Brisbane's inner east runs on coffee, good food and small business. Oxford Street in Bulimba, the strips around Coorparoo and Camp Hill, and the pubs and restaurants of Kangaroo Point keep a lot of hospitality staff in uniform. Further out along Wynnum Road, Morningside and Cannon Hill mix homes with workshops and light industry.
We're on the other side of the river from you, at 10/11 Forge Close in Sumner. That's why most east-side customers choose delivery, and it works just as well: send us your logo, approve a proof, and your order arrives ready to wear.
Embroidery for cafes, restaurants and bars
Hospitality uniforms take a beating. Aprons get washed daily, shirts get splashed, and staff turnover means you're always ordering one or two more. Embroidery handles all of that better than most prints, and it looks sharp front of house.
- Embroidered aprons in bib and waist styles
- Polos and shirts for floor and bar staff
- Caps and beanies for kitchen and barista crews
- Printed tees for a more casual cafe look
Because there's no minimum, a new starter's shirt can be a one-off order. We keep your logo on file, so it matches what the rest of the team is wearing. Our hospitality uniforms page goes into garment choices in more detail.
Custom embroidery for offices, clinics and retail
Not everyone out east works in a kitchen. There are physios, dentists, real estate agents, gyms and boutique shops that want a smart, consistent look. An embroidered logo on a quality polo or business shirt does the job without fuss.
We digitise your logo in-house and work with brands like Biz Collection, Biz Corporates, Syzmik and AS Colour. Learn more on our embroidery services page.
Workwear and hi-vis for Cannon Hill and Morningside
The industrial pockets around Cannon Hill and Morningside are full of mechanics, fabricators, warehouses and service businesses. Those crews need gear that survives real work.
- Hi-vis shirts and jackets branded with your logo
- Drill pants and work shirts from Hard Yakka, King Gee and TradeMutt
- Embroidered or printed logos placed where they'll last
Take a look at the hi-vis workwear range for options.
T-shirt printing, screen printing and DTF
For events, markets, fun runs or merch, printing is often better value than embroidery. Screen printing is best for bigger runs in a few solid colours. DTF printing handles full-colour designs and small quantities without setup headaches.
A lot of east-side cafes and venues also order printed staff tees for events and weekend markets. We can mix and match: embroidery on the chest, print on the back.
Sublimated kit for schools and clubs
The inner east has plenty of schools and sporting clubs, from cricket and footy to netball and soccer. For full team kit, sublimation is usually the way to go. The design is dyed into the polyester with heat, so it won't crack, peel or fade after a season of washing.
Names and numbers for each player cost nothing extra. Stock polyester garments have no real minimum, which suits small squads. Full cut-and-sew kit needs a minimum quantity and more lead time, so start early. The sublimation page has the details.
