Printing for Museums and Galleries
Forest Print works with Australian museums, galleries, cultural organisations and design studios on exhibition catalogues, art books and related printed products.
Our Melbourne team manages quoting, samples, production updates and delivery. Printing is completed through our own manufacturing facility in China, giving clients access to specialist binding, finishing and competitive production for medium-to-large print runs.
Exhibition and Museum Printing
We can produce a complete range of printed materials for exhibitions, collections, public programs and gallery retail.
Common projects include:
- Exhibition catalogues
- Art and photography books
- Artist monographs
- Museum and gallery guides
- Visitor maps
- Educational and activity booklets

Several products can be managed under one project to maintain consistent materials, colour and branding.

Complete Print Support for Museums and Galleries
Art Books and Exhibition Catalogues
Paper, binding and finishing should support the artwork and the purpose of the publication.
We regularly produce:
- PUR and section-sewn paperbacks
- Section-sewn hardcover books
- Cloth and paper-covered cases
- French flaps and dust jackets
- Fold-outs and gatefolds
- Foil stamping
- Embossing and debossing
- Spot UV
- Slipcases and presentation boxes
We can review preliminary specifications and recommend practical options based on the design, quantity, budget and required delivery date.
Colour Proofing and Samples
Art and photography projects often require closer colour control than standard commercial printing.
Depending on the project, we can provide:
- Digital printed samples
- Bound mock-ups
- Colour proofs
- Printed press sheets
- Pre-production samples
- Paper and binding samples
Previous publications, approved artwork references or physical colour samples can also be supplied for comparison.
Working with Designers and Cultural Organisations
We can work directly with a museum or gallery, or as a confidential production partner to its appointed design studio.
Support during the design and production stages can include:
- Paper and binding recommendations
- Preliminary production pricing
- Spine calculations
- Dielines
- Artwork checking
- Proofing
- Freight planning
Where we are engaged by a design agency, we will not approach its client independently.
Museum Shop Products
We can also produce printed products for museum and gallery shops, including:
- Postcard and greeting card sets
- Notebooks and journals
- Art prints
- Calendars
- Children’s activity products
- Folding cartons
- Gift boxes
- Product sleeves
- Paper bags
Books, stationery and packaging can often be produced and shipped together.
