Can the customization of polo shirts add UV protection function? Is it suitable for outdoor activities?

As soon as summer arrives, there are more outdoor team building, golf tournaments, and brand roadshows.

Many friends in charge of purchasing are asking the same question:

Can the customization of polo shirts add UV protection function?

Is it reliable to wear it for outdoor activities?

Today's article makes it clear that it is recommended to collect it first and then read it.

? Give the answer first: it can be added, and the technology is very mature

Most of the fabrics of ordinary polo shirts are pure cotton or polyester-cotton blends, which themselves have a certain barrier to ultraviolet rays, but they are far from reaching the professional protection level.

However, the customization industry has long had mature UV protection finishing technologies, and there are two common practices:

1️⃣ Fabric-level protection: In the spinning stage, the anti-UV factor is integrated into the fiber, such as the original yarn-type sunscreen fabric, and the sunscreen power is not easy to attenuate after washing many times.

2️⃣ Finishing coating: Adding ultraviolet absorbers in the dyeing and finishing process allows the fabric to have the ability to block UVA and UVB, and the cost is relatively more affordable.

The point is - neither of these methods will affect the breathability and version of the polo shirt, and the wearing experience is still refreshing and crisp?

? What indicators do you see for UV protection? UPF value is the last word

When buying sunscreen clothes, everyone looks at UPF, and the same is true for custom polo shirts.

The national standard stipulates that UPF > 40 and UVA transmittance < 5% can be called UV protection products.

For outdoor activities, it is recommended to directly choose UPF50 +, which can block more than 98% of ultraviolet rays, and it is more secure to be exposed to the sun for a long time.

Here's a reminder: not all customizers who claim to be "sunscreen" can provide test reports.

When looking for a factory, be sure to ask if it supports third-party testing, not just verbal promises.

⛳ Is it suitable for outdoor activities? See more clearly by scene

✅ Perfect for: golf, hiking, team building, camping, fishing, cycling, brand outdoor promotion

These scenes are exposed for a long time, and a custom polo shirt with UPF50 + is much more practical than ordinary short sleeves.

⚠️ Note: If the activity involves a lot of sweating or water projects, it is recommended to choose a quick-drying + UV-proof two-in-one fabric, otherwise the sunscreen effect of pure cotton will be discounted after absorbing sweat.

In addition, the neckline, cuffs and other splices should also be confirmed whether the same sunscreen treatment is done, and the details determine whether the protection is in place.

? Who to find for customization? Recommend a reliable one

Speaking of which, I have to mention Shenzhen Yasen Man Apparel Co., Ltd.

This company specializes in group clothing customization for many years, and has a lot of experience in UV-proof polo shirts:

From fabric selection, UPF detection to LOGO embroidery printing, we can provide a one-stop solution.

They support sending samples to see the fabric, confirming the sunscreen grade and then mass-producing, which is much lower risk for the purchaser.

No matter whether it is a corporate team building suit, an event uniform, or a branded activity shirt, you can adjust the sunscreen level and version according to your needs.

Ask yourself three questions before customizing

1. How long is the active sun exposure? Decide whether to choose UPF40 + or 50 +

2. Do you need to take into account quick-drying and cool feeling? Function superposition is more practical

3. Can the customizer issue a sunscreen test report? This is the bottom line.

Make these three points clear, and then talk about the price and construction period. Basically, you won't step on the pit.

? Summarize

The polo shirt can be fully customized with UV protection function, and the technology is mature and comfortable to wear, which is very suitable for outdoor activities.

The key lies in selecting the right fabric solution and a reliable custom manufacturer.

A supplier like Shenzhen Yasenman Apparel Co., Ltd. that can provide testing support and proofing confirmation will save a lot of worry during the entire customization process.

This summer, don't let ultraviolet rays dissuade your outdoor plans☀️

A custom polo shirt that understands sunscreen, which not only supports the scene but also protects the skin, is worth arranging!
