How we print your Strip Tees gear
At Strip Tees, we keep things simple. Every item you buy is made to order, which means it’s printed especially for you rather than pulled from a warehouse shelf. It’s a more sustainable way to create football gear and helps us keep quality high while avoiding unnecessary waste.
How we print
Most Australian orders are printed locally in Brisbane and Melbourne. Our printers use high-quality equipment, including:
- Direct-to-garment (DTG) printing for apparel
- Eco-friendly, water-based inks
- Sublimation for mugs
- Embroidery for hats and beanies
We also work with a global network of printing partners. This means overseas customers usually have their gear produced closer to home. For example, if you’re based in Texas, your order will typically be printed in the USA. If you live in the UK or Europe, we’ll use a local provider there.
Printing products closer to where you live helps reduce delivery times, lower shipping costs and cut down the environmental impact of long-distance transport.
Some items can only be produced overseas for all customers. Every product page clearly states where that specific item is printed.
Why we use print on demand
Print on demand helps us stay flexible, fair and environmentally responsible. It means:
- No piles of unused stock
- No waste from overproduction
- No warehouse costs
- More space for niche and limited designs
- Fresh products made individually for each customer
Most importantly, it allows us to create football gear we’re proud of while keeping things simple for you.
Frequently asked questions
What is print on demand?
Print on demand means your item is only made after you buy it. This avoids unnecessary waste and ensures every product is printed fresh.
Where are Strip Tees products printed?
Most Australian orders are printed in Brisbane and Melbourne.
Customers outside Australia usually have their orders printed closer to home using one of our trusted global partners.
How do I know if my product is printed in Australia?
Each product page tells you exactly where that specific item is printed. If it says “printed in Australia”, it will be made locally. If not, it may be printed overseas.
Why do you use printers around the world?
Working with printers in different regions helps reduce delivery times and lowers the carbon footprint from international shipping. It also ensures customers outside Australia receive the same quality prints without long waits.
What printing methods do you use?
- DTG printing for clothing
- Eco-friendly inks
- Sublimation for mugs
- Embroidery for hats and beanies
These methods are reliable, durable and produce vibrant results.
Why does print on demand take slightly longer?
Your order is made from scratch. That means it goes into production after you purchase it. Even with this process, production times are still quick — especially when printed close to home.
