Sunnybank runs on food, retail and appointments. Mains Road and the streets around Sunnybank Plaza and Market Square are packed with restaurants, bubble tea shops, bakeries, grocers and dental and medical practices, and most of them have staff who need to look like one team.
That's the work we do every week. We embroider logos onto polos, aprons, chef jackets and caps, print tees for launches and events, and supply full uniform ranges for clinics and offices. It's all made in-house at our Redbank workshop, and you can collect from our showroom at 10/11 Forge Close, Sumner.
Custom embroidery for Sunnybank's food and retail precincts
Kitchens and shop floors are hard on uniforms. Aprons get washed every day, polos get splashed, and a printed logo on a cheap shirt starts to look tired after a few months. Embroidery holds up far better because the logo is stitched in, not sitting on top.
We digitise your logo in-house, which means turning the artwork into a stitch file the machine can follow. That file stays on record, so when you hire two new staff in six months their polos match the ones you ordered today.
- Aprons and chef jackets with a clean chest logo for restaurants and cafes
- Polos and button-up shirts for front-of-house, retail and reception
- Caps and visors for kitchen and counter staff
- Bilingual logos with Chinese, Korean or Vietnamese characters, digitised so fine strokes stay sharp
Small lettering needs care. If your logo has fine characters or thin lines, we'll tell you the smallest size it will stitch cleanly at before anything goes on a garment. More on the method is on our embroidery services page.
T-shirt printing, screen printing and DTF
Not every job suits thread. A grand opening, a night-market stall, a charity walk or a promo giveaway usually wants a big, bright print on a tee, and that's where printing earns its place.
- Screen printing is the best value for larger runs with a few solid colours.
- DTF printing handles full-colour logos, photos and gradients, and it's great for short runs because there are no screens to set up.
- Embroidery plus print works well together: stitched logo on the chest, a large printed design on the back.
Have a look at custom t-shirts for garment options, or just send the artwork and we'll suggest the right method.
Uniforms for clinics, offices and schools
Sunnybank Hills and Eight Mile Plains have a lot of professional practices: dentists, physios, GPs, accountants, migration and real estate offices. The business parks around Eight Mile Plains add IT and corporate teams to the mix.
For those workplaces we supply embroidered scrubs, smart polos, corporate shirts and soft-shell jackets from brands like Biz Collection, Biz Corporates and Syzmik. We can build a small range so staff can mix and match without the look falling apart. See custom uniforms for what's available, or hospitality uniforms if you're kitting out a restaurant or cafe.
Trades haven't been forgotten either. Runcorn and Kuraby have plenty of electricians, plumbers and small builders, and we brand hi-vis and workwear from Hard Yakka, King Gee and TradeMutt for them.

Sublimated kit for southside clubs and schools
Sublimation dyes the design into polyester with heat, so the colour runs edge to edge and never cracks. Around Sunnybank it mostly goes into basketball, badminton, table tennis, soccer and school sport.
The detail clubs like: every player's name and number costs nothing extra, because each garment is printed on its own anyway.
- Basketball singlets and shorts numbered per player
- Badminton and table tennis shirts in light, breathable polyester
- School carnival and house shirts
- Event and fun-run tees in full colour
There's no real minimum on stock polyester garments. Full cut-and-sew kit has a minimum and needs more lead time, so tell us your season start date early. Details are on the sublimation page.
