Our Story

Ellikon Fine Printers was established by John Zapris in 1974.

From a small shop front in Johnston Street, Abbotsford, John enthusiastically offered local businesses an opportunity to have their general stationery requirements, such as business cards, letterheads and envelopes, professionally printed.

John’s son Peter was introduced into the firm in 1997. He commenced his printing apprenticeship and started his long journey within the industry, eventually leading him to become Managing Director.

Peter has continued their passion for fulfilling each customer’s printing requirements by diversifying ELLIKON into one of Australia’s most progressive printing companies. Driven by an ethos to provide affordable, fine quality and sustainable printing has enabled ELLIKON to retain its leading position. Peter thrives on the challenge of mastering a traditional craft and using our hearts, minds, and hands to create lasting impressions.

“We are the last step in the visions of many passionate people. We take an anonymous sheet of paper and provide its story. We become a part of so many stories in what we do. It’s what makes our journey so vibrant.”
