All clothing comes to our warehouse to check quality and correct sizing before decoration.

We do another inspection before dispatch to check the quality of the decoration.

All orders are QC’d in our own warehouse prior to dispatch. If there are any problems with quality of the decoration or the product, we replace or fix it before sending the finished job to our client therefore our clients can always be assured that the item that they ordered is what they will receive.

Global sourcing

The best suppliers

We only quote on merchandise from suppliers that we have confidence in.

Our Director attends the China trade shows every year and has been to China more than 30 times.

We QC all indent jobs in China and then again when they arrive in Australia.

We work with many suppliers to ensure the market price is fair.

We do not use cheaper, inferior suppliers to win the job if we know that the finished job will not be good quality.

Small enough to care, big enough to get the job done.
