From Zero to Production: How a Family Business Launched a Custom Cup Printing Operation with ALDUS™ Milford Astor

What has truly set ALDUS™ Milford Astor apart for us is
their genuine willingness to support smaller businesses.
Too often the 'little guy' gets overlooked or squeezed out -
but that's not how ALDUS™ Milford Astor operates.

What we do

ALDUS™ Milford Astor supplies specialist printing inks, equipment and consumables to businesses across Australia. We partner with our customers from day one, whether they are established operators or just starting out, to ensure they have the right products, knowledge and network to succeed.

what they do

Bris-Pack is a family owned and operated custom takeaway coffee cup printing business based in Brisbane, Queensland. They print bespoke branding directly onto takeaway coffee cups, helping Australian cafes and hospitality businesses stand out with premium, personalised packaging.

The Begining: Starting from scratch

When the founders of Bris-Pack first reached out to ALDUS™ Milford Astor in March 2025, they had a clear vision but limited experience in the printing industry. They did not yet own a printing machine. For many suppliers, that would be a barrier — but for ALDUS™ Milford Astor, it was simply a starting point. Roger and the ALDUS™ Milford Astor team took the time to understand Bris-Pack’s goals, sourced products suited specifically to their application, and shared the kind of industry knowledge that only comes from decades of hands-on experience. That relationship, built quietly and collaboratively over several months, proved instrumental in getting Bris-Pack off the ground. By October 2025, Bris-Pack had officially become a ALDUS™ Milford Astor customer — production-ready and building momentum.

The Printing Process

Ink Selection & Application
‍Printing onto takeaway coffee cups demands inks that are vibrant, food-safe compliant, and capable of adhering consistently to curved surfaces. ALDUS™ Milford Astor worked with Bris-Pack to identify the right ink formulations for their specific substrate and printing method, ensuring crisp, consistent results from the very first run.

Equipment & Setup
‍Rather than leaving Bris-Pack to navigate machine selection alone, ALDUS™ Milford Astor leveraged their network of experienced operators and industry contacts to guide the team toward the right equipment for their production goals. This holistic support, covering both machinery and consumables, gave Bris-Pack the confidence to invest and scale.

Quality & Consistency
‍Each printed cup leaving the Bris-Pack facility carries a brand story. The quality of that print is a direct reflection of the inks, the setup, and the knowledge behind both. ALDUS™ Milford Astor’s ongoing technical support ensures that quality is repeatable and reliable, run after run.

Building an Austrlain supply chain

One of the most significant contributions ALDUS™ Milford Astor made to Bris-Pack’s journey was opening doors. Through ALDUS™ Milford Astor’s established reputation and extensive network within the Australian printing and manufacturing industry, Bris-Pack was introduced to local manufacturers who became key partners in building their supply chain.

For Bris-Pack, supporting local and national businesses is not just a commercial decision, it’s a value. Finding a supplier in ALDUS™ Milford Astor that shares that same commitment to Australian industry made the partnership feel natural from the start.

Why it works

The Bris-Pack partnership is a story about more than inks and machines. It is about what happens when a supplier genuinely invests in a customer’s success — before there is even a commercial relationship to protect.

From the first conversation in March 2025 through to the launch of production in October 2025, the ALDUS™ Milford Astor team demonstrated exactly what sets them apart: patience, expertise, genuine care for the customer’s outcome, and a network built on years of trusted relationships across Australian industry.
