Piqué is known for the honeycomb cells that knit and tuck stitches open across its surface: the raised texture forms air channels and the cloth stands structured — which is what keeps a polo collar sitting up. The polyester base adds moisture management, shape retention through washing and sublimation suitability. Our programme runs from classic piqué to a body-skimming elastane version, fine-celled mini piqué and jacquard piqué that knits the motif into the cloth.
The textured face is also a strong branding ground: embroidery and logo applications sit cleanly on piqué. We produce for polo and corporate-promotional wear for brands and garment makers across Western Europe, Russia and the CIS, and routinely produce to the test standards of European sports and apparel brands. The ordering terms below are the same figures we quote.

Frequently asked questions
What is your minimum order (MOQ) for polyester piqué?
We work in the 500–1,000 kg per colour range; the exact figure is confirmed with your quotation depending on the cell construction. In-season repeat orders are planned on the same recipe.
What are your lead time and delivery terms?
Typical lead time is 3–4 weeks from order confirmation to dispatch; we work EXW, FOB or DAP. Quotation requests are answered within 2 business days.
How does piqué perform under embroidery and logos?
The structured, upright piqué ground carries embroidery well: the cell texture hides needle marks and edges sit without puckering. In jacquard piqué the motif is knitted in — logo areas can be worked print-free and permanently.
Is it suitable for sublimation printing, and which variant should I choose?
Polyester piqué takes sublimation well; the crispest detail comes on fine-celled mini piqué, while classic piqué gives a livelier surface character through its cell texture. We tune heat-setting parameters together with your printer’s process.
How do you keep colour continuity lot to lot in corporate uniforms?
The colour recipe is fixed at first lab-dip approval; later lots are dyed on the same recipe and the same dyehouse process, with shade and fastness checks reported before dispatch. That is the backbone of long-running uniform programmes.
