Custom Sportswear do not rely on anyone else for any part of the manufacturing process, so we have total control over all facets. We also have a back up for each part of the process for use in emergency order’s, increased work load or for when that unexpected happens.

Service – Custom Sportswear understands all to well what type of relationship must be upheld between licensee and licensor to maintain a successful licence contract. All Custom Sportswear employees are rationale and approachable people highly trained in the area of sublimation and sportswear manufacture.

Local Experience – Custom Sportswear are sublimation specialists with over 25 years joint experience within the sportswear and printing industry. Custom Sportswear are one of only a few companies in Australia that can produce all facets of a sublimated garment from start to finish in house.

Off Shore Experience – Custom Sportswear's huge strength is our ability to manufacture off shore within our own factory. Employing 30 to 40 people.

Majority of deliveries from overseas are sent air freight – 3 days.

·Factory Equipment – When setting up Custom Sportswear, we knew through experience within the garment industry anything can happen and usually does. For this reason we have put in place a back up for every conceivable problem and machine.

Within our local factory we have all the machinery and personnel required to do all processes required for sublimation and logo application. These machines and the personnel to run them is mirrored two fold within our Offshore factory.

We consider this so important, we often have idle machines in either factory for the purpose of emergency only.

Local Suppliers – On occasion we can use local suppliers for such garments as pique polo shirts and cotton tee shirts. Local suppliers are useful when a club requires a minimum quantity of garments on a regular basis.

Embroidery and Tee shirt printing – we often use a local company for our small run embroidery and t-shirt printing, allowing us time to concentrate on our niche – sublimated sportswear and apparel.

Sub Contractors – Custom Sportswear has based the whole factory and setup of the business with the idea in mind that the fewer the sub contactors the better. This is so that we can always be in total control of all orders relying on no one.

One area that we need to use sub contractors is if a team or association requires an Australian made product. Due to the financial burden of having trained sewers employed and not busy, we have reached an agreement with a local sewer.

What is Sublimation Printing
Is the process in which we create an all over design on a garment. It is a transfer method where we screen print or digital print posters to carry your garments design. We then through a heat press process, transfer the image from poster to fabric. The ink on the poster turns to gas when under extreme temperature, the gas penetrates the fabric fibre’s thus dyeing the fabric, because the colour is now within the fabric and not just on top. It does not fade, peel or crack.
