Who is T Shirts Australia and what market does it serve?
T Shirts Australia is an apparel printer based in Brisbane, Queensland. Its store, tshirtsaustralia.au, sells in English to consumers and businesses across Australia. A read-only check on 2026-10-10 found a WooCommerce catalogue split into custom, blank and graphic T-shirts and apparel plus hat printing, each grouped for men, women and kids, alongside a bring-your-own-garment route for customers supplying their own blanks. A dedicated page names two decoration methods, direct-to-garment and direct-to-film, explaining that the first generally suits lighter garments and the second darker ones; the store does not offer screen printing. Product pages offer colour and size choices from extra small to 5XL and a button to start the design step; same-day, express and standard handling are sold as separate product lines, each with an estimated handling date.
The businesses named in these case studies are Netbase JSC clients; the web-to-print work described was delivered or designed by Netbase JSC, which operates Web2Print Solutions. Names, links and screenshots are shown with the operator's authorization and removed on request.

How big is Australia's online apparel and custom print market?
Clothing, footwear and personal accessory retailing turnover in Australia reached AUD 3,160.4 million in June 2025, seasonally adjusted, up 1.5% on the previous month; clothing retailing alone rose 2.0%, per the Australian Bureau of Statistics' Retail Trade, Australia release for June 2025, published 31 July 2025.
Online retailing across every Australian retail category totalled AUD 4,703.8 million in the same month, up 3.9% on May, in the same ABS release. A store taking that channel seriously needs a design step and checkout that work first time, since the buyer has no counter to fall back on.
Measured over a longer span, the Australian Fashion Council, the industry's peak body, put the sector's economic contribution at AUD 27.2 billion, including AUD 7.2 billion of export revenue and about 500,000 workers, in its "From High Fashion to High Vis" report with EY, published May 2021.
What business problem does an apparel print store like this have to solve?
A buyer ordering a custom T-shirt is usually ordering for an event, a team, a workplace or a trip, not browsing for stock, and many of those orders carry a date that will not move. A catalogue that cannot promise same-day or express handling on at least some products pushes every deadline order onto a phone call, which does not scale nationally.
The second constraint is catalogue width multiplied by decoration method. Custom, blank and graphic tees and hats each carry their own colour and size grid, and a bring-your-own garment needs a different intake path again. Running two decoration methods on top of that catalogue means every order must resolve to the right file for its garment colour; a method mismatch is a reprint, not a small fix.
The third constraint is the Australian checkout: GST-inclusive pricing, state and postcode addresses, and a national carrier network from one production base, the requirements web-to-print for Australian print businesses sets out in full.
What decisions and trade-offs shaped the project?
The records name decisions only through their titles and dates, so this section lists what the records show and states no reasons for them.
-
Customising an online designer
The first milestone is titled as a customisation of the online designer. It was dated 31 August 2023 and closed on 14 September 2023, two weeks later.
-
Pricing logic and product preview added together
Both tasks were created on 31 August 2023. No later task in the records carries a pricing or preview title.
-
One open-ended second milestone
The second milestone, dated 6 December 2024, is titled general scope rather than a named feature, and closed on 28 November 2025. The records do not link individual tasks to either milestone.
-
Ordering and checkout revisited across February 2025
Four tasks carry an ordering-and-checkout title: an addition on 3 February, a fix on 10 February, a task on 26 February logged as incomplete, and an addition on 28 February.
How does an order move from garment choice to a production file?
A product page on tshirtsaustralia.au, checked on 2026-10-10, sets out a buyer's path from garment to print file; the project records describe work on the same stages of that pipeline.
- Choose the garment or supply your own The buyer picks a product from the custom, blank, graphic or hat catalogue and sets its colour and size, or chooses the bring-your-own-garment route to supply a blank.
- Add artwork The buyer uploads print-ready artwork or opens the store's own online designer to build the design.
- Pick same-day, express or standard handling The buyer chooses a handling tier matched to the order's deadline before checkout.
- Check the artwork fits the print area The store states a standard print area of up to 400 mm by 450 mm on a typical tee. A design that fits the print area and suits its method moves to a production file, direct-to-garment for lighter garments or direct-to-film for darker ones, as the store generally selects; one that does not routes back to the artwork step, since the store asks buyers whose artwork needs a larger piece or a different placement to ask before ordering.

Integrations
A WooCommerce catalogue and checkout, with handling tiers set before payment
The failure mode a two-method store guards against is the one its own help pages exist to cover: a print-ready-artwork page setting file requirements, and a print-area page setting the bounds a design must fit. The store also notes that same-day refers to production time, with delivery time separate.
One live product shows the shape today: the same-day men's T-shirt lists white and black, sizes from extra small to 5XL, a button starting the design, a 12:00 noon Brisbane cut-off for same-day production, and print areas listed as front, back, label, neck, tail, left and right.
Netbase JSC maintains reusable web-to-print components - a browser-based online designer, rule-based print pricing templates, print-ready PDF output with CMYK conversion, bleed and trim, storefront connectors for WooCommerce, Shopify, Wix and custom stores, and a photobook and multi-page layout editor - which an engagement may reuse under their own licence terms. The catalogue, decoration methods, pricing and production belong to T Shirts Australia.

Two further records are administrative and are left out of this timeline. Of eighteen recorded tasks, thirteen carry a completed status, two are logged as incomplete and three show no status.
What does this record show, and what does it not?
It shows a Brisbane apparel printer running a custom, blank, graphic tee and hat catalogue with an online designer, two decoration methods and tiered handling, with dated work from August 2023 to November 2025 across two milestones and eighteen tasks.
It does not show order volume, conversion or any revenue figure; none is measured to a published method and none is claimed here. It does not show that every recorded task finished: thirteen of eighteen carry a completed status, two February 2025 tasks, on storage and file handling and on ordering and checkout, are logged as incomplete, and three show no status. Web2Print Solutions is the web-to-print engineering service of Netbase JSC. Delivery records cited on this site belong to Netbase JSC; where no delivered example of a capability is published, the page says so rather than implying a record.
What should a print business in this niche take from it?
-
Give same-day and express orders their own path
A buyer working against an event date should not have to call to find out if a deadline is achievable.
-
Treat a second decoration method as a routing decision
Running two print methods means every order must resolve to the right file for the garment colour, not just the right artwork.
-
Let a bring-your-own-garment route use its own intake path
Supplying a blank is a different ordering problem from buying the garment, and conflating the two loses orders on both sides.
-
Plan for more than one checkout pass
These records show four ordering-and-checkout tasks across February 2025.
-
Size the catalogue honestly
An extra-small-to-5XL run across several garment families is a sizing and print-area matrix, not one template with a dropdown.

How could a similar project start?
If you print apparel with more than one decoration method, or want a bring-your-own-garment route, send a project brief listing your garment families, the sizes each runs, your current methods and whether same-day or express handling matters to your buyers. Print-area mechanics are covered on the t-shirt and apparel designer page, and decoration-method routing sits under apparel and promotional print. Option rules belong in a print product configurator, store connections are on WooCommerce web-to-print, and Australian checkout requirements are on web-to-print for Australian print businesses. A related record, in a different country, is the MyTeeMyPrint case study in Malaysia; every case study is indexed on the evidence hub.
