Custom Embroidered Gildan 64800 Softstyle Pique Polo
The Gildan 64800 is the value cotton polo: Softstyle ring-spun cotton in a double pique knit, at a blank price that lets a business put the whole crew in a stitched-logo polo. When the brief is "a real polo for every employee," this is where the math starts.
The Gildan 64800 blank runs $10.69 per piece through our live S&S Activewear catalog, before decoration. Embroidery starts at 24 pieces (about $9.63 per piece for a 5,000-stitch left-chest logo at 24 pieces) plus a one-time $45.00 digitizing fee per design, and every order includes a free digital proof.

Gildan describes the 64800 double pique as breathable and ideal for embroidery. The textured pique face gives a left-chest logo a stable base, and the ring-spun cotton stays comfortable through a full shift.
It is a true cotton pique polo at a blank price well below performance polos like the Devon & Jones DG20 (both guides show the live figure), which is what makes it work for uniform programs where every location and new hire needs several shirts.
Decoration
Which Decoration Method Works Best on the Gildan 64800?
Embroidery
The natural match. A left-chest logo on the pique face is the classic company polo, and a sleeve or back-yoke mark is priced as a second location in the calculator. We digitize once and keep the stitch file, so reorders for new hires skip the digitizing fee.
Screen printing
Works for larger runs and back prints. The pique texture breaks up very fine detail, so bold shapes and clean text print best; we flag anything too fine on the proof.
Watch out for
Cotton pique wrinkles more than a performance knit and is warmer in the sun. For outdoor crews, kitchens or anyone who sweats through a shift, the moisture-wicking Devon & Jones DG20 is the better pick.
