Proudly printed in Sydney

All of our swimwear fabrics are printed in-house at our Penrith factory. That means faster turnarounds, consistent quality, and a team who understands the demands of Australian swim labels, from first-time designers to established brands.

With local production, you get more control over the outcome. No long waits, no overseas guesswork - just vibrant, flexible prints made to move with you and your timelines. Whether you’re sampling your first drop or preparing a full production run, we’re right here to support you.

Prints that stay bold in the sun and sea

Using commercial-grade inks and advanced digital printing, your swimwear designs will retain colour even after long days in chlorine, saltwater, and sunlight. We can print true blacks, bold colours, gradients, and fine details — and we’ll test it on the base fabric you choose.
