1010 Printing has opened an office in Brisbane to service the publishing industry in Australia and New Zealand.  Located on Park Road in Milton, the office is a stone’s throw from two major bookstores which Sales Director, Tiffany Johnson, says is a “very useful reference to keep track of what books are being released in the market”.

Tiffany and Simone Delos, the Sales Support Coordinator, have been visiting publishers and increasing the awareness of 1010 Printing by sponsoring different industry events. 1010 has enjoyed a good reputation since its beginning through close relationships with a couple of major publishers in Australia and New Zealand. But the service we can provide by having an office on the ground will help build that reputation even more and develop 1010 as the “go to” printer in this market.

For any enquiries, please call the office on 07 3876 4633
