Sense2 supplies finished branded vests, from hi-vis safety wear to insulated puffers and softshell layers. Each model takes a defined set of decoration methods, some limited to embroidery within a stated area, so the garment you pick partly decides the mark you can place on it. This guide compares the categories, explains the fit and artwork tradeoffs, and outlines how quotes, proofs and ordering work. Approve the digital proof before production begins.

Why promotional jackets and fleece work — the research

  • Promotional fleece and jackets generate 9,000 impressions over their lifetime — more than any other product category.
  • Of consumers would keep a promotional fleece or jacket for more than a year.
  • Would wear it at least once a week.

How to choose

The real tradeoff in this category is between print area and garment type. A sublimated or transfer-printed vest gives you a large, full-colour brand statement, but only on the models that list those methods. Most puffers and softshells restrict you to embroidery inside a defined patch area, which suits a clean left-chest logo and not much else. Decide first whether the vest is signage or uniform: signage argues for the print-capable models, uniform argues for embroidery on a technical garment people will actually wear on site.

Fit matters as much as finish. Several models come in men's and women's cuts with different length and chest measurements, while the Prime softshell runs an extended S to 5XL range, so order a spread of sizes rather than one block. Check the sizing chart for the exact model, confirm decoration method against its listing, and send vector artwork sized to the stated area. Setup and freight are quoted separately, and production starts only after you approve the digital proof.

What is the minimum order for custom branded vests?

Minimums start at 50 units in this range; each product states its own minimum order. Unit price depends on quantity, so ask for a stepped quote across the quantities you are weighing up.

How can custom branded vests be branded with a logo?

The branding methods listed across this range are embroidery, sublimation print and transfer print. Sense2 supplies the finished item with your branding applied as one order; the print area and positions are stated on each product page, and you approve an artwork proof before production starts.

How long does production take for custom branded vests?

From under a week for stocked express lines up to 3 weeks from artwork approval, depending on the product — each product page states its own production window. Freight time depends on your destination and is quoted with the order.

Are there eco-friendly custom branded vests?

Yes — 6 products in this range are made with recycled materials. Each product page states its material, so the sustainability claim you make to your recipients is backed by the item itself.

Can I order a sample of Custom Branded Vests before placing a full order?

Yes — samples are available. Samples are charged at cost plus freight up front, and we credit the sample cost back on orders of 100+ units (and for returning customers) — so the sample effectively costs nothing once you order. Branded pre-production samples are also available with a setup fee that's credited back on the full order.

Does the Best Price Guarantee apply to custom branded vests?

Yes. If you show Sense2 an Australian competitor's advertised price for an identical product, we verify it and match it — the guarantee covers promotional merchandise resellers operating in Australia and excludes clearance, seconds and manufacturer pricing. Details are in our terms.

Can I order custom branded vests in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane or elsewhere in Australia?

Yes — Sense2 supplies custom branded vests Australia-wide, including Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Canberra, Gold Coast and Hobart, with dispatch from our production centres and freight quoted for your destination on each order.

What are custom branded vests typically used for?

Most of this range is chosen for staff onboarding and welcome kits. Tell Sense2 the occasion, the recipients and the quantity and we will point you to the right pieces for the brief.

Do promotional jackets and fleece actually get kept and used?

Promotional fleece and jackets generate 9,000 impressions over their lifetime — more than any other product category. 87% of consumers would keep a promotional fleece or jacket for more than a year. 78% would wear it at least once a week.

Which vest should I choose if I want more than a small logo?

Pick a model that lists dye-sublimation, transfer or digital print in its methods, such as the Stormtech thermal and softshell vests or the fully sublimated unisex puffer. Puffer models like the Payton, Frazer and Milford ranges are restricted to embroidery within a defined area, so a large multicolour logo will not work there. Match the artwork ambition to the listed method before committing.

What are the artwork constraints for embroidery?

Each embroidered model specifies a maximum area, often a horizontal rectangle or circle, and your design must sit inside it. Simplify fine detail and small text, since thread cannot reproduce thin lines the way ink can. Send vector artwork where possible and the Sense2 team will confirm whether the design suits the stated area before you approve the digital proof.

How do minimums and quotes work?

Minimums vary by model, so raise a quote for the exact vest and decoration method you want. Sense2 quotes the garments, with setup and freight itemised separately. The quote will state the applicable minimum for your selection, and the team can talk through size breakdowns before you commit to an order.

When should I plan my vest order?

Start early, well before the season or event you are buying for. Decoration, sizing confirmation and proof approval all take time, and popular colours and sizes can run short ahead of winter. Build buffer into your timeline, approve the digital proof promptly, and treat the delivery date as a target set at quoting rather than a promise made in a guide.

What should I check about materials and care?

Compositions differ across the range: sherpa fleece, bonded softshell, and insulated puffer constructions including recycled fill and recycled polyester options. Recycled content does not guarantee anything about end-of-life behaviour, so ask Sense2 for the documented composition and care instructions for the specific model. Those instructions govern washing, drying and how the decoration should be maintained.

How does the digital proof and ordering process work?

Once your artwork and order details are in, Sense2 prepares a digital proof showing placement and method on the selected vest. Production does not begin until you approve that proof, so review it carefully for size, position and colour. Any changes are made at proof stage rather than after garments are decorated. Sense2 supplies finished branded vests only and does not print items you supply.

One Patch of Thread

Watch a puffer vest leave the office in the evening. It goes to the tram stop, the school gate, the dog park on Saturday. Nobody sees a brochure that often. Now think about which mark you want travelling with it. A sublimated vest makes a bigger first impression, the artwork covering the garment. An embroidered technical vest keeps the mark small and stitched into the fabric, so the logo reads as part of the wardrobe rather than part of a campaign. Decide whether you are buying signage or a layer people will wear, and let that choose between thread and full print. The mark is smaller, but it travels with the garment instead of sitting on it.

When people reach for these

  • A logistics operation needs layered uniforms

    Pair the hi-vis silkscreened vest with embroidered softshells so site and warehouse teams share one visual identity across different conditions.

  • A business wants a winter gift staff will actually wear

    Choose an embroidered puffer in men's and women's cuts, order a full size spread from the charts, and keep the logo to a clean left-chest placement.

  • A club or campaign needs standout merchandise

    Use the fully sublimated unisex puffer with artwork built to the supplied template, accepting a bolder look than embroidery allows.
