About Dixie

Dixie Souvenirs is a family owned business operating from Toowoomba in Queensland, Australia. Our solid reputation in the novelty sign industry is due to our aim of providing a ‘one stop shop’ which supplies our customers a large range of quality novelty number plates and novelty signs at an affordable price.

Our ethos is to be friendly, approachable and efficient offering our customers enthusiastic information on our products and actually delight in talking about and selling them!  We work had to offer same-day turnaround on orders, with the vast majority of cases being same-day dispatch. Custom orders may take longer to fulfil depending on the complexity.

We are also always happy to hear your feedback and suggestions on existing ranges or ideas for new products; after all, you our customers are our most important assets! Nathan & Allison are readily available to assist with any enquiries you have.

Flags: We also have a wide range of reasonably priced Australian, International and Novelty flags, which are available in many sizes ranging from sew on flag patches up to full 6ft x 3ft outdoor flagpole flags.

Beginnings: The novelty goods wholesaler Dixie Souvenirs was started in 1993 by Alan & Shirley Davidson, collectors of genuine USA plates, who on a USA visit saw the potential for novelty plates in Australia, and started Dixie.

Current Ownership:  After working tirelessly to establish the business, the Davidsons sold Dixie in 2001 and the business changed hands a few times and in 2021, the current owner of Dixie came along. Unreal Industries Pty Ltd is a small private family company operated by Nathan and Allison Jannusch since 2012. For Nathan & Allison owning Dixie is an exciting milestone in their lives and they bring to the company not only their cheerful & friendly natures but many years of experience in the novelty sector. They bring new determination and invigoration, with a solid business plan to connect with customers and their needs and build upon the company’s strengths in wholesaling as well as creating a presence with alternate product lines.

Location: The business operates on acreage outside of Toowoomba in South East Queensland.

Custom made: We specialize in custom ‘design your own’ novelty plates, signs and frames and we can do ‘one-offs’ or sequentially numbered number plates for rallies or events.
