Description
The Core365 88181P is a 4.9 oz 100% polyester performance piqué polo with a left chest pocket, three-button placket, and moisture-wicking antimicrobial properties. The chest pocket separates this polo from non-pocket performance styles and is the detail that uniform programs, facilities management teams, and maintenance staff need for carrying pens, ID badges, and small tools while maintaining a professional appearance. The 100% polyester piqué resists shrinkage and color fading through industrial wash cycles, which is why corporate uniform programs with weekly laundering requirements specify performance poly over cotton polos.
Embroidery is the primary decoration method. The piqué knit provides a textured but stable surface for stitches, and the left chest placement works around the pocket flap. For above-pocket embroidery, position the design so stitches do not run onto the pocket itself. DTF transfers bond to the polyester piqué for full-color logos on the right chest or back yoke. Screen printing requires poly-block or low-bleed ink on all colorways to prevent dye migration from the 100% polyester. Heat transfer vinyl for names and individual customization.

Decoration Method Compatibility
How this blank performs across popular decoration methods.
| Method | Compatible | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Embroidery | ✓ | Primary method. Piqué knit provides a stable surface. Left chest above-pocket and right chest placements. |
| DTF Transfer | ✓ | Bonds to the polyester piqué for full-color logos on right chest or back yoke. |
| Screen Print (Poly-Block Ink) | ✓ | Requires poly-block or low-bleed ink on ALL colorways. 100% polyester carries high dye-migration risk. |
| Heat Transfer Vinyl | ✓ | Names and individual customization. Standard HTV at recommended settings. |
| Sublimation | ✓ | Works on White. 100% polyester carries dye-sub ink to full vibrancy on white ground only. |
| DTG (Direct-to-Garment) | ✗ | 100% polyester is not a DTG substrate. Water-based DTG ink does not bond to polyester. |
