Who We Are

40+ Years

Creating first impressions for three generations.

Times may change. First impressions don’t

Kosdown has been evolving for three generations. All that’s changed in the past 40 years is the technology. Our values and focus haven’t. Exceptional customer service and an unrivalled commitment to quality are still the cornerstones of our business. Our printing is still in-house, our directors are still fully hands-on, and we still give 100% to ensure every job enhances your brand reputation.

Our story goes back three generations

We’re still a family-owned business with a big heart and have been for more than 40 years.

From our humble beginnings as a family business, today we’re a sophisticated, state-of-the-art pre-press, printing, finishing and distribution house.

Sustain and Gain

Sustain and Gain

We have been committed to sustainable printing long before it became a talking point. To us sustainable printing is more than just being environmentally aware, it also makes economic sense and is a smarter way to do business. Head here to learn more about how Kosdown practices sustainability in print.

We Think In Ink

We Think In Ink

At Kosdown we really do think in ink, indeed when it comes to printing there’s not much we don’t know or can’t do.

From a simple one colour flyer all the way through to case-bound multi-coloured documents with embellishment, whether a project is large, small, complex or straight forward, at Kosdown we can do it. We run two A2+ offset presses 24 hours a day, and unlike many printers we can do all binding, stitching, forme-cutting and more in-house.

We were the first printers in Australia to import an Anapurna P272 6 colour large format digital printer and an Aristo Cutting Table, giving us unsurpassed large format printing and cutting capabilities.

And whether it’s that simple flyer or a huge project, you can be assured that we treat every job with the same care, concern and attention.

Knowledge Passion Commitment

Knowledge Passion Commitment

Our passion for print is generations old, and that passion is just as strong today as it was when the Downie family first opened Kosdown.

We still print for our very first client and have dozens of customers who have been with us for decades; just as we have many staff who have also been with us for decades.

We believe in sharing our passion and knowledge, so we ensure we always have apprentices as part of the team, and continually train every other member of staff.

We are committed to maintaining that passion and maintaining our commitment to being the printer’s printer. At Kosdown our passion for print is what transforms ordinary jobs into extraordinary ones.

Kosdown capability, what we do
and what we stand for.
