Team Colours, Stripe Precision, Unlimited Design — Built for Organisations That Take Their Identity Seriously

Q: Is the Custom Stripe Hoodie suitable for female staff and athletes?

Yes. The Custom Stripe Hoodie is unisex and available in sizes A(2XS) to A(5XL), covering both men and women from a single order and single invoice.

Q: Can we see a proof of the stripe design before production?

Yes. A digital proof confirming colour accuracy, logo placement, and stripe layout is provided before any production commences. No garments are produced until you have approved the proof.

The stripe is one of the most powerful visual signals in team identity.

It communicates belonging, structure, and professionalism in a single glance — which is why it has been the foundation of sports uniforms, corporate activewear, and team apparel for over a century.

The PK Planett Custom Stripe Hoodie takes that visual language and removes every constraint that standard decoration methods impose on it.

The sublimated stripe panel is produced using dye sublimation — heat-fused directly into the fabric — which means your stripe colours are reproduced with photographic precision, not approximated through thread counts or screen separations.

Unlimited colours in the stripe panel.

Unlimited logos within the design.

Gradients, colour transitions, fine detail — all rendered exactly as your designer intended, against a clean black poly/cotton body that anchors the stripe and keeps the overall garment looking sharp.

Available for both men and women, in sizes from A(2XS) to A(5XL).

Custom made to order.

30-Day Business Accounts are available for established Australian organisations.

The Stripe Format: Why It Works for Team Identity

The stripe panel on the Custom Stripe Hoodie runs across the shoulders and upper chest — the most visually prominent zone of the garment when worn.

This placement means your team colours are immediately visible from a distance — on the sideline, in the stands, at the event, or in the office.

The stripe format is particularly effective for organisations with two or more brand colours, because it allows each colour to be presented with equal visual weight rather than one dominating the other.

It is also the format that most naturally accommodates sponsor logos — the horizontal stripe provides a natural banner for logo placement that reads clearly at distance and in photography.

And because the stripe is sublimated rather than embroidered or screen printed, the colours are rendered with the same precision as a professionally printed banner — not approximated through the constraints of thread or ink.

The B2B Friction-Free Guide

Design Process

The sublimated stripe panel accommodates any artwork file in standard vector or high-resolution raster format.

Our team will review your artwork and provide a digital proof of the stripe design before production commences — no garments are produced until you have approved the layout, colours, and logo placement.

If you need design assistance, our in-house team can work with your brand guidelines, team colours, and sponsor requirements to develop a stripe design that maximises the panel area.

Production

The Custom Stripe Hoodie is made to order — production commences after artwork approval and order confirmation.

Lead times vary based on order volume and current production scheduling.

Contact our team at the point of enquiry to confirm current lead times — for season launches, presentation nights, and event merchandise, early engagement is strongly recommended.

Sizing

Available from A(2XS) through to A(5XL), the Custom Stripe Hoodie covers the full range of your team without requiring separate men's and women's orders.

The ‘A’ prefix denotes the PK Planett sizing system — contact our team for a detailed size chart before placing your order.

We recommend confirming sizing with our team and ordering a fit sample before committing to a full production run — see our Samples Ordering Process below.

Account Terms

Real-World Logic: The Custom Stripe Hoodie in Australian Team Environments

Application A — Amateur Football Club, South Australia

A football club is producing end-of-season hoodies for 120 players, coaches, and committee members.

The club's colours are royal blue and gold — a combination that has never been accurately reproduced via embroidery because the gold thread available never quite matches the club's Pantone specification.

The sublimated stripe panel renders the royal blue and gold at exact Pantone accuracy, with the club crest and two major sponsor logos placed within the stripe.

The result is a hoodie that looks like it was designed for this club specifically — because it was.

Application B — Corporate Activewear Program, Queensland

A logistics company is introducing a new activewear uniform for its warehouse and operations team — a mixed-gender workforce ranging from small to large frame.

