For us, that is the inspiring stories we can hear from our customers.

Working in the labelling and packaging industry for over 50 years, we are lucky to work with many inspiring business owners who started their brands with love and passion.

Our customers usually come to us with the request "please help elevate our packaging".

The story of Clive and Robyn, owners of Cheeky Coffee Roasters, is a perfect example of how QLM became Complete Packaging Solutions Partners.

This Friday QLM will participate in Jersey Day.

Jersey Day is where workplaces across Australia allow employees to wear their favourite sporting jersey to school or work and begin the conversation with their family and friends about the importance of becoming an organ and tissue donor.
Jersey Day was inspired by the gift of life that Nathan Gremmo gave to six people when he became an organ donor at age 13.

Jersey Day is all about raising awareness – there is no requirement to raise funds. Jersey Day is fun, it’s free and by registering to become an organ and tissue donor you could be helping to save a life.

Movement of product from supply through packaging and transport is an important part of your product's journey from the beginning right through to delivery to your consumer.
