About Tendencies
Big enough
to deliver.
Small enough
to care.
Tendencies is a New Zealand-based merch, apparel and product sourcing partner. We help brands turn ideas into useful, well-made products — from uniforms and retail campaigns through to fully custom product development.
Design-led.
Supply-chain
smart.
Who We Are
We're a small team with direct factory relationships and sourcing capability out of Shenzhen. We sit between creative, sourcing and logistics — bridging the gap between what a brand imagines and what gets built, shipped, and delivered on time.
What We Do
Branded
Merchandise
Campaign giveaways, event product, and brand collateral that people actually want to keep.
Apparel &
Uniforms
Custom-designed workwear, branded apparel, and staff uniforms built to spec and to brand.
Teamwear &
Portals
Club and corporate teamwear with managed online ordering portals and fulfilment.
Custom Product
Development
End-to-end custom product — industrial design, moulding, sampling and finished production run.
Designed from
scratch.
When off-the-shelf isn't enough, we build it from the ground up. From initial concept and industrial design through moulding, sampling and approved production run — with full factory oversight and quality control at every stage.
How We Work
Design
Concept, product refinement, branding and usability — shaping the idea before anything goes near a factory.
Source
Materials, factories, production planning and approvals. We navigate the sourcing so you don't have to.
Deliver
Freight, kitting, campaign rollout and fulfilment — on time, on brand, to the right place.
We sit between creative, sourcing and delivery — so clients don't have to manage disconnected suppliers, offshore factories, decorators and logistics partners themselves.
Products built to brand standards — not just functional, but well-made enough to reflect where they come from.
We focus on what gets used, kept, and worn — not what looks good in a pitch deck and ends up in a cupboard.
Long-term supplier relationships, real lead times, and honest communication from brief to delivery.
Let's build
something.
Useful. On-brand. Made properly.
