Kosdown Printing
At Kosdown we were the first in Victoria to introduce water and chemical free plate making, and we only use 100% vegetable and soy based inks; technologies which save up to 150,000 litres of water a year, whilst being far safer for our staff and the environment.
We buy our paper and print in bulk lots wherever possible, reducing delivery and CO2 emissions; resulting in cheaper and more environmentally friendly runs. We're Waste Wise certified and were one of the first printers in Australia to be FSC® accredited.
We are proud to say we were winners of the 2008 CitiPower Port Phillip Environmental Sustainably Award, and we will continue to embrace and develop further environmentally sustainable print practices for the benefit of everyone's future.
For over two decades Kosdown has been putting ink to paper. And whilst the technology has certainly changed our core beliefs and focus haven't. Quality, reliability, care and customer service always have been, and always will be the central values of our business.
From our humble beginnings as a family business, the Kosdown of today is a sophisticated, state-of-the-art pre-press, printing and finishing house, producing work to the highest quality, 24 hours a day. At Kosdown, we think in ink.
