Friends of Gig Buddies Sydney

We’re extremely passionate about making merch good!

We started out printing t-shirts for friends bands in our local scene. This grew slowly over time into the business we have today.

Now, our staff have over 30 years combined experience working within the industry. We print and embroider on 600+ products for all types of businesses.

We have a simple mission - to create the best products possible. We’ve done the hard work and sourced the best merch on the planet - so you don’t have to.
