Polo Shirts with Logo: Embroidery Prices and Costs 2026
How much do polo shirts with an embroidered logo cost: embroidery from EUR 3.80 to 5.50/pc, digitising EUR 25, total with the shirt roughly from EUR 13 excl. VAT.
Polo shirts with a logo are made up of two cost components: the shirt itself plus the embroidery. Embroidery up to 10,000 stitches is roughly EUR 5.50 per piece, from 20 pieces EUR 4.50, from 50 pieces EUR 4.20, plus a one-off logo digitising fee of EUR 25.00 (all prices excl. VAT). A polo shirt from our catalogue typically starts at around EUR 8–12 depending on the model and material, so a finished shirt with an embroidered logo at quantities of 20–50 pieces usually costs approximately EUR 13–20 per unit.
What makes up the price
The embroidery price is determined by the number of stitches, not the physical size of the logo. A standard chest logo (5–7 cm wide, text plus a simple mark) is usually 4,000–8,000 stitches, which falls within the base rate of up to 10,000 stitches. More complex logos with filled areas or small text can exceed this threshold — in that case, we calculate roughly EUR 0.30–0.45/pc for every additional 1,000 stitches.
The second cost component is digitising — converting the logo into an embroidery file with a stitch sequence and density. This is a one-off fee of EUR 25.00, and it's not charged again on future orders using the same logo. Unlike screen printing, the number of thread colours doesn't drive up the embroidery price as sharply: 3–4 colours in one logo is standard practice with no extra charge.

Embroidery prices are indicative, excl. VAT, and apply to one position (e.g. left chest). A second position — sleeve, back of collar, or back — is calculated separately at the same rate. Shirt prices are indicative: we confirm the exact amount once the specific model, colour and size breakdown are set.
Which polo shirt models are chosen most often
From our catalogue, the best-suited fabrics for embroidery are denser pique fabrics from 180 g/m².
- Star 200 g/m² men's and women's polo (cotton) — 238 colours for men, 204 for women; the widest colour range for corporate tones.
- Calgary 200 g/m² men's polo — 121 colours; there's also a women's model at 200 g/m² (104 colours) and a long-sleeve men's version at 180 g/m² (58 colours).
- Pegaso Premium 220 g/m² men's polo (cotton) — 105 colours, denser fabric; a good choice when the logo is larger and the stitch count approaches 10,000.
- Helios 180 g/m² men's polo — 62 colours, a lighter everyday option.
- Austral 180 g/m² unisex polo (cotton) — 48 colours, convenient when you don't need to split men's and women's sizes.
- Monzha 150 g/m² sports polo (polyester) — 72 colours for men, 60 for women; breathable, suited to sports clubs, but thinner, so the logo under the backing should be planned more compact.
- Estrella 220 g/m² long-sleeve polo (cotton) — 78 colours for men and 66 for women; a choice for the autumn and winter season.
- Clyde unisex rugby-style polo sweatshirt made from organic cotton (56 colours) — a thicker option if you need one garment for the whole season.
Embroidery or printing: which to choose
On pique fabric, embroidery holds up better than printing and looks more corporate, so it's the standard solution for company uniforms. DTF transfer (EUR 6.00/pc up to A4, EUR 5.00 from 20 pcs, EUR 4.20 from 50 pcs) is more cost-effective if the logo is multicoloured and photographic, or if it needs to be large on the back. Screen printing (EUR 3.50/pc for 1 colour, EUR 1.90 from 100 pcs, setup EUR 35.00) only pays off from a hundred pieces and for simple single-tone logos.
| Technology | Cost-effective from | Price/pc at 50 pcs | Suited to |
|---|---|---|---|
| Embroidery | 1 pc | EUR 4.20 | chest logo, uniforms |
| DTF | 1 pc | EUR 4.20 | colourful and large designs |
| Screen printing | 100 pcs | EUR 2.50 | large runs, 1–2 colours |

Files and deadlines
Please send your logo in vector format (.ai, .eps or .pdf). If you only have a raster image, we can prepare it for you — this is quoted separately. For embroidery, a simple but clear outline is enough: text smaller than 4 mm in height won't read well on pique fabric, so we sometimes recommend simplifying the logo slightly.
The standard turnaround for polo shirts with an embroidered logo is 5–10 business days from artwork and shirt colour approval. Digitising and a test embroidery take 1–2 business days, and we send a test sample before the full run on request. Urgent orders can be completed by agreement, provided the required model and sizes are in stock.
Frequently asked questions
How much do 20 polo shirts with an embroidered logo cost?
Embroidery for 20 pieces is EUR 4.50/pc (EUR 90), plus digitising EUR 25, plus the shirts themselves from roughly EUR 8/pc (from EUR 160). Total approximately EUR 275 excl. VAT, or about EUR 13.75 per shirt; the exact amount depends on the model and the logo's stitch count.
Can I order just one polo shirt with a logo?
Yes. For a single shirt, embroidery is approximately EUR 5.50 plus digitising EUR 25.00, so at small quantities the setup cost is proportionally higher. If we've already digitised your logo before, on repeat orders you only pay for the shirt and the embroidery.
Do I have to pay for digitising every time?
No. EUR 25.00 is a one-off fee for a specific logo at a specific size. We don't include it again on future orders as long as the logo and size stay the same.
How large a logo can be embroidered on a polo shirt?
On the chest, usually 5–9 cm wide, which fits within 10,000 stitches. Larger designs (for example, on the back) are embroidered based on a separate calculation — from around 20,000 stitches, DTF transfer is often more cost-effective.
What are the widest colour options available?
The Star 200 g/m² men's polo is available in 238 colours and the women's model in 204 colours, while the Calgary 200 g/m² comes in 121 colours. This allows for an almost exact match to your company's brand colour.
