Production Procedure
This generally takes place in the following order:
Payment
We require a 50% deposit before commencement of production, with the balance payable upon delivery.
Work does not commence until the deposit is paid, and we do not release goods until final payment has been received.
Design Visuals
We are happy to provide colour visuals of your design free of charge to assist you in making your final
commitment on the understanding that there is a genuine intention to proceed.
However in the event that the design process becomes protracted, we reserve the right to charge for the service.
Production Time
Production time for custom made garments ranges from six to eight weeks on average, although this can be longer between January and June. Brand name garments can usually be supplied within in a few days, although screen printing and embroidery may prolong this to a few weeks in some cases.
If you have a shorter deadline than this we will always endeavour to meet it, although we do not promise a delivery date that we cannot meet.
Note - production does not commence until the required deposit is paid into our bank account.
Sample Garments
Sample garments are available for sizing and to allow the client to assess the style and quality of our work before ordering, on the proviso that they are returned to us afterwards.
Any garments not returned will be charged for.

The Process
Sublimation is a printing transfer process which uses heat sensitive sublimation inks to permanently dye synthetic fabrics.
The process, which is called "Dye Sublimation", involves the use of a special heat sensitive dye to print your design onto paper. The printed paper is then placed with the synthetic fabric into a heat press and pressed for a pre determined period.
The sublimation cycle transfers the design from the paper to the fabric. Sublimation is always done on synthetic materials and at high temperatures..
What does this mean for your printed garments?
As the sublimation process actually dyes the garment, the colour is "in" the fabric and not on top, as is the case with traditional screen printing methods.. This gives a much better feel to the garment, as well as colour fastness and the ability to print unlimited colours.
Sublimation printing also enables the production of "all over prints" which allows your design to extend across the whole garment.
Sports that routinely use sublimated clothing include Australian Rules Football, Cycling, Cricket, Netball, Hockey, Touch, Lacrosse, Rugby and Soccer.
Advantages
Definition of "Design Colours"
As only white fabrics are suitable for sublimation printing, any "white" that you see in a sublimated design will actually be unprinted fabric, thereby making white a "free" colour.
Consequently, a "One Colour Design" refers to one colour other than white. Thus club colours of say Red and White will actually be a one colour design for sublimation printing purposes. Similarly, Red, Blue and White will be a “Two Colour Design” and Red, Blue, Green and White will be a “Three Colour Design”.
