Supporting Local: Why Victor Harbor Businesses Choose Plus Printing

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.

No Minimum Order Printing: How It Works (and Why It Saves Small Businesses Money)

If you’ve ever tried to order uniforms, promo gear, or branded gifts for a small business, you’ve probably hit the same wall: minimum quantities.

At Plus Printing, we do no minimum order printing — which means you can order one item, a small top-up, or a mixed bundle without being forced into a big spend.

This post breaks down how it works, when it’s the best option, and how it can save you money (and headaches).

What “no minimum order” actually means

“No minimum order” means you can order:

• 1 item (a single tee, hoodie, mug, stubby cooler, etc.)

• Small batches (2–10 items for a team, family, or event)

• Top-ups (add one new staff shirt without re-ordering 20)

• Mixed products (for example: 3 polos + 2 hoodies + 5 caps)

You’re not locked into a supplier’s minimum run just to get your logo on something.

How no-minimum printing works (in plain English)

Traditional bulk printing often relies on set-ups that are only cost-effective when you order large quantities.

We use modern print methods that make short runs practical, including:

• DTF (Direct-to-Film) printing for apparel and many fabric items

• Sublimation for products like mugs, drink bottles, and other coated items

• UV DTF stickers for durable decals and branding applications

Because the set-up is streamlined, we can produce small runs without the “bulk-only” pricing structure.

Bonus: no-minimum laser engraving (ready to go)

We also offer laser engraving with no minimums, so you can personalise one item or do a small run for staff, gifts, or an event.

Laser engraving is ideal when you want a premium, long-lasting finish on items like:

• drinkware and gift items

• plaques and keepsakes

• branded products and signage

If you’ve got an idea you’d love engraved, send it through — we’ll tell you what’s possible and the best way to get it done.

Why it saves small businesses money

No minimum order printing isn’t just convenient — it can be cheaper overall for small businesses because you avoid the hidden costs of bulk ordering.

1) You don’t overbuy (and waste stock)

Ordering 20 shirts when you only need 6 ties up cash and leaves you with:

• wrong sizes

• outdated branding

• staff turnover leftovers

• boxes of stock you’ll never use

With no minimums, you buy what you need now.

2) You can trial before you commit

Not sure if a hoodie will be too warm? Unsure about colour? Want to test a new logo layout?

Order one first, approve it, then scale up.

3) You can keep branding consistent as you grow

Small businesses grow in stages. No minimums means you can:

• add one new staff uniform when someone starts

• top up a best-selling promo item

• refresh a design without writing off old stock

4) You can split your budget across more items

Instead of spending your whole budget on one bulk run — you can mix and match:

• a few uniforms

• a few gifts for VIP customers

• a few promo items for an event

That’s often a smarter use of marketing dollars.

When no-minimum orders are the best choice

No minimum order printing is ideal for:

• New businesses getting started with branding

• Trades and construction teams that hire casually or grow seasonally

• Cafés and retail that need a consistent look without bulk storage

• Events and community groups doing small runs for plays, dance comps, art shows, and fundraisers

• One-off gifts (birthdays, Christmas, staff thank-yous)

What you can order with no minimums

Here are a few popular options we do every week:

• Apparel: tees, hoodies, polos, singlets, hats, workwear

• Gifts: mugs, drink bottles, coasters, keyrings, slate rock prints

• Promo: stubby coolers, tin signs, magnets, bookmarks, bottle openers

• Branding: UV DTF stickers and decals

• Laser engraving: personalised gifts, branded items, plaques and more

If you’re not sure what suits your use case, we can recommend the best option based on how it’ll be worn or used.

A quick note on pricing (and how to keep it cost-effective)

With no minimums, the per-item price can be higher than a massive bulk run — but for most small businesses, the total cost ends up lower because you’re not buying extras.

To keep things cost-effective:

• Choose garments that suit your work environment (we’ll guide you)

• Keep artwork clear and print-ready where possible

• If you’re ordering 11+ items, ask about our bulk/wholesale discount options

Artwork tips: how to get the best result

To make your order smooth and your print crisp:

• Best file type: PNG with a transparent background

• Also accepted: JPEG, PDF, EPS, AI, SVG, PSD

• Aim for 300 DPI where possible

• If you’re sending a PDF, ensure fonts are outlined/embedded

Don’t stress if you’re not sure — we can check your file and let you know what will (and won’t) work.

Ready to order one (or a few)?

If you want to start small, top up uniforms, or test a new idea, no minimum order printing is made for you.

To get a quick quote, send an enquiry via our website and include:

• what you want to print or engrave

• how many you need (even if it’s just one)

• when you need it by

• your logo/artwork (if you have it)

We’ll come back to you with the best option for the job.

Custom T-Shirts in Victor Harbor: Pricing, Turnaround & Artwork Tips

If you’re looking for custom T-shirts in Victor Harbor (or anywhere on the Fleurieu), the biggest questions are always the same: how much will it cost, how long will it take, and what do you need to send us to get a great result?

Here’s a straight-up guide from the team at Plus Printing.

What we can print (and what it’s best for)

We use a few different methods depending on your design, the garment and the finish you’re after.

• DTF (Direct to Film): Great for bold logos, detailed designs and most everyday tees and hoodies.

• Sublimation: Best for items designed for sublimation (like mugs and some apparel). Produces vibrant, long-lasting colour.

• Laser engraving: Perfect for certain gift items and specialty products where you want a premium engraved finish.

Not sure which one you need? Just send your design and tell us what you’re printing on, and we’ll recommend the best option.

Sizes we can supply

One of the most common questions we get is about sizing.

• We can supply apparel from baby size 0 right through to adult 13XL.

That means you can do anything from kids’ birthday shirts to club hoodies and larger workwear sizes, all through the one local shop.

How much do custom T-shirts cost?

Pricing depends on the garment, the print size, and whether you’re printing one side or both.

Here are a couple of common examples:

• T-shirts: $37 (single side) or $43 (double side)

• Hoodies: $64 (single side) or $70 (double side)

If you’re doing a run for a club, team, workplace or event, we can also talk through the most cost-effective setup for your design.

Turnaround times (how fast can you get them?)

We’re set up for small runs and quick turnarounds.

• If the garments are in stock, tees and hoodies are often ready next day.

• If we need to order blanks in, turnaround can be up to 14 days depending on supplier availability.

If you’ve got a deadline (event, fundraiser, school, sports day), tell us up front and we’ll do our best to make it happen.

What artwork/files should you send?

To get the cleanest print, the best file type is:

• PNG with a transparent background

• 300 DPI

We can also work with:

• JPEG, PDF, EPS, AI, SVG, PSD

If your artwork needs a bit of tidying up, we can help. For most jobs, basic setup is included, and if a design needs significant work we’ll let you know before we start.

Can you bring your own items?

Yes — in many cases you can bring your own items for us to print on. If you’re unsure whether something will work, bring it in or message us a photo first.
