LIA QLD held a site visit at the new Platypus Graphics printing premises, with 60 people attending.
The visit at the Geebung facility began with a presentation from general manager Aaron Lusch showing the equipment visitors would be seeing on the tour and giving a history of the company.
The tours were conducted by Tom, Aaron and Tim Lusch, along with members of the Platypus production team. LIA QLD says one of the highlights from the night was walking through the newly HACCP Certified printing room.

Gavin Gyles, president at LIA QLD says, “Interest in attending this plant tour was strong from the time it was announced. Unfortunately, we had to cap the numbers in the interest of safety and management but it shows how well respected the Platypus Graphics name is here in Queensland.”
The packaging market has been a growth area for Platypus Graphics in recent years and the work done in achieving HACCP certification was clearly visible for all to see. With all equipment running, the tour saw the production process from end to end. Concept and prototyping, through to sheeting, printing on the twin KBA presses, die-cutting, recycling and logistics.
