Project Local: Plastisol Beach Screenprinting

A Collaboration of Craft: Volare’s New Merch with Mt Maunganui’s Plastisol Beach

We’re thrilled to launch our new Volare merch line, crafted in collaboration with Plastisol Beach Screenprinting. This collection is more than just tees and totes; it’s a celebration of local artistry and the love of craftsmanship.

Plastisol Beach, run by the talented duo Christian and Sally, has been perfecting the art of screen printing in Mt Maunganui for eight years. They specialize in quality, durable prints, drawing from years of experience to ensure every piece they create is uniquely beautiful and stands the test of time. From their laid-back beachside studio, they’ve mastered the delicate, multi-layered process of screen printing, where every print is as personal as it is professional.

For this collection, we've focused on quality products and simple prints that will stand the test of time. Our custom-branded tote bags are spacious and stylish, while our reusable bread bags are a perfect eco-friendly addition for Volare fans. The tees come in signature hues and are soft, durable, and made for everyday wear. And for the beach lovers, we’ve got embroidered caps and a new bucket hat that combine style and sun protection.

Christian and Sally walked us through each step of their process, from the original design concept to the final printed piece. Their work, which they describe as a blend of skill, patience, and a love for handcrafting, brings a new level of artistry to each item in our line. Every print is carefully layered, with each color added by hand for precision, ensuring a top-notch final product. The end result? Unique, high-quality merchandise that speaks to Volare’s commitment to supporting local talent and providing our community with beautifully crafted goods.
