Newcastle and the Central Coast share the M1 corridor, which makes this an easy long run rather than a hard one. The drive from Newcastle to Digital Label Services is around 85 km, most of it motorway. Our all directions and parking page covers every other origin.
It is also the direction our own vehicles travel. Deliveries and technician visits head north from Green Point regularly, so a Newcastle or Hunter customer rarely has to drive anywhere. The trip is for demonstrations, materials testing and problems that need to be seen rather than described.
What is the route from Newcastle?
From the Newcastle CBD, take the Newcastle Link Road out to the M1 Pacific Motorway and head south. The motorway covers most of the 85 km with no route decisions.
Leave the M1 and follow Gosford-Somersby Road down to the Central Coast Highway, east through West Gosford and Erina, then Avoca Drive into Green Point.
What is worth knowing about the M1 corridor?
One road most of the way makes the timing predictable. The variables are holiday weekends, when the corridor carries heavy through traffic, and the Central Coast Highway at the southern end.
Central Coast Council calls the region logistically halfway between Sydney and Newcastle. Newcastle is the closest major city outside the Coast.
Why do Newcastle and Hunter businesses make the run?
Steel River Industrial Estate covers 104 hectares between Industrial Drive and Tourle Street, and the industrial land sits at Mayfield West. Warehouse, asset, drum and shipping labels come out of there.
The Port of Newcastle contributes around $48 billion to the national economy each year. Logistics labels have to scan first time, which is a print quality question.
What should you bring for a visit of 85 km?
Make it count. Bring the containers, the current labels, the failures, the artwork and the printer model, and be ready to discuss annual volume rather than a single run.
Confirm before you set out. You can call us before you visit so the machines you want to see are free and the stock is here. Open 8:30am to 5:00pm Monday to Friday.
Do Newcastle customers need to come at all?
Usually not. Printed labels, label stock and genuine consumables are delivered up the M1, and our technicians travel to Newcastle and Hunter sites for installation, training and servicing.
Remote diagnosis handles a large share of faults. A photograph of the print defect, the machine’s error state and the consumable in use is often enough.
“Digital Label Services have delivered quality labels and consumables, cost savings and support for the last 7 months for our colour label printers ensuring that a key component of our business runs efficiently.”

Frequently asked questions
How long is the drive from Newcastle to Digital Label Services?
Around 85 km via the Newcastle Link Road and the M1 Pacific Motorway, approximately an hour and a quarter to an hour and a half depending on conditions. Holiday weekends and the southern end of the corridor are the two main variables.
Do you deliver to Newcastle and the Hunter?
Yes. Printed labels, label stock and genuine consumables travel up the M1 corridor, and our technicians reach Newcastle and Hunter sites for installation, training and servicing. Most customers there are supplied entirely this way and never drive to Green Point at all.
Can I see a press or printer running before committing?
Yes, and at this distance it is the main reason to come. Send your artwork ahead and tell us the material, and we will run it on the equipment you are considering so you can judge colour and barcode quality.
Do you have a Newcastle branch?
No. Green Point is the only premises. Newcastle and the Hunter are served from there by delivery and by technicians travelling the M1, the same corridor the Central Coast shares with the city. Nothing is stocked or staffed locally, and nothing needs to be.
Is there parking when I arrive?
Because these are working premises rather than a retail showroom, it is worth confirming access and parking before you set out. Call 0431 942 464 before you leave Newcastle and we will tell you where to pull up and make sure the right person is free.
