Australia’s Screen Printing & Embroidery Apparel Experts

Ethical apparel, decorated and delivered Australia-wide. Since 2004.

ABOUT US

Ethical apparel specialists since 2004.

OCC Apparel started on the Gold Coast in 2004 as the first Australian distributor of Patagonia’s Beneficial T’s organic cotton program. Organic, traceable garments have been at the heart of our business ever since.

We supply ethically accredited blank apparel for clients to relabel and decorate as their own, in 100% organic cotton, recycled fibres and blends. We proudly decorate garments locally, and also manufacture offshore with ethically accredited factory partners.

“Our key principles are Quality, People & Honesty.” — Nick Barclay, Managing Director

WHY OCC

Apparel you can be proud of, made together.

Staff uniforms, team wear, event apparel, merchandise or your own fashion label: every garment carries your name and your values. OCC works alongside you as your apparel production partner, bringing the experience and knowledge we’ve built since 2004 to every order, and always looking ahead to what’s next.

Values you can stand behind

Cheaply made apparel can contradict everything your organisation stands for. We supply garments from ethically accredited brands and show the certifications each style carries, so you know exactly what you’re putting your name on.

Your apparel production team

We work with you from first idea to delivery: the right garments, the right decoration and a free mockup before anything is made. Your artwork and proofs stay on file, so every reorder builds on the last.

The tenth order matches the first

Quality garments, careful decoration and consistent colours, so your uniforms, team wear and products look right every time they’re reordered.

Ahead of the curve

We don’t stop at what’s available today. We work with our suppliers to push for better ethical accreditations, fabrics and styles, so your apparel keeps improving and stays ahead.

We’d love to work with you. We value the trust you place in us, and we’re ready to earn it on every order.
