Today, printing your own custom designs onto t-shirts or other apparel, such as tote bags and small accessories, is much easier than in the past. There are hundreds, both locally and internationally. Printing your own T-shirts is not only creatively rewarding but also lucrative, thanks to the growth of drop shipping.
With so many printing companies, it’s hard to find one that offers quality garments and adheres to ethical business practices. The Print Bar in Australia is a company that meets this description. The Print Bar offers a wide range of printing services, both in small quantities and bulk.
What is the Print Bar?
The Print Bar provides t-shirts, accessories and a range of other garments. It offers same day delivery and printing across Australia. Also, they offer pickup from Melbourne/Naarm or Brisbane/Meanjin.
The Print Bar began modestly in suburban Brisbane, in 2011. Ten years later in 2021, it opened a second location in Melbourne. The company takes pride in its sustainable practices. It offers high definition printing with sustainable water based aqueous inks and 100% recyclable kraft mailing bags.

How do same day tee shirt printing works?
Order before 11am any day of the week and you will receive your T-shirts, Tanks or Totes by 4:30pm. Prints will be delivered via Australia Post express shipping. However, you also have the option for standard shipping if you’re not in too much of a rush.

The Print Bar delivers to where?
Australia Post is used by The Print Bar for shipping and express delivery. You shouldn’t have any trouble receiving your prints as long as you live within our golden shores. However, if you want a quick turnover you’ll have better success with express shipping within a metropolitan area.
Additionally, if you are within Brisbane or Melbourne, you can pick up your order as soon as it’s ready from The Print Bar’s in-store locations.
How can I print my own design?
Once you’ve selected a garment on their website, The Print Bar will then direct you to the ‘Online Designer’, and in just a few clicks you can upload your own images, add custom text, or choose artwork from its in-built design gallery.
