What is the difference between 155gsm and 180gsm golf polo shirts for corporate events
The key difference is fabric weight, hand feel and how each wears during physical activity. A 155gsm polyester mesh polo is lighter and more breathable, making it popular for active tournament days where players walk the full course in warm conditions. An 180gsm pique knit polo has a more structured, substantial feel that suits staff uniforms and corporate presentations where a polished appearance matters as much as comfort. If the polo is for players in a warm-weather round, the lighter option is the practical choice. For venue staff or client gifts where quality perception is the priority, the heavier weight reads as more premium.
What is the difference between embroidered and screen printed golf polo shirts for outdoor teams
Embroidery stitches thread directly into the fabric, giving a raised, textured finish that holds up through heavy washing and extended outdoor use without fading or peeling. Screen print lays ink flat on the fabric surface, delivering bold colour and clean edges, but it is better suited to simpler designs with fewer colours. For golf polos worn repeatedly as staff uniforms or team gear, embroidery is the longer-lasting option. Screen print works well for one-off tournament polos or high-volume giveaways where cost efficiency matters more than long-term durability. The method also depends on logo complexity, as fine detail and gradients translate better to print.
Can I order matching men's and ladies golf polo shirts in the same colour for a co-ed corporate team
Yes, several polo styles in the range are available in matching men's and women's cuts so mixed-gender teams present uniformly. The TRENDSWEAR Apex and Harvey styles come in both men's and ladies versions, making it straightforward to order a consistent colour and branding treatment across the full group. When ordering for a co-ed team, confirm the size split early so your artwork mockup can be applied across both cuts before production begins. Our team can also advise on sizing charts for each style to reduce the likelihood of returns or size exchanges after delivery.
How long does production take for branded golf polo shirts ordered for a corporate golf day
Most stock polo orders are ready within about 2 weeks from artwork sign-off, which covers both the embroidery or printing process and delivery to your address. If your golf day has a fixed date, flag it at the time of enquiry so the team can confirm whether the standard production path fits your timeline or whether an express option is needed. Larger orders across multiple sizes and colours may require a slightly longer window. Indent orders, where polos are manufactured to your specifications, take longer but offer greater flexibility on fabric, colour and branding placement.
What branding methods are available for men's golf polo shirts
The two primary branding methods for golf polo shirts are embroidery and screen print, with the right choice depending on your logo complexity, fabric type and intended use. Embroidery is the most common for corporate polo uniforms because the stitched finish looks premium and survives repeated washing. Screen print suits bold, simple logos on lightweight performance fabrics where a flat, clean print is preferred. Some styles also support heat transfer or digital transfer methods for full-colour or multi-colour artwork on performance polyester. Your free artwork mockup will show exactly how the logo translates to the chosen method before any production begins.
Are UPF-rated golf polo shirts available for outdoor staff working in direct sunlight
Yes, the Custom Fishing Polo offers UPF50 sun protection through its 150gsm ultra mesh polyester construction, making it a practical option for outdoor staff in high-exposure settings. The long-sleeved cut covers the forearms while the lightweight mesh keeps airflow moving in warm conditions. This style suits course marshals, groundskeeping supervisors, outdoor hospitality staff and fishing guides who spend extended periods in direct sunlight. The UPF50 rating blocks 98 percent of UV radiation, which is the highest protective rating available and aligns with sun safety requirements on many outdoor work sites and event venues.
What other products can I combine with branded golf polo shirts for a complete corporate golf day pack
A complete corporate golf day pack typically combines a branded polo with several supporting items that carry the logo across every touchpoint on the day. Popular additions include printed golf balls as a premium keepsake, a golf towel clipped to the bag for a practical branded reminder, a golf cap or visor for sun protection and team identity, and a golf umbrella in full-panel colour for high-visibility brand display. Sunscreen and lip balm add a practical safety item that players genuinely use. Corporate golf accessories such as tees, ball markers and divot tools can be bundled into a small welcome bag for each player.
Which polo shirt weight is best for hospitality staff working both indoor and outdoor roles
An 180gsm pique knit polyester polo is generally the most practical weight for hospitality staff who move between indoor service and outdoor settings during a shift. The structured pique weave holds its shape through a full day of activity, resists wrinkling during service, and looks presentable whether the team member is behind a bar or on an outdoor terrace. The polyester construction also dries quickly if staff encounter spills or light rain during outdoor duties. For venues where the outdoor component is significant and sun exposure is a concern, pairing the polo with a cap or visor from the range provides a complete, coordinated staff presentation.
