Fully sublimated paddling singlets for Australian dragon boat crews and clubs.
Melbourne Merch is building out a dedicated sports programme, and dragon boat is one of the first codes on it. Every singlet is a sleeveless, fitted cut, sublimated edge to edge, built for the shoulder freedom paddling needs. Paddler names and numbers are included in the price, not an add-on. Most crews run one design for training and the same (or a matching) design for regatta day, both quoted the same way.
Every singlet is fully sublimated, so a different paddler name and number on every unit costs the same as printing them all blank. There's no per-name or per-number fee. Bigger crews land in a lower tier automatically, from a small training squad through to a full club roster across multiple boats. Every job is still priced fresh against current rates rather than off an old spreadsheet.
Send us your club or crew colours, logo and paddler list (names and numbers if you're using them). Tell us if you need one design or separate training and regatta designs.
We send back a singlet mockup with your design, so you can see exactly what prints before anything is made.
Once you sign off the mockup and the full paddler list, production starts. Sublimated singlets can't be corrected after printing, so this step matters.
Your crew's singlets are cut and sewn as one batch by our sublimation partner, 15-20 business days from sign-off.
Collect from our Moorabbin workshop, or we post the finished singlets straight to your club or your organiser.
See our full range of sport jerseys for other codes. Complete kits, including training wear and sideline jackets, are on our sports teamwear page. We're also building pages for roller derby and ultimate frisbee kit.
Singlets are just the start. We can brand everything your club wears and carries off the water too, in the same order.
No. Because dragon boat singlets are fully sublimated from scratch, printing a different name and number on every singlet costs the same as printing them all blank. It's built into the price.
Five singlets. Under five units is priced as a sample rather than a crew run.
We have a heavier, closer-fitting fabric upgrade available. We're confirming its fit and stretch performance for paddling with our production partner before we offer it as a firm option, ask us for the latest when you enquire.
No, one design covers both if you want it to. Some clubs run a separate simpler training singlet and a full club-design regatta singlet, either way, both are quoted the same way.
15-20 business days from when you sign off the artwork and paddler list, through production and delivery or pickup.
Yes. We build dedicated online stores so each paddler orders their own size directly.
Yes, shorts, tees and hoodies, and supporter merch, all built to match your singlet design in one job.
