We started last century! 1999 to be exact. We are still the same family owned and operated and have made life long friends that were once new customers.

Do you outsource your embroidery & printing?

By keeping your branding in house, we are able to produce high quality merchandise with quicker time lines.

What artwork file format do you need?

For Embroidery, we can operate with any file.

For Printing, we prefer vector files such as EPS or PDF.

Vector artwork ensures clean, sharp branding and accurate reproduction across embroidery and printing.

What is stitch count and how does it affect price?

Stitch count refers to the number of stitches used in an embroidered logo.

Higher stitch counts mean more detail and higher production time, which increases cost. Simple logos are more cost-effective, while detailed designs cost more.

What is the difference between embroidery and screen printing?

Embroidery is a premium, highly durable option ideal for polos, shirts, and jackets.

Screen printing is best for large, colourful designs and high-volume orders, offering excellent visual impact at a lower cost per unit.

How do I determine the right size for my staff?

We recommend using half-chest measurements, which are the most accurate way to size uniforms consistently across brands and styles.

This method reduces sizing errors and ensures a better fit than relying on generic S-XL sizing alone.

Can we mix and match uniform styles but still look cohesive?

Yes — mixing styles works well when there is consistency in colour, branding, and fit.

Using the same logo placement, colour palette, and garment category ensures a unified, professional appearance while giving staff flexibility.

How often should uniforms be replaced?

Uniforms should be reviewed every 12–18 months.

Replacement timing depends on job role, wash frequency, and brand standards. Regular reviews help maintain a consistent, professional image and ensure staff comfort and safety.

What is the best fabric for daily wear and workplace durability?

The best fabrics for everyday workwear are breathable, durable fabric blends, such as cotton-polyester combinations.

These blends offer comfort, strength, colour retention, and reduced shrinkage, making them ideal for long shifts, frequent washing, and physically demanding workplaces.

How many uniforms should each staff member have?

We recommend 3–5 uniform sets per staff member.

This allows for daily wear, washing cycles, and unexpected spills or damage while maintaining a professional appearance at all times. Having multiple sets also extends the lifespan of each garment and reduces last-minute uniform stress for your team.

Do you offer bulk discounts?

Yes — bulk discounts are available.

Larger orders reduce unit costs, making bulk purchasing the most economical option for growing teams.

How long does it take for my order to be delivered?

Typical timelines are:

3–5 working days for standard printing
10–15 working days for custom embroidery or larger orders

Delivery times may vary based on stock availability and order complexity.

We are a large business, are you able to assist with our unique needs?

Absolutely! We have serviced some of Australia's most well known brands throughout this great country. Reach out to us and let us show you how we can streamline your uniform ordering process.

How should I care for printed or embroidered garments?

To maximise garment life:

Wash inside out
Use cold or cool water
Avoid tumble drying
Do not iron directly over prints

Proper care preserves colour, shape, and branding.

Are there eco-friendly or sustainable promotional products?

Yes — we offer a wide range of eco-friendly and sustainable promotional products, including recycled, reusable, and biodegradable options.

What are the most effective promotional products?

Popular and effective promotional items include pens, mugs, bags, and drink tumblers.

These products offer high visibility, daily use, and strong brand recall.
