Although Alexandria, New South Wales was once a largely industrial suburb close to the heart of Sydney, its recent redevelopment has transformed it into a popular residential area. One of its attractions is its proximity to the central business district of Sydney; a journey there by public transport takes only a short time. There is still some industry in the suburb and there are useful services available locally such as laminating in Alexandria. At Minuteman Press we can provide laminating for many of our printed items, making them less flexible, more durable and resistant to the harmful effects of moisture and ultraviolet light.
There are several educational establishments in Alexandria, including preschools, high schools and specialist dance and music centres. Tutors often create reusable worksheets to help pupils learn and these could benefit from laminating. Alexandria students could also preserve their school certificates and photographs by laminating them. The history of the suburb is rather interesting and teachers might like to tell their pupils that Alexandria was once a great manufacturing area comparable with Birmingham in the United Kingdom. The suburb is also thought to have been named in honour of Alexandra, a princess who was married to King Edward VII of England.
As gentrification proceeds, the area is becoming increasingly more attractive as a place to live and the quiet streets of Victorian terraces seem particularly appealing. Many new residents of the suburb could find that laminating in Alexandria is useful to preserve their favourite recipes, treasured correspondence or family pictures.
