Ashley Printers

What Ashley Printers does

Ashley Printers is a family-owned printing business established in 1994 and headquartered in Clontarf, Queensland, Australia, serving the North Brisbane and Redcliffe Peninsula market. The company operates both offset and digital colour printing equipment, producing a catalog of more than 30 SKUs organized into business cards, marketing materials (flyers, brochures, booklets, calendars, banners, corflute signs, pull-up banners, vinyl stickers, magnets), business essentials (letterheads, envelopes, notepads, presentation folders, receipt books, spiral-bound booklets, plan printing), and docket books (NCR carbonless forms). Specialty items include funeral booklets, memorial cards, self-publish books, and outdoor products printed with EcoSolvent inks for 3-5 year UV and weather durability. An in-house graphic design team offers logo creation and artwork preparation as an add-on service across the print catalog.

The company sells through three direct channels: self-serve website ordering (ashley-printers.com.au), phone sales ((07) 3889 3888), and walk-in consultations at the Clontarf office. Pricing is unit-based on each product (e.g., standard business cards from $65, deluxe business cards from $215, A4 full colour booklets from $201, presentation folders from $896, all ex GST), with quote-based pricing for custom requirements. Revenue is generated through one-time purchases of printed goods; the design service is positioned as a complementary professional service. Customer segments span SMBs (primary), schools and educational institutions, trades and construction (builders and tradespeople), hospitality and food service, and funeral services.

The business currently operates under new ownership and new management, as disclosed on its About page. Four named customer references illustrate long-tenured relationships: L J Hooker Kallangur (16 years), Adventist Schools Australia (16 years), All About Bakery Equipment (over a decade), and Dynamic Garage Doors and Operators. The company has no disclosed funding, no institutional investors, no parent company, no social media presence, and headcount of 1-10 employees, indicating a small, locally-focused operation.
