What we’re all about
It all started in a humble garage. In 2011, Jared Fullinfaw began printing and selling his own t-shirts in the outer suburbs of Brisbane. His trusty headquarters? Their family garage (Thanks, Mum). By 2012 a bunch of other people were lining up to have Jared print their merch and so, The Print Bar was born. A decade and two locations later, we house a talented team of 35 who all embody The Print Bar’s values and vision. We’re a big small business. We empower people to explore their creativity through print and design. Our team loves making dreams tangible, which is why we encourage everyone to say something on something. We’re the wholehearted printer — your friendly, accessible, local print company who empowers you to make an impact. We’re here to make you visible, whether you’re starting a business, making a special occasion memorable, raising awareness for an event or cause, or fuelling your appetite for all things creative. We want to be part of your story, from thinking to making to doing.

Our Story and What Makes Us ‘Us’
Our Founding

Like most ideas, The Print Bar came from humble beginnings. In 2011 a passionate creative, Jared Fullinfaw, started printing and selling his own t-shirts from his home in the outer suburbs of Brisbane. He discovered that more and more people and local businesses wanted their own custom designs printed and that there wasn't an easy way to go about this. This was the motivation for starting The Print Bar.
The Meaning of Creativity

Today the company's core values run much deeper. We aim to inspire creativity. This begins with the intrinsic meaning behind every shirt we print, whether helping unite a small business, making a special occasion memorable, raising awareness for an event or simply fuelling people's creativity, we want to help people share their ideas.
A Second Home

The Print Bar isn’t just a business, it’s a creative community built on inclusivity, trust, and freedom of expression. The goal has always been to provide a safe space where businesses and creatives can connect and uplift each other.
In 2021 we opened our second location in Naarm / Melbourne so we can offer a more personalised service to our friends down south.

Responsibility

Every action has a lasting impact, and we make our services and operations as eco-forward and socially responsible as possible. Customers can be assured of integrity in everything we do; absolutely no greenwashing. When we say we care about the environment and the humans that drive our business, we mean it — and we want to do better for them. We still have a long way to go, but we constantly find ways to improve our sourcing and manufacturing practices to have a more positive impact on the planet, our customers, and our team. We value the trust given to us and promise to always: be human first, minimise waste, and be transparent.
Our stance on ethics and the environment
Always strive to do good and be good for people and the planet — this is a non-negotiable pillar of how we think and act at The Print Bar. Some of our environmentally conscious efforts are: Using 100% FSC-certified Kraft mailers that can be recycled in your kerbside recycling Working with ReGround to collect and recycle 100% of soft plastic waste produced in-house and sent to us by suppliers and customers Recycling 100% of waste paper and cardboard Partnering with Upparel to collect and recycle waste garments and fabric Printing around 60% of garments using water based inks with the goal of reaching 100% by the end of 2023 Using rayon threads made from wood pulp for embroidery services. To encourage proactive and conscious action within the industry, we only work with like-minded suppliers who stand by their own social responsibility standards and pro-environment efforts.
