Description
The Port Authority L572 Women's Dry Zone Grid Polo is 4.3 oz, 100% polyester with a grid-pique knit that wicks moisture away from skin and controls odor. The construction distinguishes it from a flat-knit performance polo: the raised grid channels improve airflow and give the garment a structured, elevated appearance suitable for uniform programs, corporate events, and hospitality staff. The self-fabric Johnny collar and slightly curved hem are women's-specific details that produce a cleaner silhouette than a standard flat-knit polo collar. Open hem sleeves allow full range of motion without side vents, keeping the profile trim. The 100% polyester body means this garment is sublimation-capable on White and light colorways, which the cotton-blend performance polos in the line cannot deliver. That distinction matters for programs that need all-over or full-color sublimated designs alongside standard embroidered corporate colorways.
Embroidery is the primary decoration method for the L572 across all 11 colorways. The grid-pique surface requires a topping film to prevent needle deflection through the mesh channels, particularly on finer stitch designs. Left-chest placement opposite the two-button placket is the standard position for corporate and hospitality logo programs. Sublimation is viable on White and other pale colorways given the 100% polyester substrate; for dark grounds such as Black, True Navy, and Engine Red, the process does not produce accurate color reproduction and embroidery or DTF is the correct route. DTF transfers bond to the polyester grid surface across all 11 colorways and are the most practical option for full-color art on any ground. Screen printing with plastisol works on flat chest and back panels, but the raised grid texture is visible through thin ink deposits. Use a heavier ink load and a test sample before committing a production run. DTG is not a viable method on a 100% polyester substrate.

Decoration Method Compatibility
How this blank performs across popular decoration methods.
| Method | Compatible | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Embroidery | ✓ | Primary method for all 11 colorways. Grid-pique surface requires a topping film to prevent needle deflection through mesh channels. Left-chest placement opposite the two-button placket is standard. Cut-away stabilizer recommended. Avoid dense stitch counts across large areas on the grid texture. |
| DTF Transfer | ✓ | Bonds to the polyester grid surface across all 11 colorways. Most practical route for full-color art on dark grounds where sublimation is not viable. Soft hand on the 100% polyester face. |
| Sublimation | ✓ | Viable on White and pale colorways only (100% polyester substrate). Not suitable for Black, True Navy, Engine Red, or other dark grounds where dye cannot reproduce accurately. Confirm color lightness before committing sublimation production runs. |
| Screen Print (Plastisol) | ✓ | Works on flat chest and back panels. Raised grid texture is visible through thin ink deposits; use a heavier ink load and test on a sample garment before production. Poly-block underbase required on dark and bright colorways to prevent dye migration. |
| Vinyl / HTV | ✓ | Bonds to the polyester grid surface at standard temperature. Best for names, numbers, and small single-color designs. Use a firm press to ensure adhesion into the grid channels. Avoid large panels where grid flex may stress adhesion over time. |
| DTG | ✗ | 100% polyester substrate does not accept pretreatment for DTG. Route to DTF or embroidery. |
| Discharge Printing | ✗ | 100% polyester will not discharge. Route to DTF or plastisol screen print on dark grounds. |

Fabric Blend by Color Group
Not all colorways share the same fabric composition. Check the blend before ordering for decoration jobs where substrate matters.
| Color Group | Blend | Print Consideration |
|---|---|---|
| White and light colors (White, Celadon Blue, Yellow, Battleship Gray) | 100% polyester, 4.3 oz | Sublimation viable on White and other pale grounds (full dye uptake on 100% poly). DTF and embroidery also work across all light colors. Screen plastisol with poly-block underbase on any ground with color saturation to prevent dye migration. |
| Dark colors (Black, True Navy, Engine Red, Jewel Green, True Royal) | 100% polyester, 4.3 oz | Sublimation not suitable on dark grounds. Embroidery preferred for logo programs on dark colorways. DTF most consistent for full-color decoration. Screen plastisol with poly-block underbase and heavier ink load required; test for dye migration on saturated darks before production. |
| Bright and accent colors (Autumn Orange, Magenta) | 100% polyester, 4.3 oz | DTF preferred on brights. Embroidery with contrast thread reads cleanly on saturated grounds. Screen print test strongly recommended before production runs on fluorescent-adjacent shades. Poly-block underbase required for light ink on saturated grounds. |
