Why Great Supplier Backing (and APPA Membership) Matters for Your Custom Printing
When you’re ordering custom tees, workwear, mugs, or promo gear, you’re not just buying a print — you’re buying confidence that it’ll be done right, on time, and backed if anything goes sideways.
At Plus Printing, two things help us deliver that peace of mind every day:
We’ve got great backing from our suppliers
We’re proud to be part of APPA
Here’s what that means for you (in plain English).
1) Better stock access = faster turnarounds
A lot of delays in printing don’t come from the printing itself — they come from waiting on blanks (shirts, hoodies, polos, hats, etc.).
Because we work closely with trusted suppliers, we can usually:
Get common items quickly
Offer more options across brands, fits, and colours
Give you clearer timeframes upfront
So if you need uniforms for a new team member, merch for an event, or a quick run of shirts for a weekend, we can move faster and keep you in the loop.
2) If there’s an issue, you’re not stuck
Printing is hands-on work. Every now and then, a blank item can have a fault — a stitching issue, a mark, a sizing problem — and you only spot it when you’re right in the middle of a job.
Strong supplier support means we can sort problems properly:
Faster replacements (where possible)
Clearer outcomes when something’s not right
Less back-and-forth for you
Our goal is simple: if a problem happens, we handle it — you shouldn’t have to.
3) More consistency across repeat orders
If you’re a business ordering uniforms, consistency matters. Same colour, same feel, same fit — and ideally the same product line so you’re not guessing every time you reorder.
Good supplier relationships help us:
Keep your repeat orders consistent
Recommend alternatives if something is discontinued
Plan ahead for seasonal stock changes
It’s one of the reasons a lot of our customers come back again and again.
4) Being apart of APPA is about standards and trust
We’re proud to be apart of APPA because it aligns with how we run Plus Printing: doing things properly, being transparent, and making sure customers get what they paid for.
For you, that means you’re dealing with a business that values:
Professionalism
Reliable processes
Quality outcomes
Clear communication
It’s not about fancy titles — it’s about showing up, doing good work, and standing behind it.
5) It all adds up to less stress for you
Whether you’re ordering one item or kitting out a whole crew, you want the same thing: a smooth experience.
Great supplier backing + being part of APPA helps us deliver:
Better timeframes
More reliable stock
Stronger quality control
Proper support if something needs fixing
