If you're in the Centenary suburbs, we're not a courier drop-off or a website you have to trust blind. We're down the road. Our showroom sits in the Sumner Park industrial area, just off the Centenary Motorway, so for most of the suburbs on this page it's a quick local run.
That changes how ordering works. You can come in, hold a polo in your hand, compare a few thread colours against your logo and walk out knowing exactly what you're getting.
Why a walk-in showroom matters for embroidery
Screens lie about colour. A navy on your monitor can come out almost black on a polo, and a "bright" orange might sit a bit flat on cotton drill. Seeing it in person sorts that out in about thirty seconds.
Here's what people usually drop into the Sumner showroom for:
- Feeling fabrics before choosing between cotton, poly-cotton and performance polos
- Checking sizes on sample garments, so you're not guessing for the whole team
- Matching thread and print colours to your existing branding
- Signing off a sample before we run a bigger order
- Collecting finished orders on the way home, Monday to Friday, 9 am to 5 pm
Production itself happens in our own workshop in Redbank, which isn't open to the public. The showroom is where you deal with us face to face.
Embroidery for Centenary businesses, schools and clubs
The Centenary suburbs are a mix of established family streets, small local shopping centres and the trade-heavy industrial pocket around Sumner Park. That means we see a bit of everything: a Jindalee physio wanting embroidered polos, a Seventeen Mile Rocks fabrication shop after heavy drill shirts, a Middle Park dance school needing hoodies with names on the back.
Embroidery is our main game. We digitise your logo in-house, keep the file, and stitch it onto polos, business shirts, caps, jackets, beanies, bags and towels. There's no minimum, so a single shirt for a new starter is fine. More on the process on our embroidery services page.
Brands we supply
We stock Hard Yakka, King Gee, Syzmik, Biz Collection, Biz Corporates, AS Colour, NNT, Ramo, Legend Life, Winning Spirit and TradeMutt. If you're torn between two brands, ask us to line up samples so you can compare them in person rather than from two catalogues.

T-shirt printing, screen printing and DTF
Not everything needs stitching. For event tees, school fun-run shirts or big back prints, printing makes more sense and usually costs less per shirt.
- Screen printing suits larger runs with a few solid colours
- DTF printing handles full-colour artwork and small quantities well
- Mixed jobs are common, like an embroidered chest logo with a printed back
Not sure which method fits? Bring the artwork in and we'll talk it through, or see our custom t-shirts options.
Workwear and hi-vis around Sumner Park and Oxley
Sumner Park, Seventeen Mile Rocks and the Oxley side of Oxley Creek have plenty of trades, workshops and small manufacturers. For crews like that, the showroom is handy because they can call in during a quiet hour instead of waiting on a rep.
We supply and brand hi-vis shirts, drill pants, jackets and polos, with your logo embroidered or printed where it'll hold up to daily wear and washing. Have a look at our tradie workwear range if you want an idea of what's available.
Sublimated kit for local clubs
Sublimation is the third string to our bow. The design is dyed into polyester fabric with heat, so it's part of the garment rather than sitting on top. That's why it's the go-to for footy, soccer, netball and cricket clubs across the Centenary suburbs and along the Graceville and Chelmer riverside.
Names and numbers for every player cost nothing extra, because each garment is printed individually anyway. On stock polyester garments there's no real minimum. Full cut-and-sew kit does have a minimum quantity and a longer lead time, so talk to us early in the off-season.

You're welcome to bring a committee member or two to the showroom to look at fabric weights before you commit. The sublimation page has more detail.
