Custom Polo Shirt Manufacturer in China
NOVITA produces custom polo shirts in China for brands, wholesalers and uniform suppliers. Choose from piqué, jersey and knitted styles, then specify the collar, placket, logo decoration and private label details for sample approval.
Polo Styles and Product Development
NOVITA produces custom polo shirts for brands, uniform suppliers and importers worldwide. Our piqué knits, knitted polos and performance polos are made in our own Foshan facility with full in-house embroidery, printing and washing.
Every polo program starts with a fabric and trim meeting: GSM, yarn count, collar style, button material and label packaging are all customizable. Sample development typically takes 7–14 days; bulk production 60 days after sample approval.
Custom Polo Manufacturing for Brands and Wholesalers
NOVITA is a China-based polo manufacturer supporting custom OEM, ODM and private label production for clothing brands, wholesalers, importers and distributors. Programs are built around your own specification rather than a fixed catalogue: fabric, collar and placket construction, buttons, labels and decoration are all confirmed before bulk.
As a polo shirt supplier we work either from a complete tech pack or from a reference sample and sketch, depending on what stage your product is at. Teams that already have a specification move straight to costing and sampling; teams still developing a range can use us for fabric and construction guidance first.
Buyers shortlisting polo manufacturers or polo shirt manufacturers generally compare the same things: how quickly samples come back, what decoration can be handled in-house, how labels and packaging are managed, and how closely bulk matches the approved sample. Those are the areas we focus on.
Piqué vs Jersey Polo Fabrics
Most polo programs begin with the choice between two knit structures. Piqué has a textured, slightly raised surface that holds its shape and reads more formal — which is why it dominates corporate and uniform polos. Jersey is smoother and softer with a more relaxed drape, and is common in fashion-led and streetwear styles. Breathability, opacity and the way the surface takes embroidery all follow from the structure, so the decision is normally made alongside fabric weight and the intended end use.
For a closer comparison of texture, appearance, breathability, drape and typical use, see our guide to piqué vs jersey polo shirts.

Private Label Polo Shirts
Private label polo shirts can carry your own branding at every touchpoint: custom woven or printed main labels, neck labels, size labels, hangtags and packaging. Decoration is handled in-house, so embroidery and printing are developed against the same fabric and construction that will be used in bulk, rather than applied separately afterwards.
As a custom polo shirt manufacturer we normally ask for the label artwork, neck label position, size label format and hangtag requirements at the same time as the garment specification, so both are sampled together. If you are still deciding how the manufacturing relationship should work, our guide to private label clothing manufacturing explains how private label, OEM and ODM arrangements differ.
Embroidery, Printing & Branding
Polo decoration is usually a mix of placement and technique — chest logo, sleeve mark, back graphic or all-over print. Embroidery suits a left-chest logo on piqué; printing and sublimation suit larger graphics and performance styles. Artwork, placement, colour references and the garment colour should be confirmed before sampling, so the decorated sample is what gets approved.
MOQ, Sampling & Bulk Production
Custom orders start from 100 pcs per color, with mixed sizes allowed. Sample development typically takes 7–14 days, and bulk production typically runs 60 days after sample approval, depending on order quantity, fabric availability, customization requirements and product complexity.
For teams placing bulk polo shirts or wholesale polo shirts for a season, the practical sequence is specification, sample approval, bulk fabric confirmation, production and inspection. Our sample development process and OEM and ODM manufacturing process set out what is confirmed at each stage.

Quality Control
Quality inspection can be carried out according to agreed specifications, with AQL 2.5 used when required by the order. Fabric weight, measurements, workmanship, decoration, labels and packing are checked against the approved sample. Our apparel quality control checklist lists what buyers usually review before shipment.

Plan Your Custom Polo Shirt Order
