Silk-screen printing on polo shirts (UAE)
Branded silk-screen printing on polo shirts in the UAE — UAE dirham pricing, runs from 50 units, same- or next-day in Dubai and Abu Dhabi; 1–2 days to northern emirates.
Why this combination works
The screen print × polos pairing hinges on substrate and placement. The 180–220 gsm cotton/poly piqué substrate takes screen print well, and the decoration zone (left chest, sleeve) is generous enough for a shaped logo. In the UAE, this is a proven combination and ships with minimal iteration.
Models and materials that fit
The polo substrate is 180–220 gsm cotton/poly piqué; screen print needs textile, paper, plastic. The match is good, and we treat left chest, sleeve as the working canvas for the logo. In the UAE we spec models to match the segment.
Prints and branding approaches
Screen print on a polo works the zone at left chest, sleeve. Colour: Pantone spot colours, typically up to 6. In feel: dense opaque ink. In the UAE this is the most predictable finish for corporate runs.
Bundling and packaging
Polos are a textile, and their packaging in the UAE runs as a two-layer pack: inner sleeve plus branded outer box or kraft bag with paper tape. Executive tier adds a UTM card.

the UAE context
Our the UAE pipeline skews toward financial institutions, real estate developers, hospitality groups, energy majors, and the region's MICE organisers — timing planning should account for Ramadan and Eid gifting cycles, National Day (2 December) and the expo / MICE season.
