Custom Apparel & Branded Clothing Australia | Sense2

Custom apparel is where a brand becomes wearable — the polo that reads as uniform on Monday and team kit on Friday, the hoodie that lives in someone's weekend wardrobe for years, the retail tee that photographs beautifully on launch day. Sense2 has been briefing branded clothing and wearable merchandise for Australian agencies, brand teams, councils and universities for 30+ years, with thousands of 5-star Google reviews for bringing design-led thinking to every uniform, polo, jacket and T-shirt brief.

Best for

• 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.

What clients say

"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." — Zara, People Experience Lead

"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." — Lara, Head of Marketing

"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." — Camille, Creative Director

Frequently asked

What's the minimum order for custom apparel and branded clothing? Decorated apparel typically starts at 25-50 units per style and colour. Lower quantities are possible on stocked blanks with heat transfer vinyl or DTG print. 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.

What branding and printing methods do you offer on apparel? Embroidery (tone-on-tone or contrast thread), screen print (1-6 colour), DTG for full-colour photographic artwork on short runs, heat transfer vinyl for names and numbers, edge-to-edge sublimation on rPET polyester, and finishing details like woven labels, debossed leather patches and custom swing tags. Setup is AU$40-$85 per colour for screen print; AU$55-$85 one-time digitising for embroidery.

Can I see a sample of apparel before I order? Yes. Free samples ship Australia-wide, dispatched within 48 hours. For uniform rollouts we recommend ordering a size-run kit so the team can try fits before you commit — fits vary meaningfully between brands. 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.

What sustainable and eco-friendly apparel options do you offer? Our sustainable apparel range includes GOTS-certified organic cotton tees and polos, rPET fleece and sublimated tees made from recycled bottles, bamboo-cotton blends and OEKO-TEX tested dyes. Finishing details include FSC swing tags, recycled polybags and paper-based hang tags. Certification documentation is available on request.
