Low MOQ polo shirt manufacturer: 100 pieces per style

The polo is the small run most often ordered by businesses rather than fashion brands: a uniform for a café group, a golf club, a clinic, a delivery fleet. Those buyers need a hundred pieces that match each other and match the next order. From 100 pieces per style and colour, our named partner, Collective Studio Ltd. in Narayanganj, makes polos from your pattern with the collar, placket and logo you specify.

Made by our partner

Collective Studio Ltd.

Small runs on this page are cut and sewn by Collective Studio Ltd., a Narayanganj factory making small quantities since 2019, to support new businesses and creators. We manage your tech pack, sampling, quality checks and DDP delivery exactly as on our own orders, and we name the factory in writing before production. Both our founders work with Collective Studio Ltd.: Homaira Jashim is a co-founder and AB is Head of Growth; see our founders. The partner prices its runs separately.

Piqué or jersey

Piqué, the textured knit most people picture as a polo, holds its shape, hides wear and suits uniforms and golf; a 180–200 GSM piqué is the everyday weight, 220–240 GSM feels more substantial. Single jersey makes a softer, more fashion-led polo that drapes closer to the body. Cotton-polyester blends resist creasing and hold colour through industrial washing, which matters for a uniform laundered daily; 100% combed cotton feels best for leisure. The partner’s stock covers these in the usual uniform shades, and a first run uses them.

The collar, placket and buttons are the polo

A polo is a collar with a shirt attached, so the collar is specified precisely: flat-knit rib collar or self-fabric, its width and points, whether it has a contrast tipping. The placket takes two or three buttons on a stated placket length, with the button size, material and colour named, and a reinforced box at the base. Side vents, a longer back hem, a tipped cuff and a back-neck tape are the finishing choices.

  • Collar: flat-knit rib or self-fabric, width, tipping in a contrast colour
  • Placket: two or three buttons, length, reinforced base
  • Buttons: size, material, colour, and spare buttons on the swing tag if wanted
  • Cuffs: rib or hemmed, with or without tipping
  • Hem: straight or with side vents, and a longer back for tucking

Logos and names

Embroidery is the natural polo decoration: a left-chest logo in your thread colours, sewn out on the bulk piqué for approval because piqué needs a different density from jersey. Sleeve logos, a back-neck wordmark and individual names or numbers are all possible on a small run; each position is a separate hooping and is priced by stitch count, and each is approved before the run.

Reorders that match

For a uniform, the fifth order matching the first matters more than the first order’s price. The partner records the piqué reference, the thread codes, the button specification and the sealed sample for each style, so a reorder is matched against a physical standard rather than a memory. Stock shades help here too: a stock navy is the same navy next year.

Samples, approval and delivery

A fit sample, then a pre-production sample in the bulk piqué with the collar, buttons and embroidery in place, approved and sealed. Production, inline checks, final inspection and DDP delivery in about 40–50 days door to door, as one landed cost, follow. For a uniform programme we also record the size ratio and packing per site so later orders repeat without re-briefing.

Questions about small-run polo shirts.

Can I order 100 polos for staff uniforms with our logo?

Yes, and it is one of the most common small runs the partner makes. One hundred pieces per style and colour covers a café group, a clinic, a golf club or a delivery fleet, cut and sewn from a pattern that fits your staff rather than a wholesale blank, in a piqué chosen for how the shirts will be washed. Your logo is embroidered on the left chest, with sleeve or back-neck positions and individual names possible, each sewn out on the bulk fabric for approval first. Uniforms are also where a named partner earns its keep on reorders: the piqué reference, thread codes, button specification and sealed sample are kept on file, so the next order matches this one. The practical advice for a uniform is to use the partner’s stock shades, agree a size ratio per site, and put the care instructions on the label that match how your staff will actually launder the shirts.

Which fabric should a polo be made in?

Piqué if you want a polo that looks like a polo: its textured knit holds its shape, hides wear and reads as uniform or golf. A 180–200 GSM piqué is the everyday weight, and 220–240 GSM feels more substantial in the hand. Single jersey gives a softer, more fashion-led polo that drapes closer to the body and suits leisure labels. The fibre decides durability: a cotton-polyester blend resists creasing and holds colour through frequent industrial washing, which is what a daily-laundered uniform needs, while 100% combed cotton feels best for weekend wear and premium ranges. On a 100-piece run the fabric comes from the partner’s stock piqués and jerseys, which cover these weights in the shades uniform buyers usually want. Tell us how the shirts will be worn and washed and we propose the fabric with the sample, rather than starting from a number.

Can names or numbers be added to each shirt on a small run?

Yes. Individual names, roles, site names or numbers are embroidered as a separate position on each shirt, usually on the right chest or a sleeve, and are handled as a list you supply with the order, checked against the size and colour breakdown so the right name lands on the right shirt. Each position is a separate hooping, so a name adds a stitch-count charge per garment and a little time; on 100 pieces that is modest. We sew out one name in the chosen font and thread on the bulk fabric for your approval before the run, because lettering below a few millimetres closes up and needs a font or size change. For fleets that change staff often, brands sometimes prefer a role or site name rather than a personal name, so shirts can be reissued; we can advise on that at the tech-pack stage.
