Many moons ago a small graphic design agency was formed by the Cester family in Melbourne. The year was 1996. The goal was great design. Thus Whirlwind Design was created. Their passion for print was soon apparent. They wanted great service, quality products and a fast turnaround time and when they couldn’t find it, what else can you do, but build it yourself!
So Whirlwind Print was born. The company has gone from strength to strength, driven by a family passion for print and a commitment to deliver the best service and the best products in the print industry.
Still owned and operated by the Cester family (bringing with them a whole host of print passionate people too!), we have the Whirlwind Print of today, fast moving, quality & service driven and providing complete print solutions.
Onwards and upwards!

We strive to ensure that you benefit, everyday, from our experience, commitment and successes, providing them with complete peace of mind and an accredited total print solution.
We constantly deliver high quality print products, utilizing our comprehensive prepress solutions, industry leading offset and digital print technology. Coupled with our, in-house finishing services, fulfilment services, reliable warehousing and distribution channels, including overnight service to anywhere in Australia, Whirlwind is more than capable to provide you with a total print solution.
We operate a comprehensive and fully integrated workflow management system from design to distribution. This system guarantees the production of first class products by enhancing automation, eliminating waste and reducing errors.
We are committed to utilising leading edge technologies and equipment to guarantee a first class product and a first class service to our clients.
Our core product range includes flyers, posters, point of sale, stationery, booklets and promotional items. Whirlwind has perfected offset printing to optimize paper usage, reduce environmental impact and improve productivity and thereby, maintain a value for money and competitive service. A large range of quality standard and environmental stocks are indented to further reduce the cost of paper and to provide maximum choice for you.
Our presses are virtually new and incorporate state of the art technology.
We run one of the true real time electronic planning board systems that show available capacity at any one point on any one operation. It gives us the ability to give the most responsive answers to our clients on tight deadlines by understanding the consequences of taking on the unimaginable.
This manufacturing capability is supported by a series of enterprise level software products that cover the gamut of production, from initial customer interaction, order entry via multiple service channels, through all facets of the production cycle and distribution.
At Whirlwind we provide the tools needed to help your planning process, from scheduled deadlines and turnaround times to upfront pricing and delivery schedules.
Our staff will guide you through the planning stage in order for your print job to move seamlessly through the printing process.
From the moment your files arrive with us the preprint team begin to run through an extensive check list of technical issues that may impact on our ability to produce a first class product for you.
These checks include looking for those little problems such as bleed, ink densities, embedded fonts and image resolution.
Then your files are double checked by the best ripping technology on the market – just to be safe.
Your artwork is transferred from our computer straight onto our plates (this is called computer to plate production) using the best thermal imaging technology available. Thermal imaging allows us to dramatically enhance details rendition and produce near photographic images – in short, it makes your job look great.
We use state-of-the-art digital workflow systems to move your job around the production floor and create your finished print product.
Computer integrated processing data remains one step ahead of your job at all times. It takes care of everything from telling our presses how to set their ink ducts through to setting the exact measurements for our guillotines to trim your job.
Printing is only half the story. It is those finishing touches that make all the difference and Whirlwind offers a wide range of finishing options that will help bring print jobs to life.
Sealing varnishes on all coated stocks, scoring wheels on our folding machines, and in-house finishing services are just a few examples of how we go that little bit further to provide our customers with the best possible results.
At Whirlwind we offer the following finishing processes:
When it comes to the distribution of your finished print job, at Whirlwind we have the ability to store, collate, pack and distribute your products around Australia. We strive to deliver on time every time using our preferred partner network.
