Tipping is the cheapest way to make a polo look designed rather than bought. A single contrasting stripe on the collar and cuffs gives a club, school or corporate polo a recognisable identity without adding a large printed logo. We knit collar and cuff with the tipping integrated, so it does not fray or peel like applied trim.

Because tipping lives in the collar and cuff, the same body colour can carry several identities: navy with white for one club, navy with gold for another. Buyers use this to launch a family of products off one fabric order, which keeps MOQs practical and colour consistent.
FAQ
Q: Is the tipping knitted in or sewn on?
A: It is knitted into the collar and cuff rib, so it will not peel, curl or fray. Applied trim is the common failure point and we do not use it.
Q: Can I choose any contrast colour?
A: Yes. Match your Pantone, or choose from our stock yarn range with no minimum on yarn.
Q: Can I combine tipping with embroidery?
A: Yes, both are done on the same order and approved together on the 7-day sample.
Q: Is there a minimum for a custom tipping yarn colour?
A: Custom tipping colours are dyed to your Pantone against the order; stock yarn colours have no yarn minimum, so small runs are practical.
Q: How does tipping hold up after industrial washing?
A: Because the contrast yarn is knitted into the rib rather than applied on top, it does not peel or fray. That is the reason we do not use applied trim.
Q: What is the MOQ and sampling time for a tipped polo?
A: 50 pcs per colour and design, 7-day sampling, 15-25 days bulk production after approval.
Q: Can you keep our club or company colours on file?
A: Yes. We archive the body colour, tipping colour and logo file, so next season's order matches this one.
