Orders and Minimum Quantities

Minimum order quantities depend on the print method. Direct to Film (DTF) printing starts from a minimum of 10 items. This is our main service and the method used for all orders placed through our online catalogue. Direct to Garment (DTG) printing, screen printing and embroidery each require a minimum of 50 items.

Can I order fewer than 10 items?

No. The minimum for DTF printing, which covers all online catalogue orders, is 10 items. For DTG printing, screen printing and embroidery, the minimum is 50 items. If you need a smaller quantity for a specific reason, please contact us directly to discuss your options.

READY2PRESS provides custom printing and decorating services for T shirts, apparel, workwear, uniforms, merchandise and promotional products.

Can I split my minimum across different sizes?

Yes. You can mix sizes to reach the minimum. For example, for a DTF order you could order 3 small, 4 medium and 3 large to reach the 10 item minimum. Each size counts toward the total.

Printing and Decoration Methods

What printing methods do you offer?

READY2PRESS can assist with DTF printing, DTG printing, screen printing, embroidery and other apparel decoration options depending on the garment, quantity, artwork and final result required.

Which print method is best for my job?

The best print method depends on your artwork, garment type, order quantity, budget and how the product will be used. We can recommend the most suitable option after reviewing your design and order details.

Do you offer embroidery?

Yes. Embroidery is available for suitable garments such as polos, jackets, caps, workwear and uniforms. Minimum order for embroidery is 50 items.

Do you offer screen printing?

Yes. Screen printing is available for suitable jobs, especially larger quantities and designs with limited colours. Screen printing usually involves setup costs, so it may not be the best choice for very small orders.

Do you offer DTF printing?

Yes. DTF printing is a flexible option for many apparel jobs because it works well on a wide range of garments and can produce vibrant colours with strong detail. Suitability depends on the garment, artwork and order requirements.

Products We Can Decorate

What products can you print or decorate?

We can help with custom T shirts, polos, hoodies, sweaters, jackets, workwear, uniforms, caps, bags, merchandise and selected promotional products. Product availability depends on supplier stock, decoration method and order quantity.

Do you supply the garments?

Yes. We can supply a wide range of blank apparel and workwear through our supplier network. This helps ensure the garments are suitable for printing or decoration.

Can I bring my own garments?

In some cases, yes. However, we need to inspect or approve the garments first. Not all fabrics and products are suitable for heat, embroidery or printing. Customer supplied garments are accepted only after confirmation.

Do you print workwear and uniforms?

Yes. READY2PRESS works with businesses, trades, hospitality teams, medical teams, corporate clients and organisations that need branded workwear and uniforms.

Do you create merchandise for events or brands?

Yes. We can help with custom apparel and merchandise for events, brands, creators, clubs, launches, promotions and business campaigns.

Artwork and Design

What artwork files do you need?

The best file type depends on the print method. In general, high resolution PNG, PDF, SVG, AI or EPS files are preferred. If you are unsure, send us what you have and we will check the file.

Can READY2PRESS help with artwork?

Yes. We can help check, prepare or improve artwork for production. If you only have a rough idea, we can also guide you on what is needed before printing.

Can you print my logo?

Yes. We can print or decorate your logo on suitable apparel, workwear, uniforms and promotional products. For the best result, we recommend supplying a high quality logo file.

What if my artwork is low quality?

Low quality artwork can affect the final print result. If your file is too small, blurry or not suitable for production, we will let you know and recommend the best way to fix it before printing.

Pricing and Print Locations

Is printing included in the garment price?

No. The garment price shown in our catalogue is the base cost of the blank garment only. Each print location you add costs an additional $5.00 per unit.

How does the $5 per print location work?

Every print location you select adds $5.00 per unit to the order. For example, if you add a front print and a back print to a T shirt, your unit price increases by $10.00.

How many print locations can I add?

Standard T shirts and crew necks support up to 2 print locations: front and back. Zip hoodies and other split-front garments support up to 3 print locations: left chest, right chest, and back. Each location costs $5.00 per unit.

What affects the garment price?

The garment price depends on the product type and the quantity ordered. Larger orders attract lower unit prices. Print charges are added on top at $5.00 per location, regardless of quantity.

How do I get a quote for a larger or custom order?

You can request a quote by sending us your artwork, product type, quantity, print locations and any other important details. The more information you provide, the more accurate the quote will be.

Production and Pickup

How long does production take?

Production time depends on the product, decoration method, order size, artwork approval and current workload. We will confirm the estimated production time when quoting your job.

Can I get an urgent order?

Urgent orders may be possible depending on the job, stock availability and production schedule. Please contact us as early as possible so we can check what can be done.

Can I pick up my order?

Yes. Pickup may be available by appointment from our Hornsby studio. Please wait for confirmation before visiting, as all pickups must be arranged in advance.
