Wholesale Promotional Products Australia | Sense2

Sense2 has been quoting wholesale runs for Australian agencies, brand teams, councils and universities for 30+ years, with 17,503 products in the catalogue and thousands of 5-star Google reviews. The part we enjoy most is watching creativity hold its shape across 5,000 units — the right tagline, the right colour story, still beautifully finished at the tenth pallet.

Best for

• National campaign rollouts — Split-ship across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide and Canberra from one PO. We kit by store, state or region and run timed-release dispatch so stock lands the week each market activates.
• Conference and expo delegate packs — Bulk conference bags, lanyards, notebooks and reusable drink bottles kitted into delegate packs — price drops meaningfully between 1,000 and 2,500 units, which is where most national conferences sit.
• Staff onboarding and culture kits at scale — For 500+ new hires a year, lock a core kit (rPET tote, engraved metal pen, notebook, drink bottle) on a standing PO. Brand codes held in our studio, reorders branded in 1-4 business days.
• Retail gift-with-purchase and brand activations — Bulk tote bags, cosmetic bags and drinkware for GWP mechanics — canvas in 280-340gsm, full-colour sublimation on rPET, beautifully finished so sell-through keeps working across the season.
• Government and public-sector rollouts — Compliant sourcing, Sedex-registered supply (ZS1000018917), NSW Government Supplier Directory profile, and procurement-ready documentation. The part we enjoy most on these briefs is making compliance feel elegant, not bureaucratic.

Frequently asked

What's the minimum order for wholesale promotional products? Our wholesale tier typically opens at 250-500 units, with meaningful stepped discounts at 500, 1,000, 2,500, 5,000 and 10,000+. Some eco and premium ranges have higher entry points; many core lines have no MOQ and bulk rollouts for national campaigns. Ask for a stepped quote across four tiers so your finance team can see the marginal unit economics.

How long do wholesale runs take to produce and deliver in Australia? Standard bulk lead time is 10-20 business days from artwork approval, depending on product and branding method. Many core lines are branded in 1-4 business days for creative rush pieces inside the larger run. We split-ship Australia-wide to Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Hobart and Canberra, with timed-release dispatch on launch windows.

What branding methods work best at wholesale volume? Screen print (1-6 colour) is the most economical for bulk runs. Embroidery and laser engraving become cost-effective above 2,500 units and lift perceived value — they never fade. Full-colour digital and edge-to-edge sublimation carry campaign artwork faithfully across bulk. Setup is AU$40-$85 per colour, once-off, and disappears into the unit at wholesale tier.

Can you hold standing stock for reorders and rollouts? Yes. We hold standing stock in our Sydney warehouse on wholesale arrangements, decorate on call, and release by state, store or region. This is how our people & culture, retail and member-organisation clients run 12-month rollouts on one PO. Kitting, multi-site drops and timed-release dispatch are included — no extra handling.

Do you offer eco-friendly wholesale ranges with certifications? Yes. Our eco wholesale range includes FSC paper, rPET, bamboo, PFAS-free drinkware, recycled packaging, organic cotton and recycled non-woven. GOTS, FSC and OEKO-TEX certifications are available on request. Sense2 is Sedex-registered (ZS1000018917), which procurement and public-sector teams ask for on compliance reviews.

Can we see samples before committing to a wholesale order? Always. Free samples ship Australia-wide within 48 hours from our Sydney warehouse. On runs above 2,500 units we also produce pre-production samples with your actual artwork, colour-matched to your brand codes, before any pallet ships. After 30 years of wholesale briefs, we know the weight, stitch and print register are what people decide on — never the spec sheet alone.
