What Garment Printing Group does

Garment Printing Group (legal entity Custom Brands Pty Ltd) is a Sydney-based custom garment printing company founded in 2007 and headquartered in Castle Hill, NSW. It operates a direct-to-consumer e-commerce platform (garmentprinting.com.au) complemented by phone, email, and in-person pickup ordering, serving a hybrid customer base that includes Australian businesses (corporate uniforms, workwear, sports teams, events, healthcare, hospitality, education) and individual consumers (influencers, musicians, personal projects). The company deploys eight decoration methods in-house — screen printing, direct-to-garment (DTG), direct-to-film (DTF), embroidery, dye sublimation, vinyl heat transfers, laser transfers, and puff printing — supported by a browser-based online design studio with 10,000+ stock designs and a no-minimum-order policy for DTG and vinyl transfers.

The product portfolio spans 1,690+ live SKUs across t-shirts, hoodies, polos, jackets, sweatshirts, dri-fit shirts, workwear, hi-vis safety apparel, sportswear, activewear, corporate wear, hospitality, healthcare, headwear, pants/shorts, tote bags, and promotional items, sourced from leading blank apparel brands including AS Colour, Biz Collection, JB's Wear, Gildan, Syzmik, DNC, Portwest, and American Apparel. Production uses Oeko-Tex certified eco-friendly water-based inks, and the company offers tiered volume discounts of 5-20% at 5-100+ units, free standard shipping over A$100 across Australia, same-day/overnight to standard 7-10 day turnaround, international shipping (10-20 days), and a dropshipping/affiliate program for resellers. The company also publishes a content blog and runs organic social on Facebook and Instagram.

The business model is unit-priced, pay-as-you-go custom apparel manufacturing with volume incentives, no subscription or recurring revenue, no disclosed enterprise contracts, and no disclosed funding or M&A activity. Revenue is not publicly disclosed. The company reports 51-100 employees, 37+ visible staff on its website, 53,000+ customers served, 5,000+ businesses, and 500,000+ t-shirts printed over its operating history. It is a private, bootstrapped Australian small-to-medium enterprise operating exclusively as a custom garment decorator without an underlying software platform or technology licensing component.
