The Short Answer
A basic polo with an embroidered left-chest logo usually runs about $24 to $32 a shirt at small business quantities. Embroidery is priced by the number of stitches in your logo, not the number of colors, so a simple logo costs less than a dense one.

What Changes the Price of an Embroidered Polo
- Stitch count. A small, simple logo (around 4,000 to 6,000 stitches) costs less than a dense or large one. Colors don't add cost in embroidery.
- The polo. A basic cotton-blend polo, a performance polo and a name brand like Nike or The North Face are very different prices before any embroidery.
- Quantity. Price per polo drops as you order more.
- Extra locations. A sleeve or back-of-neck logo is a second embroidery run.
- Digitizing. Your logo has to be converted into a stitch file. Some shops charge $25 to $150 for it; Shirt52 includes it.
