Key Points

  • The NSW Department of Education ordered branded black T-shirts in bulk for their Women in Trades program, printed with the NSW Government logo and WiT branding across the chest.
  • Getting the fit right matters as much as the print for a program built around making women feel confident and represented in the trades.
  • Susie said she actually loves the shirt and that it fits really well.

About the NSW Department of Education

The NSW Department of Education is one of Australia’s largest government agencies, responsible for public education across New South Wales. Susie Fansa from their Post Placement Support team, part of the Women in Trades (WiT) initiative, contacted Cubic Promote to order branded T-shirts for program participants and staff.

How We Get the Order Right

Women in Trades is a NSW Government initiative that supports women entering and staying in trade careers. The t-shirts needed to represent both the NSW Government and the WiT brand clearly, so the chest print carries the NSW Government waratah logo alongside the WiT Women in Trades wordmark in white on a black body.

Eloisa, our production manager, handled the order from brief to delivery. After deciding on the item, we sent them a free quote. Because the shirts were ordered in bulk, we were able to secure a lower cost per-unit for them. Our artwork team set up the dual logo layout for the chest print, submitted it for sign-off, and once Susie approved the mock-up, the shirts went into production and shipped from our Sydney warehouse.

What Susie Said After Receiving Hers

Susie emailed Eloisa after the shirts arrived:

“I actually love this though and it fits really well!”

The mirror selfie she sent alongside the email says the rest. The black t-shirt with the WiT branding sits cleanly on the chest and the fit looks exactly as it should for a program shirt that gets worn with pride.

Why the Right T-Shirt Fit Matters

A t-shirt handed to a program participant is worn regularly, shared on social media, and becomes part of how that person identifies with the program. For Women in Trades, the shirt carries real meaning, so the fit and quality need to hold up to that.

  • Cut and fit — a style that works across a diverse group of body types means every participant can wear it comfortably, not just those who fit a standard size.
  • Print quality on dark fabric — white on black needs a clean setup to stay sharp after washing, so the artwork file and print method both matter from the start.
  • Bulk ordering — ordering in bulk keeps the per-unit cost practical for a government or community program budget, and means there are enough shirts to cover the full group without a second order.
