The idea for VARSGEPARS was born during the COVID lockdown — more specifically over a cup of coffee under the porch of the former Rebellie Restaurant in Orania. We realised there was a need for a place that could deliver fast and professional printing: from T-shirts to corporate gifts. That’s when we decided to use our passion and creativity to make a difference and give something positive back to our community.
To get the business off the ground, we worked closely with experts in the printing industry, invested in high-quality equipment, and continually expanded our knowledge. Over time, we added an industrial embroidery machine and completed international digitising courses — which we passed with distinction. High-quality digitising enables us to create unique, creative embroidery designs that stand out both technically and aesthetically.
As technology continues to evolve, we have already upgraded to more modern printers three times since 2020 to ensure excellent quality. We were one of the first businesses in South Africa to switch to DTF printing — currently the most advanced method for printing T-shirts. This means that our customers have access to world-class quality printing.
Our driving force? Quality and creativity.
At VARSGEPARS, we believe in teamwork, practical training, and the development of young talent. We proudly create job opportunities for people of Orania and work together with enthusiasm every day. Ultimately, it’s not just about printing, but about people, pride, and the joy of creating something fresh and beautiful.
