The Gildan DryBlend® Polo (8800) is the smart choice for work uniforms or team wear that requires both comfort and moisture control. Made with DryBlend® Technology (50% cotton / 50% polyester), this jersey-knit polo offers the soft, classic feel of cotton combined with the engineered benefit of wicking sweat away from the body, keeping the wearer cooler and drier throughout the day. We can apply your logo or design perfectly to this versatile blend using screen printing, which is optimal for vibrant, durable bulk orders; DTF (Direct-to-Film), which is great for full-color, high-detail designs on any order size; or a heat press for special transfers. Featuring a classic rib-knit collar and wrinkle resistance, this polo guarantees both performance comfort and a clean, professional look that endures repeated washing and heavy use.
For the best results, please submit your artwork as a high-resolution file such as a PNG (with a transparent background) or a vector file (like PDF or AI).
Production time usually takes 7 to 10 business days after you approve the design proof. Shipping time is added to this, so please plan accordingly for your event date!
Yes, the Gildan DryBlend® Polo (8800) generally fits true to size.
Fit Profile: It offers a classic, relaxed fit—it's designed to be comfortable and roomy, especially through the body. It does not have a modern, tailored, or slim cut.
Fabric Feel: Because it is a 50/50 cotton/polyester blend, it may feel lighter and slightly softer than a 100% heavy cotton polo, but the overall sizing profile remains consistent with other classic Gildan styles.
Recommendation: Order the size you typically wear in standard, comfortable polo shirts.
This printing types works best for groups, so our minimum order size is typically 12 shirts per design. This ensures you get the best print quality and value.
Screen Printing is like using a stencil and wet paint directly on the shirt; it's slow to set up, but cheap for high volumes and creates the most durable, bold designs. Heat Press Printing is the general method of taking a pre-made design (like vinyl or special paper) and sticking it onto the fabric using a hot press machine. DTF (Direct-to-Film) is the best kind of digital "sticker" within that "Heat Press" category; it prints any color or photo onto a film and then uses the press to apply that complete, versatile design to any type of fabric.
