Port Authority K500 Silk Touch polo with embroidered company logo
Service companies put the K500 on whoever meets the customer: estimators, dispatch, lead techs, the owner. It is a $13.55 blank in 40+ colors with a matching women's cut, and the pique surface takes a left-chest logo cleanly. Battle Born Clothing embroiders it in-house on commercial machines.
From $17.55 each at 144 with a left-chest logo

Pairing polos with crew tees
Most of our trade customers run two shirts: PC61 tees for the field and K500 polos for anyone customer-facing. One logo file covers both, so you pay digitizing once and the screen-print artwork is built from the same vector. See the HVAC example for the math on a 12-tech company.
Decoration options
Screen print (1 to 2 colors, front and back) is the usual pick for crew tees. Left-chest embroidery is the usual pick for polos and button-front work shirts. Battle Born Clothing does both in-house in Yerington, NV. Name drops (first name or title under the logo) are quoted per job. See decoration for how each process holds up on the job.
