OUR STORY
Help Make the World’s Greatest Brands Even Better®
Ethical, sustainable and organic branded apparel specialists since 2004, now serving New Zealand organisations directly.
Ethical apparel specialists since 2004
OCC Apparel was established in 2004 by a team of ethical, sustainable and organic branded apparel specialists. Our first brand was Beneficial T’s by Patagonia, organic cotton tees made for the decoration trade. That idea still drives everything we do: better garments, decorated properly.
We give New Zealand organisations access to certified ethical blank apparel brands that they can decorate and relabel as their own, in 100% organic cotton, recycled fibres and blends, with water-based screen printing available. When a stock garment isn’t right, we manufacture offshore with certified factory partners, matched to your timeline and target price.
How we work in New Zealand
- Quotes, mockups and approvals online, with one team managing your order
- Decoration by our accredited Auckland production partner
- New Zealand-wide shipping
- Certifications shown per garment, so every claim can be checked
- Offshore manufacturing for your own fabrics, colours and fits
Quality, People, Honesty
We’re here for the long term. We work with clients to give their brand the right raw materials and the right production methods: the building blocks, the experience and the infrastructure that let your merchandise get out there and be worn.
“Our key principles are Quality, People & Honesty.” — Nick Barclay, Managing Director
