How do you make custom polo shirts look good?

Making custom polo shirts look good involves selecting high-quality materials, the right design, and expert customisation. Here’s how to ensure your custom polo shirts stand out: Choose High-Quality Polos – Start with a well-made polo shirt. At ADM, we offer premium options from trusted brands like Gildan, Russell, Fruit Of Loom and AWDis, ensuring the fabric is comfortable, durable, and perfect for personalisation. Pick the Right Fit and Style – Consider your audience and purpose—whether it’s for a team, school, or corporate event. Choose from different fits (regular, slim, or tailored) and collar styles (button-down or classic). This ensures the polo looks flattering and professional. Select the Right Colours – Choose colours that align with your brand or the event’s theme. Classic colours like black, white, navy, and grey are versatile and professional. If you want something bold, go for bright colours or custom combinations that reflect your style. Customisation – Personalisation is key to making custom polo shirts truly stand out. At ADM, we offer expert embroidery and printing options. Add your logo, branding, or sponsors with precision and care. Our step-by-step online guide will help you choose the placement and size of your custom design on the polo shirt (e.g., left chest, sleeve, back). Consistency and Balance – Keep your design balanced. A large logo might work on some, but for others, a small, subtle design is more effective. Make sure your text or logo isn’t too overwhelming, maintaining a professional and clean look. Choose the Right Printing or Embroidery Method – Embroidery gives a premium, professional look and works great for logos or small text. Screen Printing is ideal for larger, bold designs and vibrant colours. Ensure Comfort and Durability – A good custom polo should be comfortable to wear and built to last. At ADM, we use high-quality fabrics that will maintain their appearance and feel, even after multiple washes.

By following these steps, you’ll create polo shirts that look sharp, feel great, and leave a lasting impression. For more help on how to create the perfect polo shirt, visit our Lets Customise It page and explore our step-by-step guide for customising your polo shirts!

How do I choose the best polo shirts to personalise?

Choosing the best polo shirts to personalise depends on the quality, fit, and intended purpose of the shirt. Here’s a simple guide to help you select the right polo shirt for customisation:

Consider the Fabric: Pique Cotton: This is the most common fabric used for polo shirts. It’s breathable, comfortable, and has a textured finish that’s perfect for embroidery and printing. For a premium feel, go for double pique fabric, such as the Gildan Soft-Style Double Pique Shirt. Polyester or Blended Fabrics: These offer durability, moisture-wicking properties, and are often more wrinkle-resistant. Ideal for sports teams, corporate wear, or events. The Fruit of the Loom Polo Shirt offers a great blend for durability. Fit & Style – Standard Fit: Offers a relaxed and comfortable look, suitable for all body types. Slim Fit: For a more modern, tailored appearance that flatters slimmer builds. Ladies Fit. If you’re looking for something tailored to women, consider polos designed with a more feminine silhouette, like the Henbury Classic Pique Shirt. Brand & Quality – Opt for well-known brands that offer great value for money and high-quality fabric. Some of the best brands we recommend include: Gildan: Known for comfortable, affordable, and durable polos. Fruit of the Loom: Offers a variety of fabrics, including lightweight options and heavyweight polos for more structured wear. Henbury: Known for stylish, premium-quality polos that offer a professional look. Colour Selection – Choose a colour that aligns with your brand, event, or team. Classic shades like black, white, navy, and grey are versatile, while brighter colours or branded colour schemes can add personality to the design. With ADM, you can easily filter polo options by colour to suit your needs. Customisation Capability – Embroidery: If you’re looking for a polished, professional look, embroidery is the best option. It works well for logos, names, or small designs. Screen Printing – If you want larger or more vibrant designs, consider screen printing. This method is great for bold logos and graphic-heavy designs.  Purpose & Occasion – Workwear or Corporate: For a professional environment, look for polos that are durable and have a clean, classic style.  Sports Teams or Events: If you’re personalising for sports or promotional events, choose moisture-wicking, breathable options to keep participants cool and comfortable. Budget – While it’s tempting to go for the cheapest option, remember that durability and quality matter in the long run. At ADM, we offer a range of polos to suit every budget, ensuring you get the best quality at a price that fits your needs. Quick Filters – To help you narrow down your choices, use our quick filters on the website to select polos based on: Fabric, Brand, Colour, Fit (Standard, Slim, or Ladies Fit)

By considering these factors, you’ll easily find the perfect polo shirt to personalise for your team, event, or business. Once you’ve selected your polo, use our online customisation tool to add logos, names, and text to create a professional, unique look.
