For the trade
Australian-manufactured promotional products from 50 units
We manufacture and decorate short-run merchandise in Smeaton Grange for promotional distributors, agencies and gift retailers. Trade pricing, protected client relationships, and direct access to the team making the product.
Practical minimums
Selected products from 50 units per design.
Local production
Cutting, printing and decoration at Smeaton Grange, NSW.
Clear turnaround
Confirmed production timing before the order is accepted.
Protected relationships
Your client, pricing and project information remain confidential.
The brief that doesn't fit a container
Your client wants a custom product, a smaller quantity and a short delivery window. Standard imported merchandise may not suit the brief.
We help promotional distributors fulfil selected small-run and locally manufactured projects without establishing another production supply chain.
Small-run, genuinely Australian-manufactured custom products can be difficult to source through the conventional promotional supply chain. That is the gap we fill — not every promotional brief, and not every quantity.
How it works
- 1
Submit the product, artwork, quantity and required date.
- 2
We confirm feasibility, net pricing and timing.
- 3
Review the mock-up and obtain client approval.
- 4
We manufacture, decorate, check and dispatch the order.
Production time begins after approved artwork, commercial acceptance and any required payment. The full process.
Protected client relationships
Visible before you open an account, and part of the terms you accept when you do.
- You retain ownership of the client relationship you introduce.
- We will not independently solicit a protected client of yours.
- We communicate through you unless you authorise direct contact.
- Your pricing, artwork and project information remain confidential.
- Neutral packaging and blind shipping are available where operationally practical.
- We identify and resolve potential account conflicts before quoting.
- Protection applies to identifiable opportunities and accounts recorded through the trade process.
- Existing direct Salt and Wattle accounts remain ours unless another arrangement is agreed.
Every brief you submit records your account, your end client, the project and the date of introduction. That record is what protection means operationally — an opportunity you haven't recorded isn't one we can identify.
What a trade account gets you
- Net pricing on the standard range. Published behind the account, with the minimum, the production time and the origin claim stated per product.
- One brief per client job. Products, quantities, decoration, artwork and the date — straight into our designers' queue, with the end client recorded as yours.
- The live stage of every job. In design, mockups ready, approved, in production, shipped. No chasing.
- Reorders keep the artwork. We hold the print-ready files, so a repeat run skips the design stage entirely.
- Card or invoice. New accounts start on card at approval; once we've traded and run a credit check we can move you onto invoice terms.
Larger quantities
If a successful design later requires a substantially larger production run, we can assess local and offshore production options.
The production method, origin, specification, lead time and pricing are quoted separately. We will not describe an offshore product as identical to the local one until samples and specifications have been approved.
Trade accounts see net pricing and can brief us on any job.
