They're creepy and they're kooky
Mysterious and spooky
They're all together ooky
The Tone reception family
Their house is a Printery
Where people come to see 'em
They really are a scream
The Tone reception family
Neat
Sweet
Petite
So get a witches shawl on
A broom stick you can crawl on
Come and pay a call on
The Tone reception family

We, as a company, wouldn’t exist without paper — and we respect it.

At Monotone Printers, paper is more than just a material — it’s the foundation of everything we do. From ideas and designs to finished prints, paper brings messages to life and helps businesses connect with people in meaningful ways.

Every sheet tells a story, and we’re proud to be part of that journey. Thank you to the timeless medium that continues to make creativity, communication, and print possible.

Paper and packaging do more than protect products — they tell a story.

From first impressions on the shelf to what customers take home, quality paper packaging builds trust, strengthens brands, and creates a tangible connection. When sourced responsibly and designed thoughtfully, it’s also an envirnmental choice that supports a sustainable future.

Good packaging isn’t just seen — it’s felt.

Paper often raises environmental questions, and as a printing company, we believe it’s important to share the facts. Paper comes from trees, which are a renewable resource when forests are responsibly managed. Today, most commercial paper is sourced from certified suppliers who replant trees and protect forest ecosystems.

Paper is also one of the most recycled materials in the world. By choosing recycled or responsibly sourced paper and recycling after use, customers help support a circular system where materials are reused rather than wasted.

Modern printing has made significant environmental improvements, using more efficient equipment, reducing waste, and lowering energy and water consumption. When used thoughtfully, paper remains a practical, effective, and environmentally responsible way to communicate, package, and promote products.

Digital communication has changed the way businesses share information — offering speed, flexibility, and convenience. But print remains essential for impact, trust, and connection. From marketing materials to packaging and signage, paper delivers a tangible experience that electronic communication simply can’t replace.

At the same time, modern printing has evolved. With sustainably sourced paper, efficient production, and responsible recycling, print can be a smart and environmentally conscious choice.

For today’s businesses, it’s not about digital versus paper — it’s about using both strategically. When digital and print work together, brands communicate more effectively, responsibly, and memorably.

In an age of constant screen time, consumers are showing a growing desire to unplug and reconnect with the tangible.

Print offers a physical experience that digital simply can’t replicate – no pop-ups, no distractions, just a more immersive and calming way to consume information.

We have received another warning infringement for parking over our own driveway.

This is an open invitation to Anna Reynolds to come up to Monotone to hear our story.

The story of a 112 year old Tasmanian company employing 12 Tasmanian people doing it tough without any help or support from local council.

Yesterday our business delivery van was issued with a parking warning notice.

Monotone has been on this site (61 Argyle Street) since 1953, previously we were in Liverpool Street, we are 112 years old and very proud to be Tasmanian.

All meter parking has been removed from our front entrance, making it difficult for our customers to park close by.

Yesterday we were issued with a warning telling us we can no longer park our delivery van over our own driveway.

The van is clearly marked and has been parked there (between deliveries) since 1953.

I have spoken to a Hobart City Council representative who explained this is a trial week and it is at the discretion of the Parking Inspector to book all, and anyone parked over driveways, regardless of whether it is your own driveway.

We did not receive any correspondence from the council to explain the change they are proposing to make!

When will common sense prevail with these people??!!

I have seen police cars in the clearway on Bathurst Street after 4pm. The council representative told me the Parking Inspectors check the number plates, and it comes up as DO NOT BOOK.

TO THE HOBART CITY COUNCIL

Let me be quite clear with this message...

I am determined and will continue to park the work van over our driveway, and I refuse to pay any fines that may be issued.
