Best for
Choose apparel & clothing if your moment is staff uniforms and workwear rollouts, conference and event crew or retail apparel and merch drops.
Staff uniforms and workwear rollouts
Pick fabric by the working day before you pick the colour. Cotton-poly piqué polos for client-facing teams, ripstop and high-vis for field crews, softshell jackets for winter site visits. Embroidery on the chest reads as uniform; a back-of-neck woven label reads as considered.
Conference and event crew
Branded T-shirts or polos with contrast sleeves make your crew visible on the floor without shouting. Sublimated rPET tees photograph beautifully under stage lights and wash without fade through a full event season.
Retail apparel and merch drops
Heavyweight cotton tees (220gsm+), oversized fits and a debossed leather patch or woven hem label turn merch into product. DTG handles full-colour artwork on small runs; screen print scales cleanly from 250 units.
Onboarding and culture kits
A considered hoodie or zip-jacket is the piece new starters photograph on day one. Tone-on-tone embroidery, a folded presentation with a handwritten note — the opening moment matters.
Sports, clubs and community teams
Sublimated jerseys, training tees and caps with a clean front logo. We spec by fabric weight, gusset and stitch density so the kit survives a full season.
“Our onboarding hoodies arrived folded and tissue-wrapped, and three new starters posted them on LinkedIn the same week. The tone-on-tone embroidery was exactly the quiet finish we wanted — considered, not shouty.”
“We've reordered our conference polos with Sense2 every year for six years. They remember our brand codes beautifully, always suggest a fresh fabric story for the season, and the fit across our team of 80 is genuinely inclusive. Delivery lands early, every time.”
“The Sense2 team understood our retail drop in one call — 220gsm tee, oversized fit, woven hem label, folded in branded tissue. It looked like product, not promo, and sold through in ten days.”

How to choose
Start with the wear occasion, because fabric decides everything else. A polo that lives on a retail floor eight hours a day needs a cotton-poly piqué around 200-220gsm — breathable, crease-resistant, washes clean. A weekend hoodie for a founder gift wants brushed-back fleece at 320gsm+ in combed or organic cotton — the hand-feel is what people notice when they unbox it. Retail tees live or die on fabric weight: 180gsm reads as promo, 220gsm reads as product, 240gsm reads as premium. Branding method is the second decision, and it's where the creative brief earns its keep. Embroidery is the most considered finish on polos, caps, jackets and workwear — tone-on-tone thread on a dark fleece reads as quiet luxury, a contrast thread reads as team kit. Screen print is the cleanest way to carry a bold logo on cotton tees and suits runs from 50 upward. DTG (direct-to-garment) is how we handle full-colour, photographic or illustrated artwork on short runs without setup. Sublimation is for full-garment pattern work on rPET polyester — edge-to-edge, no cracking, no fade. Heat transfer vinyl handles names, numbers and small-run personalisation. Woven labels and debossed leather patches are the details that turn a tee into product. Sizing is where uniform rollouts live or die. Always order a size-run sample kit before committing to the full spec — fits vary meaningfully between brands, and the difference between a Euro-cut polo and an Australian-cut polo shows up on the floor. We carry inclusive sizing across most core lines (XS-5XL), dedicated women's fits on polos and tees, and youth sizes on T-shirts and hoodies for family and community briefs. On MOQ: decorated apparel typically starts at 25-50 per style and colour. Lower quantities are possible on stocked blanks with heat transfer or DTG. At 250+ per style, screen print and embroidery setup costs amortise and per-unit pricing drops 20-35%. Ask for a stepped quote across 50, 100, 250 and 500 — the right tier is usually clearer than it looks at brief stage. For sustainability-led briefs, we route to GOTS-certified organic cotton, rPET fleece made from recycled bottles, bamboo-cotton blends and OEKO-TEX tested dyes. FSC swing tags, recycled polybags and paper-based hang tags finish the story. Sustainability, done credibly — that's the standard we hold ourselves to. Finally, always see the sample. Free, Australia-wide, 48 hours from request. The brand team holds the weight, rubs the hand-feel, checks the stitch density — and the decision makes itself.
Pricing guidance
Pricing rule of thumb at 50 units with a 1-position decoration: a cotton T-shirt with a 1-colour screen print sits around AU$14-$24, a piqué polo with chest embroidery AU$28-$48, a zip hoodie with embroidery AU$55-$95, and a softshell jacket AU$85-$165. Heavyweight retail tees (220gsm+) with DTG print run AU$28-$45. Sublimated rPET tees run AU$32-$58. At 250+ units those drop 20-35%. Screen print setup is AU$40-$85 per colour, once-off. Embroidery digitising is a one-time AU$55-$85 per logo. Woven labels add AU$1.20-$3 per unit with a one-time label setup.

At 250+ units per style, setup costs amortise and per-unit pricing drops 20-35%. Ask for a stepped quote across 50, 100, 250 and 500 — the right tier is usually clearer than it looks at brief stage.
How long does custom apparel take to produce and deliver in Australia?▾
Standard lead time is 10-15 business days from artwork and size-breakdown approval. Many core lines — cotton tees, piqué polos, zip hoodies — can be branded in 3-5 business days express for late briefs. Sublimated rPET and full-cut-and-sew garments run 4-6 weeks. Delivery is Australia-wide: Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Hobart and Canberra.

Can I see a sample of apparel before I order?▾
Yes. Free samples ship Australia-wide, dispatched within 48 hours.

Pre-production samples with your actual artwork and decoration are available on larger runs.
Do you offer inclusive and plus sizes on branded clothing?▾
Yes. Most core lines run XS-5XL, with dedicated women's fits on polos, tees and softshells, and youth sizes on T-shirts and hoodies for family, community and education briefs. We'll flag size-curve coverage on every quote so nothing is left out of a team rollout.
