Rawson Print & Packaging has strengthened its position in the Australian commercial print sector with the acquisition of Sydney-based print operation IntoPrint.
The deal follows Rawson’s earlier integration of Megacolour and signals the company’s ongoing strategy of growth through investment and consolidation. Rawson had, until its Megacolour acquisition, been primarily focused on packaging print. This remains an important part of its portfolio.
Both Rawson and IntoPrint have long histories in the trade, with solid reputations for quality and innovation. The acquisition brings IntoPrint’s operations, technology and staff under the Rawson umbrella, including directors Grant Regan and Tony Perini, who will continue in the business.
Lachlan Finch, director at Rawson, told Print21, "With IntoPrint now part of the Rawson family, we are excited to build on this legacy – bringing together expertise, technology, and customer-centric values to deliver even more advanced and efficient printing solutions."
Andrew Price, Rawson MD, confirmed that the majority of IntoPrint’s employees will be retained, ensuring continuity for existing customers while boosting the group’s expertise and capacity.
Price said, "This acquisition represents a reaffirmation of our commitment to our customers, our team, and the industry. In a rapidly evolving market, Rawson Print & Packaging continues to invest in people, technology, and partnerships that drive innovation and deliver exceptional results."
As part of its expanded operations, Rawson will now operate on a six-day, 24-hour production model. The company said this will significantly increase throughput and enable faster turnaround times, while maintaining the quality standards for which both businesses are known.
The integration of IntoPrint is expected to provide customers with access to a wider range of services and enhanced production flexibility. Rawson said it will focus on maintaining the trusted client relationships established by both companies, while introducing new efficiencies and advanced print solutions.
The deal underlines a trend of consolidation in the Australian print and packaging sector, as businesses look to strengthen scale and sustainability in a challenging market.
