What Focus Print Group does

Focus Print Group (legally Focus Press Pty Limited) is an Australian family-owned printing company founded in 1987 by the Shergill family as a small shop front in Marrickville. The company has grown into one of Australia's more diversified print manufacturers, operating over 12,000 square metres of in-house production facilities with headquarters in South Granville (Sydney) and a regional office in Melbourne, serving customers nationwide. Core production technology is built on offset (lithographic) and flexographic printing, supplemented by finishing capabilities including celloglazing, UV spot varnish, foil stamping across 50+ colours, and embossing/debossing. Food sleeves are FDA 21 CFR Part 175 certified and freezer/fridge approved.

The product portfolio is organised across three divisions: Packaging (folding cartons, food sleeves, corrugated boxes, litho laminated packaging, cake boxes, ovenable lids and trays), Flexible Packaging (printed rewinds, stretch sleeves, stand-up pouches, box bottom bags), and General Printing (flyers and leaflets, booklets and catalogues, business forms, door hangers). Supporting services include in-house prepress and design, collating and packing, and warehousing and logistics. The company also offers a customised client portal for online ordering, artwork uploads and team access, plus the Infinity Medical Stationery specialty line. Recent corporate activity includes the acquisition of Reactiv (2024).

The business runs on a hybrid go-to-market model combining direct field sales in Sydney and Melbourne, a self-service client portal for existing accounts, and WeTransfer for ad-hoc file intake. Pricing is predominantly quote-based on custom specifications; the only publicly disclosed reference price is door hangers starting at AUD $29.99 for 500 units. The customer base skews to SMBs and micro-businesses (e.g., cafe owners, fitness operators, market-stall retailers), with vertical concentrations in food and beverage and beauty/cosmetics, and selected enterprise accounts such as Infinity Medical Stationery in healthcare. The company is privately held with no disclosed external investors or funding rounds, and CEO Mark Shergill leads operations under continued family ownership.
