North Shore
Custom uniforms North Shore, decorated in Glenfield
Custom uniforms North Shore businesses actually put on staff — the polo on a Takapuna counter, the shirt on an Albany trade desk, the tee on a Glenfield install crew. The work uniforms North Shore teams reorder are decorated about as locally as it gets: embroidery stitched in-house and heat transfers pressed in-house, in one Glenfield workshop with no shop and no walk-ins, then couriered to your door like every other order.
Decorated in Glenfield, couriered to you — Mon–Fri 8:30am–5:30pm.

How it works
What a North Shore address actually changes
We are a North Shore business decorating for North Shore businesses, and the useful thing to say about that is how little it changes. The custom uniforms Glenfield firms order and the work uniforms Takapuna teams reorder run on the same machines, to the same timeline and at the same price as a job going to Manukau. What being close actually buys you is a short courier leg — not collection, because there is nothing at the workshop to visit.
The workshop is here, and it is still not open
Everything on this site is decorated in Glenfield, so if you are reading this from Milford or Birkenhead your gear is decorated a few suburbs away. It still goes out by courier and there is still no shop to visit — there is genuinely nothing to come to, and that is the same answer a customer in Christchurch gets.
Being local does not add or remove days
Decoration takes about 5–21 working days from artwork approval, and your address does not move it either way. The production time is the production time; what changes is the courier leg at the end, which on the Shore is usually next day. The corporate uniforms Takapuna offices order are on the same schedule as a job heading to Rodney.
Wairau Valley, Albany and the bays
The Shore is really three different customers — a light-industrial belt through Wairau Valley, an office and tech cluster around Albany, and retail and hospitality strung along the bays. What a yard needs and what a storefront wants are not the same order, so tell us which you are and the quote comes back shaped for it.

Two ways to start
Ready to get started?
Most quotes go back the same business day. There is no obligation and no minimum order.
Or call 021 082 12843 — Mon–Fri 8:30am–5:30pm.
What happens next
- 1. You send rough numbers and what the team does.
- 2. We come back with garment options and a price per garment, decoration included, usually the same business day.
- 3. Once you go ahead, we confirm logo size and placement in writing before anything goes into production.
What we decorate
Gear for the offices and the trade yards
What comes back on repeat is a short and fairly predictable list, and it does not change much between an office and a trade yard — nearly all of it is stock we can get from New Zealand wholesalers inside a week.
Where else we deliver
One workshop, the whole of Auckland
The North Shore is one of eight Auckland areas we deliver into, and the workshop does not move for any of them — it just happens to be on this side of the bridge. If your team is split between an Albany office and a site south of the city, one quote covers the lot and we will split the delivery.
Questions
What North Shore businesses ask us
If yours is not here, ask when you request a quote and you will get a straight answer.
How long does it take?
About 5–21 working days from the moment you approve the artwork — quick for a straight reorder of gear we have already set up, longer for a logo we have not set up yet or a garment we have to bring in. Being on the Shore does not shorten that, and we would rather say so than let you plan around a local discount that does not exist. The courier leg at the end is usually next day. If you have a fixed date, put it on the quote and we will tell you plainly whether it is achievable.
You are in Glenfield and so am I. Can I collect?
No — there is no shop to visit and no walk-ins, and that holds even if you are one suburb away. There is genuinely nothing to come to and nobody to meet; everything goes out by courier, including an order travelling four streets. It is the one part of being local that does not work in your favour, and it is better to know now than to plan a trip.
Is there a minimum order?
No minimum. A Wairau Valley workshop wanting two shirts and an Albany office wanting sixty get the same answer: both are real orders. Larger runs bring the per-garment figure down, so if you are deciding between now and in batches, ask for both on one quote. A very small order carries a handling charge, shown on the quote, because the setup work is the same for one garment as for fifty.
Do I get anything for being on your doorstep?
Honestly, not much, and we would rather be straight about it. The uniform embroidery Glenfield businesses order runs on the same machines to the same standard as a job going to Dunedin, and the custom uniforms Takapuna teams reorder cost the same as they would anywhere. What you do get is a courier leg measured in hours rather than days, and a supplier who is a North Shore business too — so if something needs sorting, you are dealing with someone in the same city on the same clock.
We take on staff all year. How do reorders work?
Your setup, placement measurements and garment codes stay on record, so a reorder is a message rather than a fresh setup, and there is no setup fee again on the same gear at the same size. The corporate uniforms North Shore offices ordered two years ago still come back matching, and a polo replaced next month sits beside the ones bought before it without anyone noticing the difference. That is the part that gets hard if you change supplier every time. Your logo stays yours; the stitch file we make from it is ours to keep on record.
Can you handle a few sites across the Shore on one order?
Yes, and it is common — a firm with an Albany office and a Wairau Valley workshop usually wants the same logo on two quite different garments. What each site wears can go on one quote, and on one stitch file where the logo size and fabric allow, then split into separate cartons so each box lands at the right address. The setup is the same either way, and people who start at either site later just join the existing record. If one site wants a pressed logo instead of a stitched one, that runs through on the same job rather than a second order.
What moves the price — the garment, the method, how many and the setup — is set out in the uniform pricing guide.
