Important Dates

Public holidays, closure dates, and key shipping deadlines for the year ahead.

Stay up to date with our important business dates, public holiday closures, and seasonal production notices. We keep this page updated throughout the year so you can plan your custom apparel and merchandise orders with confidence.

While our online store is available 24/7, our production studio occasionally closes for New Zealand public holidays and a small number of planned breaks. These dates may affect production and dispatch times, particularly during busy periods such as Easter and Christmas.

If your order is needed for a specific event, tournament, fundraiser, school function, or business promotion, we recommend placing it as early as possible. Ordering ahead gives us plenty of time to produce your garments and helps avoid unnecessary stress around holiday periods.

The calendar below lists all upcoming studio closures and other important dates that may affect production or shipping.

How Public Holidays Affect Your Order

When our studio is closed for a public holiday, production temporarily pauses until the next business day. Orders can still be placed online at any time, but printing, artwork approvals, production and dispatch will resume once we're back in the studio.

During particularly busy times of the year, such as the lead-up to Christmas, Easter, or other major holiday periods, production schedules can fill quickly. If your order has a deadline, we strongly recommend getting in touch or placing your order as early as possible. We'll always do our best to meet your timeframe and will let you know if any important dates could affect delivery.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I place an order while you're closed?

Absolutely. Our website accepts orders 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Any orders received during a closure will begin processing when our studio reopens.

Do public holidays affect production times?

Yes. Production does not take place while our studio is closed, so public holidays may add an extra business day or more to your order's turnaround time.

Should I order early before Christmas or Easter?

Yes. These are some of our busiest times of the year, and production capacity can fill well in advance. Ordering early gives you the best chance of receiving your order before your required date.

Will courier deliveries be affected by public holidays?

Courier networks may also operate on reduced schedules or close on public holidays, which can affect delivery times. We recommend allowing a little extra time if your order is being shipped around these dates.

Where can I find upcoming closure dates?

We keep the calendar on this page updated with all planned public holiday closures and any other important production notices, so it's always the best place to check before placing your order.
