We study doubly polarised asymmetries of c-cbar and b-bbar mesons in hadro- and photo-production at low transverse momentum in non-relativistic QCD to high orders in the relative velocity of the pair, v. We give the complete set of expressions required for the asymmetries up to order v^9. The asymmetries in the production of eta_{c,b} states are a stable measure of the polarised gluon densities. The asymmetries for chi_{c,b}, J/psi, psi', and the various Upsilon states are stringent tests of the NRQCD scaling relations.
