Digitees

Who It Is

Digitees is a New Zealand-owned custom clothing printer that also runs free print-on-demand merch stores for sellers, with every order printed in New Zealand. Its homepage calls it "NEW ZEALAND'S MOST RECOMMENDED T-SHIRT PRINTERS" and sums the business up as custom clothing, merch stores and print on demand, "printed right here in New Zealand." The slogan is "CREATE IT. WEAR IT. SELL IT." A banner across the top promises custom printing to order in NZ, 3 to 5 working days plus shipping, and free NZ shipping over $300, and the About block adds "All orders are printed in New Zealand."

The company prints by DTG, DTF, screen printing and embroidery, and lists promotional products among its services. The services menu also has pages on dropshipping, fundraising, suppliers and sustainability, and the company sells gift certificates. Fundraising shows up in the design shop too, as the Got Your Back Fundraising collection. It sells to individuals, clubs, schools and businesses who want their own printed clothing, and to sellers who want a store without stock. For this directory the merch store is the central offer: a seller uploads designs, sets prices, and Digitees prints, packs and ships each order to the customer.

What A Seller Gets

The "Sell Your Own Merch" section promises that a seller can "launch your own online merch store in minutes," with no upfront cost, no stock and no stress. The steps are short: upload your designs, set your own prices ("your profit!"), and "We print, pack & ship directly to your customers." Further down the page the offer reappears as "OPEN A FREE WEBSTORE," with "Dropship your merch! No risk, no hassle, no stock to manage. We handle it all - printing, payment, and shipping to your customer." The homepage checklist includes "Dropship direct to your customers for free!"

The selling points listed for the store are no minimum orders ("sell 1 or 1000"), "Full print-on-demand dropshipping," a "Huge range of apparel + merch," control over pricing and profit, and "We help promote your brand (20k+ audience)." The stores are pitched at side hustles, artists and designers, sports teams and schools, businesses and brands, and fundraisers, charities and events. A store directory shows live stores, and customer stores named on the page include She Is Not Your Rehab, Together for Te Tiriti, Mr G Apparel, NZCTU, Te Taumata o Apanui, Whakatōhea Merch, NZNO, NZ Street Merch & Apparel and Kauae Raro. A Store Set up Service sits in the menu beside free webstore help videos. The Help Center has sections on merch store pricing and payments, orders and fulfillment, troubleshooting and marketing a merch store.

The site names no outside store platform. The dropshipping route runs through the Digitees webstore, which handles payment as well as printing and shipping.

The Catalog

Digitees claims "NZ's biggest range of print on demand products," and the category counts on the homepage give its size: 262 products for men, 129 for women, 83 for youth and kids, 70 headwear, 39 bags, 46 accessories and merch, 81 hoodies, 81 sports and quick dry fabric items and 41 hi vis safety garments, with 22 best sellers, 4 same day dispatch products and 16 on sale or clearance.

Alongside blanks for a seller's own designs, the company runs its own design shop. Its collections include Funny (217 products), Kids (213), Personalised Santa Sacks (128), Gifts For Him (103), Gifts for Her (71), Wedding, Anniversary & Valentine's (47), Fitness/Exercise (43), Christmas Tees (41), New Zealand / Kiwiana (41), Pregnancy Announcement (37), Birthday (27), Teacher's Gifts (16), Leavers Gear (10) and Got Your Back Fundraising (7).

Ordering, Pricing And Delivery

Custom orders follow three steps: select a style from the catalog, upload artwork or design in the online designer, then choose sizes and quantities and check out. The site says the designer means "No more waiting for proofs," and customers who need help can email their design. A Quick Quote form covers larger jobs.

"Our minimum order is one item and bulk discounts are automatically applied starting at 5+." The company adds "We have no set up fees for most of our print processes," offers a Price Match Guarantee, and says its printing is "backed with a money-back guarantee." Prices are shown in the online designer rather than on the homepage.

Delivery times are stated two ways. The banner gives 3 to 5 working days plus shipping. The Speedy Delivery block says standard orders take up to 5 working days plus overnight courier, with a 3 working day rush order service, and an asterisk on both notes "except at peak times such as before Christmas." Shipping within New Zealand is free over $300. The footer links to shipping information, a returns policy and a price match page.

Uses And Support

The gallery groups past work by customer type: work uniforms, sports team uniforms, schools and leavers gear, kindergartens and playcentres, fitness merch, clubs, causes, events, brands, bands and musicians, public figures, family reunion clothing, memorial and funeral wear, car racing and speedway, artists and graphic designers, pets and animals, weddings and stag dos, church merch and barber shops. The homepage shows recent DTF and DTG prints side by side.

The company cites "Thousands of five star reviews" in one place and "hundreds of five star reviews for our fast and friendly local customer service" in another. Support is by phone on (07) 574 8987 and by email at sales@digitees.co.nz, and the Help Center covers artwork files, printing and embroidery, products and garments, and production and delivery.

Who It Suits

Digitees suits a New Zealand artist, band, school, club, charity or small brand that wants a free merch store with no stock, printed and shipped locally within the stated working days plus courier, and the option to order the same designs in bulk with automatic discounts from 5 pieces. The wide catalog, including hi vis and sports fabrics, helps sellers who need more than T-shirts. It suits less well a seller who already runs a store on another platform and wants orders routed in automatically, since the dropshipping model runs through Digitees' own webstore.
