Looking to purchase some polos with my company logo...where to buy from?

[Encrypted Existence]

Hello all. The title pretty much says it all. I am looking to purchase some polos with my company logo on them. Which companies have you guys (and gals) had success with? Thanks.

I have used Queensboro.com several times. They have good prices, and the clothes are good quality.

Not sure if referral links are allowed, but if so, this is mine http://www.queensboro.com/ref/EQBQSSOCEEE

Try local if you can, certain things are just better done in person. That said, if your area is anything like mine, then you are surrounded by a bunch of nedneck halftards that do not know how to use the equipment or computers set up for their job and have no ability to properly apply any graphics or logos . . . sorry bad experiences for me both on sign making and polos. I am now dealing with another local company that will hopefully be more competent than the last (now out of business).

very happy with the ones i got from Logoup.com http://www.technibble.com/forums/showpost.php?p=294048&postcount=12

they sent me a email they would give me a 75 dollar giftcard if i put a link on my website (i used my personal page rather than my biz site)

and ended up making another order and got a backpack and a blue button up long sleeve. total cost to me was like 5 dollars.

Thanks for the replies so far. I think I am going to have to at least seriously consider Queensboro. I may also have a look at the local embroiderers around my way. There is a few.

I'll second a vote for logoup.com - have had great luck with their polo's, tshirts, and ball caps.

+1 for Queensboro on quality/price. My shirts came out great!

L.L. Bean has done good work for me the last 10 years or so.

Very well satisfied with Queensboro here. If I remember right, my last 4 shirt order, logo and all was around $60 shipped.

How do you guys justify the extra cost with local business? I'd love to support local, but the price diff is insane.
For example: I had a small banner made up on nice heavy vinyl. something like 24" x 48" I believe. Purchased online at signchief or something like that, total cost including shipping $40. Local shop wanted some crazy price like $380

I have used DFC Screen Printing, great prices, and I get the dry fit golf polos. They dont charge for embroidering the logo either. You can also mix and match colors and sizes.

+1 for Queensboro. Great shirts at a good price. Awesome CS too.

If it isn't too costly, I would recommend using local businesses for everything possible. It gives you a chance to network and possible gain them as a customer of yours.

I recently used a local shop and was not happy with the final product. I will be looking into Queensboro and dfcprinting.

They always have something on sale. Signup on their mailing list, wait for a week or two for special discount. I recently order Nike Polo Shirt for $15 each. Regular are more than $65 (I can't remember the exact price.)

Excellent quality!

Agreed....just like having print jobs done, flyers, business cards, sales material, etc.

Plus...you get to see what different shirts they use with your eyes, and you can touch those shirts with your bare hands, getting an idea of the material, quality, etc. And you can see examples of their work...ink, embroidery, etc. You know 100% exactly what you're getting before you place that order.

And it's just good business to spread your business local. Good karma.
I'm a firm believer in doing this. I've had work come to me from this...you're more likely to get business in return.

Do you like your customers to outsource their IT to overseas IT? After all, it's cheaper..isn't it?

Try another local sign place. That seems a bit extreme, I bet my local sign guy wouldn't be over 100 bucks for that...probably not over 60.

Business cards even....we had some very very high quality custom biz cards done...used a local guy, ~40 bucks per 1,000. Thick stock, semi gloss, custom logo that we went back 'n forth with him a dozen times with for proofs....custom print on the back side. The prior guy we used a few years ago, local, was almost 300 bucks for that same order....so yeah local guys can vary in price, but keep shopping, you can find other local places.

yep we are $52.99/1,000, $77.99/5,000 4/4 UV 14 or 16pt paper..... we use to be a bit cheaper but usually we have to horse around with the graphics so we raised the price a bit plus then we can actually give discounts for non-profits and current customers.

Banners we are at $2 - $3/sqft ... for that one it'd have been $30 (we have a $25 min. order on vinyl). our 10' x 10' banners are just $199 delivered... so that's only $1.99/sqft.

Update

The polos that I ordered from Queensboro came in last night and they look amazing. I chose the Nike Dr-Fit polos. The material that they are made from is very light. I am very pleased. Thanks for all of the suggestions. I will be suggesting Queensboro from now on!
