These discounts make bulk orders for teams, events, or businesses even more affordable while maintaining our high-quality DTF printing standards.
What Affects Custom T-Shirt Printing Costs?
Several factors influence the final price of your custom t-shirts:

Single-side printing (front or back only) costs less
Double-side printing adds to the cost due to additional materials and labour

Simple text or logo designs are straightforward
Multi-colour, detailed designs require more printing precision
Full-colour photo prints are handled beautifully with our DTF technology

We work with trusted Australian suppliers including:
Aussie Pacific (our most-used supplier - Adelaide-based for next-day delivery)
JB's Wear
Ramo
AS Colour
Biz Collection
Syzmik
Different brands and fabric qualities affect the base cost of the blank shirt.

Supporting Local: Why Victor Harbor Businesses Choose Plus Printing
It all begins with an idea.
When it comes to custom printing services, Victor Harbor businesses have plenty of options—from large online suppliers to Adelaide-based print shops. Yet more and more local businesses, event organisers, and community groups are choosing to work with Plus Printing right here in Victor Harbor. But why?
The Power of Local Partnership
Supporting local isn't just a feel-good slogan—it's a smart business decision that creates real value for Victor Harbor businesses. When you choose a local printing partner like Plus Printing, you're investing in more than just products; you're building a relationship that strengthens our entire community.
Face-to-Face Service That Makes a Difference
Located at 29 Albert Place in Victor Harbor, Plus Printing offers something that online suppliers simply can't match: personal, direct service. Need to discuss a design idea? Pop in and talk it through. Have a rush order for an event this weekend? We can accommodate same-day and walk-in requests that would be impossible with distant suppliers.
This personalised approach means:
Quick problem-solving when design challenges arise
Immediate feedback on product options and customisation possibilities
Real conversations with people who understand your business and community needs
No Minimum Orders: Freedom for Small Businesses
One of the biggest reasons Victor Harbor businesses choose Plus Printing is our no minimum order policy. Whether you need one custom mug for a special client gift or 50 branded hoodies for your team, we treat every order with the same care and attention.
This flexibility is particularly valuable for:
New businesses testing branded merchandise without major upfront investment
Small teams who don't need bulk quantities
Event organisers creating limited-edition items for specific occasions
Individuals wanting personalised gifts or one-off custom items
Large suppliers often require minimum orders of 50, 100, or more items—quantities that simply don't make sense for many local businesses. At Plus Printing, we believe every business deserves access to quality custom printing, regardless of order size.
Fast Turnaround Times You Can Count On
When you're working with a local printer, logistics become dramatically simpler. Plus Printing offers:
Same-day service on items like mugs and tin signs (when ordered early)
Next-day turnaround on many apparel items when in stock
Realistic timelines of up to 14 days when items need to be ordered from our suppliers
Compare this to online suppliers where shipping alone can take a week or more, and you'll understand why Victor Harbor businesses value the speed and reliability of local service.
Rush Orders and Last-Minute Needs
Life happens, and sometimes you need custom printing now. Whether it's a forgotten corporate gift, last-minute event merchandise, or urgent workwear replacement, Plus Printing's ability to handle rush orders has saved the day for countless local businesses.
Supporting the Victor Harbor Community
When you choose Plus Printing, your money stays in the local economy. We're not just a printing shop—we're your neighbours, active participants in the Victor Harbor community who understand what makes this region special.

Working with local event organisers for dance events, plays, and art shows
Supporting construction businesses and new ventures with custom workwear
Creating promotional items for community groups and local initiatives
Partnering with businesses across the Fleurieu Peninsula
Every dollar spent locally generates approximately three times more economic benefit for the community than money spent with distant suppliers. That's real impact.
