Longs Wholesalers

20/02/2026

After 30 odd years and now blissfully retired I’ll make one observation.

Running a screen printing business is like owning a boat.

The two best days are the day you launch it.
And the day you sell it.

And the latter is far superior than the former.

Long’s is for sale!

After 51 years trading and 32 years of my involvement I’m retiring.

Fully equipped with M&R i-Image, Starlight, Uni-Kote and top of the range Radicure D drier and two TAS Autos, a CX16 (less than 180,000 impressions) and HX10.
The CX16 comes with 4 Smart-Cure flashes while the HX10 has 3 IR flashes fitted and one spare.
Both machines have full sets of adult, youth and sleeve beds and full sets of squeegees and winged flood bars.

This is a solid, profitable business as evidenced by its longevity. We were among the first to print commercially in Australia and I’d suspect the oldest still trading.

Currently operating at about 50-55% production capacity there is enormous potential for a motivated new owner to take the business to market and easily double current revenue levels and potentially triple net profit to owner.
I haven’t advertised or promoted the business for probably 8 years.

Realistically priced and increasingly negotiable for a quick sale the business is also available freehold with the freestanding premises in a sought after location.

Call and chat, I just wanna go fishing or something like that

Time to put the new press to work. 7 colours, base and high white. Even with a 16 head press we used the Roto program to flash every colour for this retail client. Crisp, smooth prints.

Longs Wholesalers turns 50 next year, yes, 50. And the 2nd Generation celebrates 30 years in the business, now generally know as Longs Screen Printing. We are marking the occasion with a sweet 16, a brand new 16 colour printing press. Aussie made, and it's all Yellow. Oh, and the potential 3rd Generation, Ikey Long is also 16, and putting his back into the job. Maybe he'll be making a post like this in 2053?
