available for flat embroidery, DTF printing, or screen printing.
Polo Styles and Brands
Our embroiderable polo catalog spans budget-friendly basics to premium corporate styles. Nike Dri-FIT polos are popular for golf programs and corporate gifting. CornerStone snag-proof polos are the choice for construction, utilities, and field service companies. TravisMathew heather performance polos serve upscale corporate and hospitality programs. OGIO Caliber and Mercer+Mettle stretch jersey polos cover the mid-range office and corporate market.

Decoration Methods
We offer three decoration methods on polo shirts. Flat embroidery is the standard for professional branded polos — your logo stitched directly into the fabric with up to 15 thread colors for a durable, premium finish. DTF (Direct to Film) is available for logos with gradients, photographs, or complex color artwork that embroidery cannot replicate. Screen printing is available for bold spot-color designs on larger quantities. All decoration is done in-house at our Houston facility — no outsourcing, no middlemen.
Popular Uses
Custom embroidered polo shirts are used by businesses across every industry: restaurants and hospitality groups outfitting front-of-house staff, construction and trades companies running uniform programs, real estate and property management teams, healthcare and medical practice staff, corporate teams ordering client gifts, golf tournament sponsors, and any business where a polished client-facing appearance is required.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are embroidered polo shirts?
Embroidered polo shirts are professional knit polo-style shirts with a company or brand logo stitched directly into the fabric using commercial embroidery equipment. At Wholesale Caps and Embroidery, we produce custom embroidered polo shirts in-house at our Houston facility, with flat embroidery, DTF printing, and screen printing available across 54+ polo styles. All orders include free artwork digitizing and a free digital proof before decoration begins.
What is the minimum order for embroidered polo shirts?
We require a 12-piece minimum per style on custom embroidered polo shirts. You can mix colors and sizes within a style to meet the minimum. There are no setup fees or digitizing fees on qualifying orders.
What polo brands do you carry?
We carry Nike Dri-FIT, CornerStone, TravisMathew, OGIO, Mercer+Mettle, Port Authority, and Devon & Jones polo styles. Each brand serves different program types and price points — from budget large-order uniforms to premium corporate and golf programs. Call 713-923-5555 to discuss which style fits your order.
Do you keep my artwork on file for reorders?
Yes. Once your logo is digitized for embroidery, we keep the file on record for all future orders. Reorders ship within the same standard 7–10 business day production window — no re-digitizing or additional setup fees required.
Can I order multiple polo styles with the same logo?
Yes. The same digitized artwork can be applied across any style in our catalog — men's polos, women's polos, Nike Dri-FIT, and more. This is common for businesses building multi-style uniform programs. Each style requires its own 12-piece minimum.
Do you offer volume pricing on embroidered polo shirts?
Yes. Pricing tiers apply at higher quantities — larger orders get a better per-unit price on both the polo and the decoration. Contact us for a custom quote on orders of 50+ pieces.
Why choose embroidery over printing on polo shirts?
Embroidery holds up through repeated machine washing, outdoor wear, and daily use in ways printed logos cannot. For staff uniforms and corporate programs, embroidery is the professional standard — it carries a premium look and tactile quality that printing can't replicate. DTF printing is available when your logo has gradients or complex color artwork that embroidery can't cleanly reproduce.
How long does embroidered polo shirt production take?
Standard turnaround is 7–10 business days after you approve your digital proof. Rush turnaround is available on most polo styles. Free ground shipping on qualifying orders within the contiguous US.
