The three questions we get asked most, answered in one place. Prices are ex VAT; the inc VAT figure is one tap away anywhere on the site.
Is there a minimum order?
No. You can order a single embroidered polo. Quantity discounts start when you build a kit: 10% off the garments at three or more, 15% at five or more, 20% at ten or more, and the one-off embroidery set-up is waived at ten garments.
How much does embroidered workwear cost?
A PRO RTX polo with an embroidered chest logo is £5.35 for the garment plus the decoration: the chest logo is included when you build a kit or buy a bundle, and a standard embroidered position on a single garment is £5. A new embroidered logo carries a one-off £10 digitising set-up, paid once, and we keep your logo on file. As a guide, five embroidered polos with a new logo come to about £37 ex VAT plus delivery, and ten come to about £66 with the set-up waived and the 20% kit discount applied.
