Our History
Our Journey: From Printing Shed to Industry Leader
The Early Years: 1960s
From humble beginnings in a tin shed in Sydney’s Newtown, Royelltone Prints began its journey with basic screen-printing equipment and a commitment to quality. Our reputation for excellence quickly led to expansion, and within a year, we moved to larger premises while remaining in the vibrant inner west. During our nine years in Newtown, we invested in cutting-edge film technology, bringing all production in-house.
Growth and Evolution: 1970s
Continued success prompted our move to Marrickville, where we became Allprint Industries. This period marked our expansion into offset printing, broadening our capabilities and client offerings.
Resilience Through Challenge: 1980s
1980 saw a major facilities upgrade, with production streamlined across two levels. When fire struck in February 1981, destroying our top floor, the swift action of firefighters saved our essential equipment. Within a week, we had relocated to Dulwich Hill and resumed operations—a testament to our resilience and dedication.
In 1983, we became Allprint Graphics, reflecting our evolution into a diverse graphics solutions provider.
Modern Era: 1990s-Present
October 1992 marked another milestone with our move to purpose-built premises in Rydalmere. This facility enabled us to expand our capabilities significantly, investing in:
– Digital pre-press technology
– Four-colour screen printing equipment
– Large format flatbed digital printing
Digital Transformation
The 2000s ushered in our digital revolution. We were among the first in Australia to install an OCE 250 flatbed printer, later adding SwissQ large format equipment. By 2017, we had retired our lithographic equipment and moved to digital production.
Our Greatest Asset: Our People and our Clients
Through-out the history of Allprint Graphics, we’re most proud of our people and long-standing clients. Our history is marked by extraordinary loyalty:
