Wholesale Print NZ

What Wholesale Print NZ does

Wholesale Print NZ is a New Zealand trade-only wholesale printing business operated as a trading style of Excel Digital Limited, with its production hub at 16-18 Cashew Street, Grenada North, Wellington. It serves registered and approved trade customers only, including graphic designers, print resellers, sign writers, and other print professionals; end consumers are structurally excluded. The product range covers business cards, books and booklets, calendars, stationery and folders, NCR products, labels and stickers, leaflets and rack cards, large-format prints, banners, signage, posters, canvas prints, and greeting cards.

The technical platform combines four distinct printing technologies: an A1 Komori Lithrone G37 offset press (15,000 sheets/hour, H-UV curing), a Konica Minolta AccurioPRESS C14000 digital press (52–450 gsm stocks, up to 140 A4 ppm), a Truepress Jet 520 high-speed inkjet line positioned for short-to-medium-run and variable-data work, and a wide-format line for signage and banners. A complete in-house finishing department handles perfect binding, spot UV, case binding, drilling, saddle stapling, die-cutting, shrink/flow wrapping, laminating, trimming, and folding.

The business model is quote-based, transaction-by-transaction wholesale pricing for approved trade customers, with orders placed through the PrintIQ/Redshift online portal, tracked via TouchPrint, and delivered nationwide by Post Haste. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; unbranded packaging and unmarked boxes preserve trade customers' resale positioning. There are no disclosed named end customers, no public revenue figure, no institutional investors, and no subsidiaries; ownership rests with Excel Digital Limited.
