The West End Markets are the heartbeat of Brisbane's creative scene.

Every Saturday, Davies Park transforms into a sea of local art, vintage finds, and incredible street food.

You are an artist with a stall, but you just realized you’re low on your best-selling design.

Or maybe you just finished a killer new illustration last night and you want it on a shirt for this weekend.

The clock is ticking.

The market is calling.

You need stock fast.

We are So Boss, and we are here to make sure you never show up to a market with an empty rack.

Design. Print. Despatch.

Do you need artist-quality shirts delivered to your door before the weekend?

The answer is a definitive yes.

We specialize in high-speed, high-quality custom apparel for the creators who make West End so iconic.

If you order using our Direct-to-Garment (DTG) service, we provide same-day print and despatch.

(Note: All orders are strictly delivery only; we do not offer a pick-up service from our facility).

We understand the hustle of a market stall owner because we live and breathe apparel.

You focus on the art.

We handle the ink.

Why is DTG the secret weapon for West End artists?

Direct-to-Garment printing is like a giant inkjet printer for your clothes.

It allows for incredible detail, vibrant colors, and soft-to-the-touch finishes.

It is perfect for complex illustrations, water-colour effects, and high-contrast graphic designs.

Because there are no screens to burn or setups to build, we can move fast.

Really fast.

We take your digital file and put it straight onto a premium custom tee.

Upload. Click. Done.

Can I get same-day despatch on every product?

Transparency is our priority.

We offer same-day print and despatch exclusively for our DTG orders.

If you are looking for our full range of products, including specialized placements or different finishes, we also offer Direct-to-Film (DTF) printing.

DTF is amazing for durability and works across almost every fabric type.

However, DTF orders follow our standard production timelines and do not qualify for same-day despatch.

If you are in a genuine rush for the West End Markets, stick with DTG.

Choose. Order. Win.

What kind of shirts should I print my art on?

Your art deserves a canvas that feels as good as it looks.

We don’t use "cheap" blanks that shrink after one wash.

For that classic West End streetwear vibe, we highly recommend the Vintage Wash Graphic Tee.

It has that broken-in, premium feel that market-goers absolutely love.

If you want something heavy and structured, the Premium Cotton Tee is the industry standard.

It provides a smooth surface for DTG ink, ensuring your lines stay sharp and your colors stay bold.

Quality. Feel. Style.

How does the same-day despatch process actually work?

It is simple, but you have to be quick.

You upload your high-resolution artwork (300 DPI is best) to our website.

Our team receives the order and preps the garment immediately.

We print it using our state-of-the-art DTG machines.

Once the ink is cured, we pack it and hand it over to the courier.

(Remember: We operate an online-only model to keep our efficiency high, so no in-person collections are allowed).

This allows us to focus entirely on getting orders out the door and into your hands.

Create. Submit. Relax.

What if I want to expand beyond just t-shirts?

West End isn't just about tees.

The early morning market setup can be chilly, and that is where hoodies come in.

You can put your designs on a Classic Pullover Hoodie to offer your customers a high-ticket item.

Or, if your brand has a sportier edge, check out the Sporty Contrast Hoodie.

Adding variety to your stall increases your chances of a sale.

We even do headwear like the Structured Trucker Hat for those sunny Brisbane mornings.

Expand. Grow. Profit.

Is there a minimum order for the West End artists?

We believe in empowering small businesses and independent creators.

That is why we offer no minimum orders on our DTG printing.

You can print one shirt to test a new design.

You can print fifty shirts to stock up for a massive Saturday at the markets.

We provide the scalability you need without the overhead of bulk inventory.

Test. Learn. Scale.

How do I ensure my art looks perfect on the shirt?

The secret is in the file preparation.

Always use a transparent background (PNG format).

Ensure your colors are set to CMYK for the most accurate print representation.

If your design looks blurry on your screen, it will look blurry on the shirt.

We want your stall to be the busiest one in West End.

We want people stopping in their tracks to admire your work.

Check. Double-check. Print.

What happens after I place my order?

Once your order is despatched, you will receive a tracking number.

We use reliable courier partners to get your gear to your doorstep.

Because we don't allow pick-ups, we have optimized our shipping process to be as fast as humanly possible.

You stay in your studio creating; we handle the logistics.

It is the perfect partnership for the modern creative.

Track. Receive. Sell.

Ready to dominate the West End Markets?

The weekend is coming whether you are ready or not.

Don't let a "Sold Out" sign be the reason you miss out on revenue.

Take that new design off your iPad and put it on a premium tee today.

Our DTG machines are warmed up and waiting.

We are fast.

We are reliable.

We are So Boss.

Start. Now. Succeed.
