About Doree
Queensland's Largest Embroidery Company, Trading Since 1934
For more than 90 years, Doree has decorated garments for Queensland — growing from a family embroidery business into the state's largest embellishment company. Scale, longevity and in-house capability across embroidery, screen printing and print, all under one Brisbane roof.
Scale
Scale: machines, capacity and daily output
Doree is the largest embellishment company in Queensland — a claim grounded in capacity, not just floor space.
Under one Brisbane roof we run close to 150 embroidery heads alongside automatic screen printing and digital transfer (DTF) printing. That combination lets us decorate large volumes in a single day — [confirm exact daily output figure] — and run several big orders at once without pushing out timelines. Every logo is digitised in-house and stored, so bulk runs stay consistent from the first garment to the last, and reorders reproduce exactly.
Being the largest isn't only about machine count. It's the capacity to absorb peak demand, the breadth to handle embroidery and print in the same job, and the systems to keep thousands of individual garments organised, decorated and out the door on schedule.
Since 1934
92 years of continuous trading
Doree has been trading continuously since 1934 — more than 90 years, and counting.
Ninety-two years is a long time in any industry, and it's rare in decoration. Over those decades Doree has grown from an early embroidery business into Queensland's largest embellishment company, moving through every shift in the craft — from manual and early mechanised embroidery to today's computerised multi-head machines and digital printing. That continuity matters: it means deep institutional knowledge of how garments, threads and methods behave, and a track record of reliability a newer operation simply can't claim. When you place an order with Doree, you're working with a business that has been getting decoration right for generations.
Who relies on us
Clients who trust Doree at scale
Scale is only useful if it's dependable, and a broad range of Queensland organisations rely on ours.
We decorate for businesses and institutions of every size, across sectors including:
- Mining & resources — hi-vis and PPE workwear.
- Corporate & professional — branded uniforms.
- Schools & P&C associations — crests and blazers.
- Sporting clubs & events — team and promo gear.
- Government & healthcare — staff uniforms.
- Uniform & promo companies — trade and white-label.
Many of these are recurring, high-volume relationships where consistency across reorders is essential — the same logo, the same colours, run after run. We also work behind the scenes for other uniform and promotional companies, decorating on trade terms under their own brand.
Capability, not just size
How we compare on capability, not just size
Size gets attention, but capability is what keeps clients with us. Doree is built to be versatile and consistent, not just big.
Every method, one roof
Embroidery, screen printing, DTF and heat transfer in one place — so mixed-method jobs are handled by one team and one point of contact.
Set up once, stored
Every logo is digitised by our own design team and kept on file, giving crisp, consistent results and fast, faithful reorders.
Accurate brand colour
We stitch with Madeira premium thread — a German-made range of 200-plus colours — for accurate, durable brand colour every time.
The same, at volume
Stored setups and disciplined production mean the last garment in a run matches the first — order after order, year after year.
