Managed Offshore Print Production
Offshore Print Savings.
Zero Offshore Risk.
Tier-1 Asian production with Australian oversight, fixed landed costs, and a local team accountable for every job.
The savings from offshore print are real. So is the risk of going direct. We remove the risk so you can keep the savings.
the real cost
Australian Print Costs More.
That Doesn't Mean You Have to Pay It.
Here's how they actually compare.
Australian businesses pay 30–45% more for print than equivalent offshore production.
What stops most businesses claiming that saving is the risk of going direct — quality failures, missed deadlines and no local recourse can wipe out every dollar saved.
We remove that risk. Factory-direct pricing. Australian accountability. Your saving, our responsibility.

See the Numbers First
We produce physical samples before any production run starts.
Your team compares them directly against your current supplier — colour, paper, finishing. We only proceed when you're satisfied.It means planning ahead — which most clients find easy once it's built into their calendar. For urgent jobs, we air-freight a smaller quantity to protect your deadline while the main run follows by sea.
We're your legally accountable Australian partner — not a broker who disappears. Every shipment is fully insured. Problems are ours to resolve, not yours.
Yes. The projected saving is the landed cost saving — freight, customs duty and GST are all included in your quote. What you see is what you pay.
Most categories work best at 5,000–10,000 units and above. Below $50,000 annual print spend, we'll tell you honestly if the saving is worth the switch.
Yes — and we recommend it. Most clients start with their highest-volume category, verify the quality and process, then expand from there.
You don't have to move everything at once. Many clients keep specialist or time-sensitive jobs local and use us for high-volume repeatable categories.
We manage everything — classification, clearance, duty and GST compliance — and include it all in your upfront quote. No surprises.
Most clients have a full cost comparison within 48 hours of the audit call.