The Operations Manager needs a hoodie that carries the company's brand colours in the stripe, accommodates the company logo and a safety certification mark in the panel, and fits both male and female staff from the same size run.

The Custom Stripe Hoodie covers all three requirements from a single product, a single order, and a single invoice.

Application C — School Representative Team, New South Wales

A secondary school is producing hoodies for its representative sports teams across swimming, athletics, and cross country.

Each team needs the school crest, the sport designation, and the house colour stripe — three distinct design elements that would require three separate embroidery placements at significant additional cost.

The sublimated stripe accommodates all three elements in a single production step, at a unit price that fits within the school's per-student uniform budget.

B2B Intelligence FAQ

Q1: What is the difference between the Custom Stripe Hoodie and the Custom Panel Hoodie?

The Custom Stripe Hoodie features a sublimated stripe across the shoulders and upper chest — a structured, horizontal design format that is particularly effective for team sports, school uniforms, and corporate activewear where a clean, strong visual identity at distance is the priority.

The Custom Panel Hoodie features a larger sublimated area covering the full top panel including the hood, providing more design real estate for complex brand imagery, promotional merchandise, and maximum logo coverage.

Both products use the same sublimation technology with unlimited colours and logos — the choice comes down to the design format that best suits your visual identity and application.

Q2: Can we match our exact Pantone or brand colours in the stripe?

Yes. Sublimation reproduces colour from digital artwork files, which means your Pantone or brand colour specifications can be matched with a high degree of accuracy — significantly closer than embroidery thread matching or screen printing ink mixing.

A digital proof is provided before production commences, allowing you to review and approve colour accuracy before any garments are produced.

Q3: Can we include sponsor logos in the stripe design?

Yes. The sublimated stripe accommodates unlimited logos with no additional cost per logo element.

The horizontal stripe format is particularly well-suited to sponsor logo placement — it provides a natural banner that reads clearly at distance and in photography, making it effective for clubs and events where sponsor visibility is a key requirement.

Q4: Is the Custom Stripe Hoodie suitable for female staff and athletes?

Yes. The Custom Stripe Hoodie is listed in both Mens and Ladies Jumpers collections and is available in a unisex size run from A(2XS) to A(5XL).

This means a single order covers your entire mixed-gender team without requiring separate men's and women's products, separate orders, or separate invoices.

Q5: How does the sublimation hold up through sport and repeated washing?

Sublimation dye is heat-fused into the polyester fibres at a molecular level — it is not a surface application and cannot crack, peel, or wash out.

The stripe colours will maintain their fidelity through the repeated washing cycles of an active sports or workwear program, provided standard care instructions are followed.

Q6: Can we see a proof of the stripe design before production?

Yes. A digital proof of the stripe design is provided for your approval before any production commences.

The proof confirms colour accuracy, logo placement, stripe layout, and overall design intent.

No garments are produced until you have reviewed and approved the proof — this is a non-negotiable step in our custom production process.

Q7: What is the minimum order quantity and lead time?

Minimum order quantities apply for custom sublimation production.

Lead times vary based on order volume, design complexity, and current production scheduling.

Contact our team at the point of enquiry with your volume, size distribution, and required delivery date — we will confirm the applicable minimum, provide a production quote, and advise on scheduling options for your program.

FAQs

Please read our FAQs page to find out more.

How long has Uniforms.com.au been in business?

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?

We are one of the very few uniform businesses in this country that have actually invested in to our own embroidery and print machines.

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

Are you Australian based?

100% owned and operated right here in Australia. We service the entire country as well as New Zealand and overseas customers from our factory in Australia.

What if I can't find what I am looking for on your site?

Our online store displays all our biggest selling and most popular products. Chances are that if you have a unique request not displayed on the site, we possibly still have it!

We continually add products daily to the site to keep it up to date but by all means, start a live chat with us if you can not find what you are looking for. We are here to help.

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.
