Dossier Industries is an experimental publishing imprint and collaborative design practice

Based in Melbourne, we produce tactile and engaging printed literature on a wide variety of subjects through both commissioned and self initiated work. Dossier Industries is a platform for us to experiment with visual language and celebrate the printed page; and we place emphasis on the book as a communicative object through form as well as content. Our approach involves forming a close dialogue with clients in order to realise projects that are considered, thoughtful, and aesthetically exploratory.
