Poly Nation
Poly Nation manufactures blank T-shirts, hoodies and sweaters in Salt River, Cape Town, with in-house printing, embroidery and finishing.
It primarily serves approved trade buyers and limits custom manufacturing to its core product range and fabrics.[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
Also known as Poly Nation Design C.C., Polynation.
01
What they make
- Blank T-shirts, hoodies and sweaters form the core range, alongside polos, long sleeves, vests, fleece jackets and selected children’s garments.[2, 5, 6]
- Garment services include cutting and sewing, printing, embroidery and private labels.[2, 4, 5]
- Decoration includes screen printing, direct-to-film transfers, direct-to-garment printing and embroidery.[1, 2, 4, 5]
Screen printing uses plastisol or water-based inks; agree the method and placement for the selected garment.
02
Minimums and pricing
- The stock-blank offer has no minimum order, while the trade questions leave current stock and branded minimums unspecified. A single dye lot requires 300 units per colour.[1, 4, 5]
- Approved trade accounts can view wholesale prices and specifications and request quotations. Quotes remain valid for 30 days, subject to final artwork review.[1, 3, 4]
03
Samples and lead times
- Printed strike-offs are free above 300 units after the order and payment; eligibility at exactly 300 units differs between the policies.[1, 4]
The sales terms require an order above 300 units and payment of the deposit; the trade questions allow 300 units or more after order and payment. Below the threshold, the sales terms charge ZAR 200 per print colour plus the garment price. Agree tax, delivery and the current sample charge in the quotation.
- Branded orders generally take 10–15 working days after finalisation and deposit, subject to workload and an agreed completion date.[1, 4]
Manufacture or decoration completion excludes carrier transit. The full-payment requirement is a separate condition to resolve before placing the order.
- Rush options are five working days at a 25% surcharge, or two working days at 50%, subject to capacity and written agreement.[1, 4]
These are production or readiness estimates, not delivery guarantees; shipping is additional.

Shipping and fulfillment
- Small blank-stock orders are generally ready 24 hours after payment; larger orders need about 48–72 hours for picking and packing.[1, 4]
This is order handling, not garment manufacturing or transit. The larger-order tier is above 50 units in the sales terms and 50 or more in the trade questions.
- Collection and courier collection are from the Salt River factory, and nationwide South African delivery is offered.[1, 4, 5]
Export fees or duties may be quoted for particular orders; no foreign-country eligibility or worldwide service is established.
- National courier freight is quoted and paid by the buyer. Cape Town Central delivery is free above ZAR 1,000, or ZAR 150 below ZAR 1,000.[1, 4]
Agree the delivery area and charge at exactly ZAR 1,000. Tax, duties and courier transit are separate.

How to order and pay
- Apply for a trade account before ordering; applications are usually reviewed within two working days. Processing requires full payment to clear.[1, 3, 4]
Card and electronic-funds-transfer routes are listed. A developing personal-shopping service does not establish current public retail access.
- Custom manufacturing uses the established core styles and Poly Nation fabrics. Bespoke development outside the range, one-off printing, alterations and very small custom projects are generally excluded.[2, 4]
The service is limited to its own core styles and fabrics. Ask separately about supplied patterns or technical packs before ordering.
- Agree customer-supplied garment acceptance in writing before sending goods.[1, 2]
The company overview generally excludes this work, while the sales terms describe contract printing at the customer’s risk. Replacement or reimbursement is not promised unless agreed in writing.
