What clients say

"The seeded-paper cards for our wildflower giveaway were beautifully finished and arrived a few days ahead of when we needed them. Residents have been posting photos of the blooms all spring — which is every community engagement lead's dream." — Tessa, Community Engagement Lead

"The Sense2 team understood the cultural sensitivity of our NAIDOC Week brief immediately — from artist consultation to packaging finish, everything felt considered. Delivery was faster than we'd hoped and the kits were photographed at every event." — Amara, Director of Communications

"We've reordered our preparedness go-bags with Sense2 for three bushfire seasons running. They remember our brand codes beautifully, keep the compliance documentation ready for panel review, and always suggest something fresh for the campaign." — Harriet, Program Director

Frequently asked

What's the minimum order for government and council merchandise? Most lines start at 50-100 units, with no MOQ on many stocked items for ward-level or branch-level runs. Calico, jute and paper products can drop to 25 on pilot runs. For state-wide or multi-site rollouts of 2,000+ expect tiered pricing with 30-45% off the 100-qty tier — we build stepped quotes so procurement can see the maths clearly.

Can you provide Sedex, FSC and sustainability documentation for panel applications? Yes. Sense2 is a Sedex member (ZS1000018917) and holds a NSW Government Supplier Directory profile (122944). We supply FSC chain-of-custody certificates on paper products, rPET content verification on recycled polyester, PFAS-free certification on drinkware, and GOTS documentation on organic cotton apparel on request — ready for panel, standing-offer and procurement reviews.

How fast can you turn around emergency-response or media-moment briefs? Many core lines are branded in 1-4 business days, with 3-5 day express available on 400+ SKUs. After 30 years of public-sector briefs we know the season changes fast — preparedness kits, community engagement drops and media-moment merchandise can move through production and split-ship to multiple depots inside a week when the brief lands late.

What branding and printing methods work best for government campaigns? 1-6 colour screen print for logo-led rollouts, full-colour digital and edge-to-edge sublimation for campaign artwork with gradients or photography, laser engraving for recognition and long-service pieces, and embroidery for field and ranger uniforms. Our in-house studio checks artwork against WCAG contrast guidance and accommodates multilingual strap lines in the imprint layout.

Do you offer First Nations-designed merchandise for NAIDOC and Reconciliation Week? Yes. We work through consulted artist partnership pathways, with ethical sourcing documentation, tone-on-tone finishes and packaging that honours the work. We'll route your brief to the right cultural consultation process and provide artist-attribution documentation for community-facing materials.

Can Sense2 kit, split-ship and warehouse merchandise for multi-site council rollouts? Yes. We kit, split-ship to multiple council depots, ward offices, regional branches or campaign venues, and run timed-release dispatch for launch windows at no extra handling. Our Sydney warehouse dispatches nationwide — Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra, Adelaide, Perth, Brisbane and regional addresses on the same schedule.
