How It Works

From idea to custom merch in 4 simple steps.

Your merch project shouldn’t feel complicated. Our end-to-end process makes it easy to go from concept to delivery with expert support at every step.

1. Tell us what you need

Whether you're creating custom apparel, branded merchandise, custom workwear, or uniforms for your next event, it all starts with a quick chat. Share your idea, goals, quantities and any artwork or references. From there, our team works with you to refine the brief and recommend the most effective merch solutions for your brand.

When sending your artwork:

  • Create outlines for all your fonts in the artwork and the images are embedded within the file.
  • Files need to be at minimum 300 DPI at actual print size.
  • Save your artwork in one of the following formats; AI, PSD, Illustrator PDF, EPS, or hi-res JPEG or PNG files.

2. We choose the best print method

Once we understand your project, our production team selects the ideal decoration method to ensure the best quality and the best value for your job. Because everything is done 100% in-house, we tailor the process based on your artwork, garments, colours and turnaround requirements.

3. Approve your proof

Before anything goes into production, you’ll receive a clear, accurate digital proof showing placements, colours and sizing, so everyone is on the same page. Nothing gets printed until you sign off, giving you total control and peace of mind.

4 We print and deliver

Once approved, our team gets to work. Your merch is printed, decorated, packed and shipped from our Melbourne production facility, fast. With high-volume capacity and strict quality control, we deliver consistent, retail-ready results at scale.

Yes. Orders using your own garments need at least 50 garments to be decorated, and the minimum for your decoration method also applies. Where that’s higher, the higher number applies. Please also:

  • send at least 3% extra garments as spares (minimum 2), in case of production faults
  • deliver garments unpacked, folded and grouped by size, with stickers and swing tags removed
  • include a full size breakdown and packing list
  • tell us the fabric composition and any special treatments

Garments that arrive packed or unsorted incur an unpacking fee of $0.10 per garment. For a brand or style we haven’t printed before, we may ask for a sample first. See clause 5.

Vector files (AI, EPS or PDF) give the best result. We also accept high-resolution PNG or JPG files at a minimum of 300 dpi at print size. Low-resolution artwork can produce a poor print. See clause 6.1.

We don’t create original designs from scratch. We can help get your artwork ready for production, including resizing and minor adjustments. This is charged as a design service at $65 per hour, minimum 1 hour. See clause 6.5.

Two rounds of revisions to your digital proof are included. Further rounds are $65 each. Production starts once you approve the proof, so please check spelling, colours, sizes and placement carefully. See clause 6.2 and 6.3.
