Custom Branded High Visibility Workwear
Be seen and be remembered in your custom workwear with workwear custom printing. Whether you are a trades company that serves residential customers or you work in a larger environment serving businesses it always pays to have a professional look for you and your staff with your own custom branded, quality, hard wearing clothing.
Many trades, industries or certain projects will require safety rated hi viz (high visibility) apparel to be worn on sites. We have a huge range available to order, from basic bright day visibility vests to fully traffic rated, night rated, TTMS rated and fire rated apparel all of which can be custom branded so your business can look its best while adhering to safety standards.

We can supply workwear clothing and hi viz apparel from the best manufacturers available in NZ, offering quality hi vis printing. From plain t-shirts, polo and singlets to heavy-weight garments such as overalls, hoodies, jackets and vests. All of these options are also available in high visibility options from your standard day rated, night rated, TTMS, waterproof and fireproof garments, should you need them. Our suppliers include AS Colour, JBs Wear, Syzmik, Hard Yakka, King Gee, Stoney Creek, Safe-t-tec, Caution, Gildan, Result WorkGuard, Styx Mill and more. Let us know your requirements and we can show you some options that suit your needs and budget.
Fast turnaround
With our premises in both Auckland and Thames and our strong network of suppliers, we have a bigger capacity than most others to ensure a quick turnaround on your orders. In a no rush situation we normally work to a 1-2 week turnaround time, in most cases being able to print and deliver within a week. If you have a tight deadline or need things for a certain date, we will do our best to accommodate that and will always be able to let you know before ordering if this is possible.
Low Minimums
We work to a minimum of 10 of the same print or embroidery - that means as long at the print stays the same on all garments, you can mix and match those. We do have price breaks for both your garments and your branding decoration at 20, 50, 100, 250 and 500 as well, meaning the more you order of the same print or total number of garments, the less you pay per unit.
Workwear solutions for your budget
For most workwear garment types, we have workwear printing options to suit your budget, big or small. We're able to work with you to recommend the best products available that suit your needs and your wallet.
Full range of branding solutions
We have the capability within our network to use a number of different branding applications, from our preferred and most hardwearing options of workwear screen printing and embroidery to digital applications such as DTG (direct to garment) and high-quality digital transfers. Depending on the intended life and use of the garment, your logo/branding, the quantity, and your budget, we will always recommend the best option.
