About Us

Dye Sublimation Printing is a process of applying a heat sensitive ink to fabric which permanently dyes the fabric. This involves printing the inks onto a specialised paper which is then laid onto the fabric and run through a heat press at a high temperature and pressure. The ink is then transferred permanently into the weave of the fabric.

Our Managing Director, Chris Smith, was a former Test Cricketer for England & then Chief Executive of the Western Australian Cricket Association (WACA) for 7 years. In 2000, he purchased Embroidery WA, and at the time the company had 2 staff members. Embroidery WA now employs 20 staff and embroiders over 15,000 garments every week…and has done so for many years.

Having experienced our own difficulties with Dye Sublimated sports clothing, Chris embarked on this new venture with the intention of simplifying & perfecting the process.

We opened our doors in 2013 & we are extremely proud of our growing reputation for quality, consistency & quick turnaround times. Our customers tell us that we are the most reliable manufacturer of this type of sports clothing in Australia. Our staff turnover is almost zero and has been for many years…as a consequence of this you are assured of dealing with the same staff year after year.
