POLOS
Embroidered polo shirts for staff, clubs and events.
Logo polos for front-of-house, field teams and club officials, in cotton, organic and performance fabrics.
Custom polo shirts for staff, clubs and events
OCC Apparel supplies custom polo shirts to New Zealand businesses, clubs, schools and event teams, embroidered or printed with your logo. We source the polo, decorate it locally and deliver New Zealand-wide. Your embroidered polo shirts start with a free mockup, and nothing is stitched until you approve it.
A polo is often the first uniform item an organisation orders: smart enough for front-of-house and practical enough for field teams and club officials. We’ll suggest styles to suit your team, climate and budget.
Choosing the right polo
Start with where the polo will be worn. Indoor teams usually want a soft cotton polo. Outdoor and active teams usually want a performance fabric that stays comfortable in the heat.
- Cotton piqué: a classic, breathable polo for office, retail and front-of-house teams.
- Organic cotton: Stanley/Stella polos for teams that want certified fibre.
- Performance: AllPro performance polos for outdoor work, sport and events, in adult and youth sizes.
- Fit and sleeve: women’s fit, long sleeve and kids’ polos, so staff, officials and junior players can match.
- Hi-vis: for site and road teams, see hi-vis workwear.
Decoration that suits polos
Embroidery is the standard for polos. It sits well on piqué, lasts through frequent washing, and thread is matched to your brand colours. Common positions are left chest, sleeve and back of neck. Keep logos simple at chest size, because fine text can be lost in stitching. Your mockup will flag anything that needs adjusting.
For larger back prints or sponsor logos on performance fabric, screen printing or DTF/DTP transfers work well. Transfers suit cotton, polycotton and non-sublimated polyester.
Polos as a uniform program
Staff polos are reordered every time someone starts. We can hold decorated stock in your sizes, manage reorders, and set up a private OCC OMM™ ordering portal so managers order for new starters without chasing quotes. Club and event polos often need new sponsor logos each season, and transfers make those updates simple.
Certifications are shown per garment. Where a polo carries no certification, we don’t make sustainability claims for it.
