Which branded clothing should I choose?
Start with who wears it and how often. Staff wear a garment every working day, so the logo is seen by customers all year. An event crowd wears a tee once or twice, so cost per piece matters more than fabric.
- Tees. The AS Colour Classic Tee is a 220 gsm, 100% combed cotton crew neck in sizes S to 5XL and more than 50 colours. Our custom printed t-shirts cover crew, V-neck and singlets, and the grid also lists youth and kids tees.
- Polos. The 210 Polo is a 210 gsm pique knit in 65% polyester and 35% cotton, in 19 colours. Browse branded polo shirts for men and women, including golf polos.
- Hoodies and jumpers. The AS Colour half zip hood is 320 gsm, 80% cotton and 20% recycled polyester. See custom hoodies and sweatshirts for cotton and polar fleece options.
- Jackets. The AS Colour Mens Coach Jacket is lightweight nylon with a snap front, and the grid also lists a custom varsity jacket. Branded jackets add a winter layer to a uniform.
- Shirts. Oxford and business shirts, such as the Allen and Acton ranges, sit in corporate shirts for front-of-house and office teams.
- Sport and active. Stormtech club jerseys and sublimated fishing shirts sit with activewear and gym wear, for clubs and teams that want a full-colour design.
Workwear buyers should look at workwear and safety, and hospitality clothing covers aprons and chef wear. For caps and beanies, see custom headwear.
What is the best way to put a logo on clothing?
The method depends on the garment, the logo and the quantity. The artwork team confirms the final method on your free digital proof.
| Method | Best for | Limits |
| Embroidery | Polos, jackets, workwear, caps | Fine detail and tiny text do not stitch well; digitising is a one-off setup |
| Screen print | Tees and hoodies in volume | Setup per colour; not suited to gradients |
| DTF or heat transfer | Full-colour logos, small runs, mixed fabrics | Feel and wash life differ from screen print |
| Sublimation | All-over prints on polyester sportswear | Polyester and light colours only |
For staff polos and jackets, embroidery is the usual choice. It lasts as long as the garment and reads as a uniform rather than a giveaway. For event tees in volume, screen print is the usual choice because the unit cost falls as the run grows. Sublimation dyes the ink into polyester fibres, so it does not crack or peel like a surface print.
Ordering custom clothing: minimums, proofs and timing
There is no minimum order on any product family. Each order has a one-off setup for the logo, so the price per item drops noticeably from around 10 units. Setup is calculated by method and number of positions and shown in the quote, and nothing is added after approval. Many garments show quantity pricing on the product page, and the quote confirms the branded price.
Every branded order gets a free digital proof showing the garment, colours, logo size, position and method. Nothing goes to production without your approval. Vector files (AI, EPS, SVG or vector PDF) are best, and the team can redraw a low-resolution logo.
Stocked garments are decorated in house at Annandale, and some orders can be ready the same day. Custom made garments, such as fully sublimated shirts, are made offshore. Light apparel usually arrives one to three weeks after artwork and sample approval by air, and jackets usually go by sea, up to about six weeks. A longer lead time gives a better unit price, and rush costs more. Christmas production slots fill from September, so book end-of-year apparel early.
You can mix colours, sizes, styles and print positions in one order, and the whole order counts toward volume pricing.
Who buys promotional clothing and why?
- Staff uniforms. A team in embroidered polos and jackets carries the brand into every customer interaction, every working day. Multi-site organisations that reorder uniforms can ask about an online store and uniform program through the enquiry form.
- Events and fundraisers. Screen printed tees in volume turn a crowd into a visible group, and charities can resell them to raise funds. Pair them with children's clothing for family days, and check the product page for suitability.
- Onboarding packs. A tee, hoodie and cap in a kitted welcome pack helps new starters feel part of the team from day one.
Hi-vis and PPE garments must meet the relevant AS/NZS standard for the job, and a large print over reflective tape can affect compliance. Tell us what the garment is for, and the team will confirm. See hi-vis and reflective clothing. Supply artwork only if you own it or have permission to use it.
