Northside Print & Design

What Northside Print & Design does

Northside Print & Design is a privately held, owner-operated commercial printing business headquartered in Brighton, Queensland, with a contact address on Kennedy Street, Sandgate. The company serves primarily small to medium businesses across Brisbane's Northside suburbs (Albion, Ascot, Chermside, Nundah, Sandgate, and 20+ others), with secondary customers including individual consumers, real estate agents, and construction and event organizers. It also offers Australia-wide delivery for most catalog items.

The product catalog spans roughly 20 categories covering business stationery (business cards, letterheads, with-comps slips), marketing collateral (flyers, brochures, posters, magazines, presentation folders), signage (A-frames, banners, pull-up banners, rigid signs, window graphics), specialty items (stickers, magnets, NCR carbonless books, drink coasters, invitations, loyalty cards), and branded promotional merchandise (pens, USBs, drink bottles, lanyards, confectionery). Production relies on a mix of digital printing, offset printing for high-volume runs, and UV printing for durable outdoor signage, with an HP Indigo 7800 used for premium offset-quality prints. A same-day printing service operates for select digital print jobs with a 10am order and payment cut-off.

The business model is transaction-based, one-time product sales supplemented by paid graphic design services at A$50+GST per hour. Go-to-market is a self-serve e-commerce storefront at shop.northsideprint.com.au paired with phone and email-based direct sales for custom quotes, plus same-day and next-day local pickup from Brighton. Marketing relies on the company website, suburb-specific local SEO pages, a Facebook page, and word-of-mouth within the Brisbane Northside community. The company states it can match or beat competitor pricing. No funding rounds, parent company, M&A activity, partnerships, or certifications are disclosed.
