EOFY’s Nearly Here and That Budget’s Not Going to Spend Itself

Posted on 6 June 20256 June 2025

Still Sitting On Unspent FY25 Marketing Budget?

It’s a familiar story. By the time June rolls around, teams are busy closing campaigns, wrapping projects, preparing reports and setting up plans for FY26. Somewhere in that mix, the remaining FY25 marketing budget is quietly waiting to be used. Or lost.

The trouble is, unused budget doesn’t roll over. It doesn’t build credit. It simply disappears when the financial year ends.

That’s where we come in.

At Quality Press, we work with government departments, corporates, educational institutions and event organisers to turn that last portion of FY25 spend into printed assets that add real, lasting value. Whether it’s a job you’ve been postponing or a campaign you didn’t think you had time to deliver, we can help you get it printed, packed, installed or shipped , on time and to spec.
Our setup is fast, capable and full-service. That means we can manage the entire job in-house, from design through to delivery, without the usual delays or back-and-forth.

Make Good Use Of Your FY25 Budget Before June 30 2025

Whether you have a small allocation or a significant amount left in the marketing budget, there are practical and impactful ways to spend it now. Every one of the options below can be turned around quickly and professionally with the right planning and the right team , which is exactly what we offer.

Reprint The Essentials

This is your chance to top up or refresh the foundational materials your team relies on throughout the year. These aren’t vanity items, they’re everyday tools that help your people present well, communicate clearly and stay organised.

Here are key items we can deliver quickly:

• Business cards for new starters, departments or merged teams
• Brochures with updated service offerings or product lines
• Presentation folders for business development and events
• Letterheads for formal documentation
• With compliments slips for professional mail-outs
• NCR forms, checklists or duplicate pads for operational needs
• Desk pads and notepads for internal or client use

We can also assist with minor updates to names, titles, logos or messaging, ensuring your reprint reflects current information.

Finalise That Signage Project

Signage often gets pushed down the list, but it’s one of the highest visibility assets your brand owns. Whether for internal use or public display, signage helps define your space, direct people, and reinforce your message.

Projects we can help bring to life now:

• Pull-up banners for exhibitions, foyers or temporary displays
• A-frame footpath signs for storefronts and community notices
• Corflutes for events, safety messaging or outdoor visibility
• Mesh fence banners for construction sites, sports events or crowd control
• Large-format posters and backdrops for media walls or launches
• Directional signage for buildings, campuses or public venues
• Wall graphics, door signs and internal branding panels

Installation and delivery are available across metro and regional areas. If council approval is needed, we can provide assistance or work with your stakeholders to expedite it.

Order Branded Merchandise

Merchandise doesn’t need to be gimmicky. It just needs to be useful, well-designed and professionally printed. At Quality Press, we produce branded items that your recipients actually keep and use, and we do it at scale.

Consider spending your remaining budget on:

• Tote bags for conferences, education kits or community outreach
• Drink bottles, mugs and coffee cups for events or internal programs
• Branded stationery, including pens, pencils and notebooks
• Uniforms, branded polos or workwear for staff and volunteers
• Lanyards, badge holders and ID cards for corporate use
• Welcome packs for new employees or stakeholders
• Tech accessories like USBs, chargers and mouse pads

We also offer packaging, kitting and warehousing services. That means you can store merchandise until you need it or dispatch it in bulk to multiple locations.

Refresh Your Packaging

If your organisation sends out physical goods, packages sample kits, or delivers products to customers, packaging is an area where design and function intersect and where a small investment can make a strong impression.

Projects to consider for your end-of-year spend:

• Custom mailers and shippers with your logo and message
• Retail display boxes or counter-top cartons
• Printed sleeves, wraps and belly bands for retail packaging
• Branded labels, tags and sticker sheets
• Unboxing elements like thank you cards, promotional inserts or guides
• Subscription boxes, gift kits or onboarding kits
• Flat packs and die-cut folders for education or healthcare kits

If sustainability matters to your brand or your audience, we also offer recyclable stocks, biodegradable options, and low-impact ink alternatives that align with environmental goals.

Print What’s Been Sitting In Draft

Every organisation has files that never made it to press. It could be a guide, report, event pack or stakeholder document that got shelved due to time, budget or approvals. Now is the perfect opportunity to finish those projects properly and have them ready for use in FY26.

Common jobs we finalise this time of year:

• Annual reports, research summaries and impact documents
• Strategic plans, values booklets or capability statements
• Training and onboarding manuals for new team members
• Policy handbooks, WHS resources or compliance documentation
• Event programs, run sheets or branded notepads
• Wall calendars, infographics and campaign visual aids

If you have a file but it’s not quite polished, our design team can assist with layout and finishing so it prints cleanly and professionally.

Pre-Pay Now, Brief Later

Sometimes the best thing you can do with a leftover budget is secure it. If you’re not quite ready to go to print but want to protect your FY25 allocation, we offer flexible credit options.

We invoice you before June 30. You brief the job when you’re ready in FY26.

You’ll have access to our full print, signage, packaging and promo range when the time is right, without needing to rush the brief or decision-making process now.

Wrap Up FY25 With Something Tangible

Your marketing budget was designed to support visibility, growth and engagement. Let’s make sure it ends the year on a strong note by turning the final portion into physical assets your organisation can use.

Whether it’s a job that’s been sitting in a folder all year or a fresh opportunity to elevate your presence, we’re ready to help you deliver it. Our in-house team handles every stage , from concept to completion, with precision, speed and clarity.
