What is a trade printer?
A trade printer prints for other print businesses rather than for the public. You sell the job to your client, set your own price, and the trade printer produces it under your brand. Trade only means exactly that: we don't sell to the public, we don't contact your clients, and nothing we ship carries our name.

Printing for resellers
Wholesale printing only works if the reseller keeps the margin and the client relationship. That's why every Mediapoint order is white-labelled, blind-shipped and priced at trade rates you can mark up. Print resellers, sign shops, designers and agencies across Australia use us as their production floor, so they can sell more without buying more equipment.

FAQ
What is a trade printer?
A trade printer prints for other print businesses rather than for the public. Sign shops, print resellers, designers and agencies sell the job to their client, and the trade printer produces it under their brand. Mediapoint is a trade-only printer: we never sell to or contact your clients.
What makes Mediapoint different to other trade printers?
We deal only with trade customers, never retail. Ordering, proofing and production scheduling are automated, so you see live trade pricing and a real dispatch date before you order, and 99% of orders dispatch on time. Everything is printed in-house in Derrimut, Melbourne, and blind-shipped under your brand.
How do you achieve next-day turnaround on most products?
Customers upload and approve their own artwork online, automated file checks catch problems before production, and jobs are scheduled automatically onto the right machine. Because we don't offer design services, there's no back-and-forth to slow a job down. Many products are produced the next business day on orders placed before the 1pm Melbourne cut-off, and every product shows its dispatch date before you order.
Why would we use a trade printer instead of in-house production?
In-house equipment is ideal for bespoke or low-volume jobs, but as volume grows the cost per square metre of ink, stock, labour, machine time and floor space adds up. Every hour your machines spend on a low-margin job is an hour they can't spend on a profitable one. Outsourcing volume work to a trade printer keeps your own equipment free for the jobs that make the most money.
What equipment does Mediapoint have?
We print on Durst UV flatbed and roll-to-roll presses, including a Durst 512R for banners, a Durst Tau RSC for roll labels, and a Canon Colorado M-series with white ink. Cutting is on Zünd digital cutters, and eyelets are fitted on an automated Plastgrommet All-In-One finishing machine.
Do you sell to the public?
No. Mediapoint is trade-only. We print for print resellers, sign shops, graphic designers and marketing agencies, and we never contact your end clients.
How do I open a trade account?
Register online at https://www.mediapoint.com.au/authorization/registration . Our team reviews every application, and once you're approved you get live trade pricing, 24/7 online ordering and a sample pack.
Do you offer design or artwork services?
No. Supply a print-ready PDF and the portal runs automated file checks and gives you an online proof before anything is printed. Keeping design out of the process is part of what keeps trade prices and turnaround down.
Where do you deliver?
Australia-wide, including Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth and regional areas. Every order is blind-shipped with no Mediapoint branding, direct to your client or to you. Each order ships to one address.
