Offset Printing for export to Australia
Offset Printing are among the lines we supply most into Australia, where food processing and retail make up much of the industrial base.
Offset Printing for Australia
Demand in Australia is built on food processing, beverage bottling, agri-inputs and retail. Food processing and retail in particular buy this range steadily, and the work is repeat work — the die, the material code and the colour target stay on file so a reorder is a phone call rather than a fresh setup.
What decides the specification
With offset printing the question is always registration held across a long run, and colour read against an approved target. Australia conditions are manageable, so the job turns on registration and colour consistency across the run rather than on the substrate surviving the climate there.
Offset earns its place on long runs, fine text and exact colour. Below the crossover quantity digital is honestly the better answer and we will say so.
A Australia order for offset printing arrives against a seasonal pack calendar, so the reorder is usually the same die with a new flavour panel. What already moves from our floor to Australia is food and beverage labels and supplement labels, so a offset printing enquiry from Australia is normally priced and consolidated alongside those. Nhava Sheva to Melbourne, Sydney or Fremantle is the leg it travels, and a temperate destination is what the board and the ink film have to be specified against for Australia.
Where this sits against Australia rules
Which rules apply depends on what the label goes onto. The regime your importer works to in Australia is FSANZ Food Standards Code, Country of Origin Food Labelling with the kangaroo and bar chart mark, allergen declarations, metric units — and the pack language is English. None of that is what you are specifying when you buy offset printing, but it is what the rest of your Australia consignment travels under, so it is worth knowing which of your items it catches and which it does not.
Getting it to Australia
Nhava Sheva to Melbourne, Sydney or Fremantle — 18 to 26 days. 26 days in a container is long enough for the hold to swing between damp nights and hot afternoons many times over. Landing into Australia, the usual complaint is not failure but curl at the liner edge, which becomes a storage question once the offset printing are off the ship.

Questions
Offset Printing in Australia — questions we are asked
Do you supply offset printing in Australia?
Yes. Everything is manufactured at our own works in Rajouri Garden, New Delhi and despatched from there. Nhava Sheva to Melbourne, Sydney or Fremantle — 18 to 26 days.
What do Australia customers use offset printing for?
Food processing and retail mainly. Food and beverage labels, supplement labels, industrial labels, barcode media — this range covers the part of that list it applies to.
Is there a minimum order for offset printing to Australia?
No fixed minimum for offset printing. Australia consignments are quoted per job and usually consolidated with the other lines going the same way, which is what makes a smaller Australia run workable. Nhava Sheva to Melbourne, Sydney or Fremantle — 18 to 26 days.
How do Australia buyers usually order offset printing?
Against a seasonal pack calendar, so the reorder is usually the same die with a new flavour panel — that is the pattern across most of our Australia work in this range. Tell us the quantity and the reorder interval and we will quote the die and the material once, then hold both on file for Australia repeats.
