More product.  More options. More value.

Factory Direct is our factory-sourced range of premium promotional merchandise. Ideal for clients who want greater customisation, a wider product choice, or competitive pricing on larger runs.

Why Factory Direct

The right choice for the right brief.

1

Better value on larger orders

When quantities are higher, factory-direct pricing can offer significant savings compared to locally stocked options.

2

Greater customisation freedom

Custom shapes, colours, materials and branding combinations that simply aren't available off the shelf in Australia to create a truly unique product.

3

Managed by our in-house team

Your dedicated Branding Advisor oversees quality control, factory relationships and logistics on your behalf.

4

Consolidated sea freight

We consolidate shipments to keep freight competitive, and include freight costs in your quote upfront — no surprises.

5

Same Branded Products® quality guarantee

Every Factory Direct order goes through our quality check process before it leaves the factory.

Plan ahead with Factory Direct

Because products are sourced and manufactured overseas, lead times are longer than local stock. Build Factory Direct into your campaign planning early for the best results.

Good Question

Things clients often ask us.

Q

How is quality controlled from overseas?

Our team conducts quality checks at the factory before shipment. We won't release an order that doesn't meet our standards.

Q

What if I need products quickly?

Factory Direct is best planned 8–12 weeks ahead. For urgent needs, we can look into air freight. Alternatively we recommend our locally stocked range which ships within days.

Q

Is there a minimum order quantity?

Minimums vary by product. Many Factory Direct items start from 50–100 units, though custom manufactured items may require higher quantities.

Q

Can I get a sample before committing?

Yes — pre-production samples are available on request. Your Branding Advisor will discuss sample costs and timelines during quoting.

Q

How does pricing compare to locally stocked?

Factory Direct is a lot more competitive on larger quantities. For small runs, our local range is still usually better value. We often see savings of 20%–50% for our clients.

Q

Can you fully custom manufacture a product?

Absolutely. Our team can develop entirely new products from your brief — including custom shapes, packaging and materials.
