Wear your brand well

Your design. The right garment. A finish made for the job.

Good apparel printing is not just about putting a logo on a shirt. The fabric, colour, print position, artwork detail, quantity and intended use all affect the result.

3A helps Auckland businesses, teams, events and growing brands turn a clear brief into practical, production-ready custom apparel.

What we can help produce

More than a printed tee.

Start with the garment your people need to wear. We will help clarify the print, placement and production details around it.

High-vis workwear printing Auckland

High visibility. Clearly yours.

For trades, site crews and operational teams, branding has to work around reflective panels, pockets, seams and zips. We plan a clear print area and keep logo placement consistent across shirts, vests, polos and jackets.

Choosing the production approach

The best result starts before the press.

There is no single production method that is right for every garment. We review the job first, then confirm the practical way to produce it with your quote.

01

Artwork

Fine detail, colour, opacity and print size all influence the suitable approach.

02

Garment

Fabric composition, colour, seams and intended use affect compatibility and placement.

03

Quantity & lifespan

A one-off event tee and a repeat staff uniform have different production priorities.

Frequently asked questions

What to know before ordering.

What information do you need for an accurate quote?

Send six things: garment type and colour, quantity by size, print positions, approximate print dimensions, your artwork file and the date you need the order. Also include Penrose pickup or the delivery postcode. With that information, we can quote the actual job instead of making assumptions.

What artwork files should I send?

AI, EPS, SVG or a vector PDF is preferred for logos because it can be resized cleanly. Convert fonts to outlines and embed any linked images. If vector artwork is unavailable, send a transparent PNG at the intended print size and ideally 300 ppi. Do not enlarge a small web logo before sending it; attach the original file you have.

How do I specify logo size and print position?

Name each location—left chest, centre front, full back or sleeve—and give the required width in millimetres. A marked-up photo or simple mock-up is helpful but not compulsory. Before production, the final artwork and placement are confirmed against the selected garment.

Can I order mixed sizes and garment colours?

Yes. Supply a line-by-line breakdown, for example 4 black small, 8 black medium and 6 white large. If the same artwork will sit on light and dark garments, include the required logo colour for each garment colour so every version remains legible.

Can T-shirts, hoodies, polos and high-vis garments be combined in one enquiry?

Yes. List each garment type separately with its colour, size quantities and print positions. The same logo can be used across the range, but its physical size may be adjusted so it sits correctly on different panels, pockets, seams and reflective areas.

Will I approve the artwork before production?

Yes. Production starts only after the quotation, garment specification, print positions and final artwork have been confirmed. Check spelling, colours, quantities, sizes and placement at this stage; changes made after approval can affect both price and completion timing.

What if my logo is low resolution or not print-ready?

Send the original file rather than a screenshot. We will flag blurred edges, missing fonts, transparency problems or artwork that is too small before production. If the logo needs redrawing or other preparation, that work and any cost are confirmed before it is added to the job.

Do you offer Auckland pickup and delivery elsewhere in New Zealand?

Yes. Completed orders can be collected from 3A at 772 Great South Road, Penrose, Auckland, and delivery can be arranged for suitable jobs throughout New Zealand.
