What Screenmakers does

Screenmakers Pty Ltd is an Australian privately held fabrication and graphic reproduction business headquartered at 15 Paterson Parade, Queanbeyan NSW, serving primarily the Canberra region. The company operates a single integrated production model that brings digital printing, screen printing, computer-cut vinyl graphics, mounting and laminating, sandblasting, plastic fabrication, welding and sheet metal work, basic joinery, spray painting, and laser-cut/routered graphics under one roof, allowing it to deliver complete signage and display projects from design through fabrication to installation without subcontracting core disciplines. Founded approximately in 1993, it has executed high-profile projects including the Canberra Metro Light Rail signage package, multiple exhibitions for the National Museum of Australia and Questacon, and signage for the Australian War Memorial's Eastern Entrance.

Its product portfolio centres on interpretive signage, wayfinding systems, exhibition displays (including illuminated and non-illuminated acrylic panels), and bespoke promotional graphics, with pricing structured around project-based quotes rather than disclosed rates. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales targeting federal and ACT government institutions, museums, transport hubs, defence facilities, and a smaller base of property developers and professional services firms in Canberra, complemented by a website portfolio, a Journal/Blog, and a Facebook presence. Revenue is generated primarily as one-time project fees for design, fabrication, and installation, with the company reporting 11–50 employees, founder/management-led ownership, and no disclosed institutional investment.
