The Print Bar in Australia: Everything you need to know
It is now much easier to print your own designs on tee-shirts, bags, accessories, and other items. Local and international, there are hundreds of competitors. 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 one such company. The Print Bar has a large selection of printing options, including small-scale and bulk printing.
What is The Print Bar?
The Print Bar provides a variety of clothing options for t-shirts, accessories and other items. They offer same day printing as well as delivery throughout 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 Melbourne, it opened its second location. The company is proud of its sustainable business practices and offers high-definition printing using water-based inks as well as 100% recyclable mailer bags.

How does same-day t-shirt printing function?
If you order before 11am, your tee-shirts, tanks, or totes can be picked up or shipped by 4:30pm. Prints are shipped via Australia Post Express shipping. However, you also have the option for standard shipping if you’re not in too much of a rush.
While not all printing options are available to be same-day printed, you’ll find the most popular garments are available. For a full list of The Print Bar’s Same Day Printing range, check out their website here.
What can I print with The Print Bar?
While t-shirts are the most popular printing service, The Print Bar also offers singlets, tank tops, hoodies, sweatshirts, long sleeve tees, facemasks, headwear, children’s clothes and more. Also, they offer garments by brands like AS Colour, Next Level and Gildan. Check out their website here for the full catalogue of men’s, women’s and kids tees.
That’s also just an idea of their garment printing. Printing is available on promotional merchandise, including accessories and clothing. Totes bags are a popular choice, but there’s also pens, USBs and badges.

The Print Bar can deliver anywhere.
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.

Once you’ve added all your elements to your design, it’s as simple as clicking through to check out, and organising shipping.
The Print Bar, as far as online design platforms go, does a great job at showing you a real-life preview of your print. Their uploader also accepts many common image files. It’s completely free to check out, so if you’ve got some budding ideas for t-shirt designs, or some upcoming promotional materials you need made up, check out The Print Ba’s website here.
