Why Australian Made Merch Should Be Your Go-To This Year
Our local screen printers.
When it comes to corporate gifting and branded merchandise, there’s nothing better than keeping it local. It’s not just a feel-good choice — Australian made merch delivers where it counts: quality, quick turnaround, sustainability, and real brand impact.
It's Australian Made Week and the perfect time to rethink how you source merch for your events, clients, and internal teams. Let’s unpack why going local isn’t just a good idea — it’s a great one.
1. Faster lead times, fewer headaches
Anyone who’s ever scrambled to get event merch in time knows the pain of offshore delays. Shipping holdups, customs surprises, and missed deadlines — no thanks.
Our Australian made and decorated merchandise range skips the international queues and keeps your timelines tight. Whether it’s (product) locally printed notebooks, (product) custom water bottles, or (product) Australian made apparel, you can count on faster turnarounds and delivery you can actually rely on.
Fast lead times, Local production, sustainable branded merchandise delivered on time.
2. Sustainable choices, smarter impact
At Merchgirls, sustainability isn’t retro fitted, it’s something that has been built into everything we do. From our golden supplier agreement to our Australian made merch and Australian decorated merch. Plus, local production means fewer transport emissions and a lighter footprint overall.
Think sustainable branded merchandise, printed with GOTS certified inks or made right here in Australia with a lower carbon footprint. From Australian made candles to paper stationery, recycled desk organisers, and locally crafted leather coasters — these are products that don’t just look good, they do good.
3. Premium quality that does your brand justice
Let’s be honest — there are a lot of poorly designed low quality promo items out there. The beauty of Australian made merch is in the craftsmanship. These are pieces designed to last and make an impression, not end up in the bottom drawer.
Think:
- Locally printed promotional tote bags and apparel: Billie Tote and AS Colour Apparel
- Premium pens for your next conference: Recycled Triangular Pen
- Promotional reusable water bottles: Base Bottle
- Desk organisers and stationery that brighten up any workspace, Dash Desk Organiser and Recycled Triangular Pen and Lisha Notebook
This is branded merchandise that works hard for your brand long after it’s gifted and earns its keep supporting local makers.
4. Feel-good factor (for you and your audience)
When you choose Australian made merchandise, you’re not just getting great products — you’re supporting local business, backing Aussie jobs, and contributing to homegrown creativity.
It’s a feel-good decision that your clients and colleagues will notice (and appreciate). It also shows your brand values: quality, care, and connection to community.
