# AS Colour x The Print Room

 1 minute read

From printing t-shirts on an old door held together with Mitre 10 nuts, springs, and bolts to running a global customisation operation. Dunedin’s Print Room is the definition of grassroots dedication.

The Print Room Story

Founded by Jon and Chris in their early 20’s pulling all-nighter printing sessions around their day jobs, the Print Room team has grown to 22 people across Dunedin and Melbourne - setting a world-class example of ethical, sustainable apparel decoration.

Print Room’s journey from a DIY setup to an industry leader is built on uncompromised quality and genuine relationships. Today, operating from their headquarters in Dunedin and a second office in Melbourne, their team services clients worldwide, from local Kiwi brands to international touring acts.

As they prepare to move into a brand-new, purpose-built 1,100m² factory opening in early 2027, Print Room continues to raise the bar for the decoration industry. Their recent B Corp Certification stands as official proof of their long-standing commitment to ethical manufacturing, environmental responsibility, and social accountability across every run.

The Rugby Jersey

Celebrating a shared Kiwi heritage, the featured piece is the [5416 Rugby Stripe Jersey.](https://ascolour.com/rugby-stripe-jersey-5416/) A staple silhouette rooted in local sporting culture.

To bring the garment to life, every detail of the custom jersey pays homage to Print Room's journey: the number ‘13’ marking 13 years of partnership with AS Colour, alongside the Dunedin crest and flag honoring their southern roots. Representing the pride of building something local that reaches across the globe.

AS Colour x Print Room

The partnership between AS Colour and Print Room goes back to the beginning. When many suppliers overlooked a young team printing out of a shed, AS Colour supported them, supplying the high-quality blank apparel needed to bring their work to life.

As AS Colour’s global network expands across New Zealand, Australia, the United States, the United Kingdom, and Europe - it provides Print Room with the consistent supply chain needed to service clients worldwide without compromising quality.

Whether you are printing 50 tees for a local project or scaling global merchandise, pairing world-class decoration expertise with premium blank apparel ensures your gear is built to last.
