Custom Photo Imaging

What Custom Photo Imaging does

Custom Photo Imaging is a Perth-based professional photo printing and finishing lab operating from a single retail and production location in East Rockingham, Western Australia. The company's core offering is custom photo printing on Epson pigment ink printers using archival papers and media from Canson and Ilford, available across formats including small prints, large format, canvas, metal, and wooden prints. Supporting services include custom framing, canvas stretching, matted and foam core mounting, film development, professional photo scanning and digitization, and exhibition printing for galleries and photographers.

The business holds dual certifications as an Ilford Certified Printer and a Canson Master Printer — credentials the company states are held by only a few labs in Australia — and applies professional colour management processes to support exhibition-quality output. Customers access the service either through the physical storefront or through a custom online ordering platform at onlinephotoprinting.com.au, which supports unlimited cloud-based photo storage and integrates with Dropbox and Google Drive for direct reordering.

Commercially, Custom Photo Imaging operates a hybrid direct-to-consumer model targeting individual consumers, professional photographers and studios, wedding clients, schools and sports teams, and artists and galleries. Revenue is generated through one-time transactional print sales, custom framing and canvas stretching, professional services, and white-label printing, mounting, packaging, and posting for professional photographers delivered under the photographer's branding. Pricing is quote-based rather than listed publicly, and the operating footprint is restricted to a single domestic Australian market with no disclosed revenue, funding, or headcount growth data.

Scale indicators1 record

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• Shutterfly: Large US-based online photo printing, gift and stationery platform. Comparable on the consumer photo-printing category and e-commerce ordering mechanics, though it does not serve the Australian market directly.
• Officeworks Photo Printing: National Australian office and print retailer offering in-store photo printing services. Operates broadly in the same consumer photo-output category but at a mass-market price point, not a fine-art specialty niche.
• Harvey Norman Photo Centre: Large Australian electronics and home retailer offering photo printing services alongside a wide product portfolio. Overlaps with Custom Photo Imaging on consumer prints and framing but does not specialise in fine-art pro work.
• Big W Photo Printing: Discount Australian retailer offering low-cost photo printing as part of a broad general merchandise assortment. Competes only at the entry-level consumer print tier, not Custom Photo Imaging's premium segment.
• Snapfish: Long-standing online photo printing and gift platform operating in Australia. Comparable on direct-to-consumer online ordering but focused on mass-market prints, not archival or exhibition-grade output.

Emerging players

• Printful: Global print-on-demand platform serving creators and small businesses with photo, poster and merchandise printing. Comparable on the white-label/creator-fulfilment business model Custom Photo Imaging offers to photographers.
• Gelato: Global print-on-demand network connecting creators to local production hubs. Operates a similar white-label creator-fulfilment model to Custom Photo Imaging's photographer service, though at significantly larger geographic scale.

Direct peers

• Momento: Australian professional photo printing service specialising in photo books, prints and gifts for photographers. Directly comparable to Custom Photo Imaging's pro-photographer white-label and exhibition offering, both serving Australian imaging professionals.

Regional players

• Nation Photo: Australian online photo printing service offering standard and large-format prints with national shipping. Comparable on the e-commerce photo printing category for Australian consumers, though it competes on price rather than fine-art certification.

Others

• Fujifilm Australia Photo Printing: Major imaging brand offering consumer and pro photo printing services in Australia via its online and retail channels. Comparable as an ecosystem participant in the Australian photo output supply chain, not a direct head-to-head competitor for fine-art work.
