Our Story
About Ink Asia — 25 Years of Premium Print
From a single press to a global print partner — connecting Australian publishers with world-class manufacturing since the late 1990s.
Our Story
From a Single Press to a Global Print Partner
Ink Asia was founded more than 25 years ago with a simple belief: that beautiful books shouldn’t cost a fortune to produce. What started as a small operation connecting Australian publishers with quality print manufacturing in Asia has grown into one of the region’s most trusted names in offshore book production.
Today, our state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Shenzhen, China, produces millions of books each year for clients across Australia, the United States, the United Kingdom, and South Africa. Our plant is home to advanced offset and digital printing equipment, alongside a fully in-house bindery and finishing operation — from perfect binding to gold foil embossing.
What sets Ink Asia apart isn’t just our printing capability — it’s our commitment to making offshore printing feel local. Our Sydney-based team manages every client relationship directly, handling communication, file checking, proofing, and quality control so you’re never navigating the complexities of international manufacturing alone. Our facility holds ISO 9001, ISO 14001, FSC®, SMETA, Disney F.A.M.A, and BSCI accreditations — independently verified standards that reflect our commitment to quality, sustainability, and ethical manufacturing.
