Tick. Tock. The clock is moving.
You need custom shirts. You need them in Sydney. And you need them yesterday.
At So Boss, we understand the Sydney hustle. Whether it’s a last-minute corporate event in Parramatta, a promotional launch in the CBD, or a weekend birthday bash in Surry Hills, time is your biggest enemy.
But here is the good news: you can beat the clock.
If you place your Direct to Garment (DTG) order before our 10am cut-off, we hit the ground running. We print. We pack. We dispatch.
Ready. Set. Go.
Can I really order custom shirts in under 5 minutes?
Yes. Absolutely.
Speed is not just about the printer; it is about the process. We have stripped away the fluff and the endless back-and-forth emails.
Our online system is built for the fast-lane. You don’t need to be a graphic designer. You don’t need to spend hours on a quote.
Pick. Upload. Checkout.
We focus on getting your gear out the door so you can focus on your business. It is that simple.
(Pro tip: Have your high-resolution file ready on your desktop before you start.)
What is the 10am Sydney Express Cut-Off?
The 10am cut-off is our line in the sand.
For all Direct to Garment (DTG) orders, if your order is finalized and paid by 10am AEST, it qualifies for same-day dispatch. This is the ultimate survival tool for Sydney businesses and event planners.
Why 10am? Because we refuse to compromise on quality. This window allows our expert team to prep your garments, calibrate the machines, and ensure every drop of ink is perfect before the afternoon couriers arrive.
We do not offer same-day dispatch for DTF (Direct to Film) or Screen Printing. Those methods require more curing time and setup. If you are in a genuine rush, DTG is your best friend.
Fast. Reliable. Sharp.

Which garment should I choose for my express order?
Don't overthink it.
When speed is the priority, we recommend sticking to our premium basics. We use high-quality blanks like the AS Colour Heavy Tee. It is the gold standard for custom apparel in Australia.
The AS Colour range offers a clean, smooth surface that absorbs DTG ink perfectly. This means vibrant colors and crisp lines every single time.
Looking for a professional look? Go with the Bone or White tees. Want something edgy? Our Coal and Sage tones are huge in the Sydney streetwear scene.
Check out our portfolio to see how these garments look once they’ve been through our industrial-grade printers.
Choose. Click. Print.
How do I prepare my design for a 5-minute checkout?
Preparation is the secret to speed.
If you want to breeze through the checkout in under five minutes, you need your artwork ready to go. We don't want you stuck in an editing loop while the 10am deadline approaches.
Follow these three rules:
Use PNG format: This allows for a transparent background. No one wants a big white box around their logo.
Hit 300 DPI: This is the resolution sweet spot. Anything lower will look blurry. Anything higher is just a massive file that takes too long to upload.
Check your colors: Ensure your design pops against the shirt color you’ve chosen.
If you have your file ready, the upload takes seconds. Our designer tool gives you an instant preview. What you see is what you get.
Design. Upload. Win.

Why is DTG the best choice for express Sydney orders?
Direct to Garment is like a giant inkjet printer for your clothes.
It is the only method that allows for high-speed, high-detail printing without the long setup times of traditional screen printing. We can print one shirt or fifty shirts with the same level of ease.
There are no screens to burn. There are no messy ink mixing stations. We pull your digital file, send it to the machine, and the magic happens.
(Note: We do offer DTF for a wider range of placements, but it does not qualify for the same-day 10am dispatch. Plan accordingly.)

Does So Boss deliver to my specific Sydney suburb?
We cover the entire Sydney metropolitan area and beyond.
Whether you are in the heart of the CBD, the industrial hubs of Western Sydney, or the creative pockets of the Inner West, we have you covered. We don't just stop at the city limits, though.
Our reach extends across all major Australian regions. From the Northern Beaches down to the Sutherland Shire, our express shipping partners ensure your gear arrives as fast as possible.
We also service:
Melbourne: From St Kilda to the CBD.
Brisbane: Northside to Southside.

Perth: Express shipping available.

No matter where you are, the 10am cut-off remains the same. Beat the clock, and we do the rest.
What if I miss the 10am cut-off?
Don't panic.
If you miss the 10am window, your order moves to the front of the queue for the following business day. We still work at lightning speed, but we won't be able to get it to the courier the same afternoon.
For those "I needed this yesterday" moments, it’s always best to reach out to us directly through our contact page. We are humans, and we will always try to help where we can.
Plan. Prep. Prosper.

No. We have zero minimums for DTG orders. You can order a single shirt for a gift or 20 shirts for a team event. The speed remains the same.

We print on a huge range of apparel. From the classic AS Colour Heavy Tee to hoodies and tanks. Check out our themed collection launch for inspiration on different garment types.

Local pickup options may be available depending on your location. Check the checkout page for the most up-to-date options for your specific order.
