Kosdown Printing has a proud history of supporting community events, organisations and grassroots sport teams.
Since 2009 we've sponsored a competitive cycling club. Go Kosdown Performance Cycling!
Team Kosdown works to support and encourage cyclists to achieve their goals in competitive cycling. A core function of the team is promote cycling to young people as a fulfilling sport unlike any other.
Cycling, as a sport, is all about recognising individual strengths and having the team work together to accentuate these strengths. That individual then has the opportunity to lead the entire team to victory. Success for one is success for all.
There couldn’t be a better real-world metaphor for our philosophy of community involvement.
We believe in working hard to help our clients, staff and community achieve individual and common goals.
We have been committed to sustainable printing long before it became a talking point. To us sustainable printing is more than just being environmentally aware, it also makes economic sense and is a smarter way to do business.
We were one of the first in Australia to introduce water and chemical free plate making, a technology which offers immense water savings of over 150,000 litres a year. It is also far safer for our staff and the environment. In addition we only use 100% vegetable and soy based inks, again eliminating the need for harmful (and expensive) chemicals.
We are one of only a handful of printers in Australia to be fully certified by the Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC), an international organisation that encourages paper mills to find solutions to problems created by bad forestry practices and reward good forest management.
Further to that we are also Silver Waste Wise certified, with 97% of our waste being recycled or reused, and are a member of CitySwitch Green Office program , Australia's flagship sustainability program for business.
Using an FSC® certified paper is a great way to reduce your environmental impact without any additional cost. Please speak to David Downie about printing your next job using FSC® certified papers.

This award acknowledges and celebrates the achievements of Port Phillip’s most outstanding businesses. Kosdown was thrilled to be recognised for our sustainability initiatives.
