MILLIGRAM MOMENTS
Discover the moments that made Milligram what it is today.

HUMBLE BEGINNINGS

2007
Milligram starts as an online business from Scott's dining table. Back then, it was known as NoteMaker, and everything from product photography to packing online orders was done by a team of just two.

OUR FIRST REAL OFFICE

2011
The hard work starts paying off and we outgrow the dining table office. Like business adolescents we move into an actual office space in Footscray and the team starts to grow.

KIRBY JOINS THE TEAM

2012
Our first furry team member is brought on board. Loved by all, Kirby is still a dedicated employee today.

MAKING YOU OUR FRIEND FOR LIFE

2013
The Friends For Life loyalty program launches, giving our much-loved customers the rewards they want and the experiences they enjoy.

OUR FIRST EVENT

2013
We host our first pop-up event with MT Masking Tape. Engaging with our customers at Melbourne Central, it gave us a taste for the hands-on experience and connecting with our community.

WHAT'S IN A NAME?

2017
It's our 10th birthday and we make the big move to change our name from NoteMaker to Milligram. We realise our love for stationery has expanded into a love for all things design, so it feels right to make the switch. Our service and range stays the same — only better!

MILLIGRAM MAKERS

2017
We launch our very own in-house brand, Studio Milligram. We make it our mission to deliver measured design, beautiful utility and to spark emotion with every item we create.

IT GETS REAL

2017
Milligram opens its first store at Melbourne Central! Designed by the team at Studio Y, with its innovative interactive design, it quickly becomes the destination for all things stationery in Melbourne.

IT GETS REALLY REAL

2018 - 2019
We take on the mammoth task of opening 3 stores across Melbourne within 6 months (cue late nights and very tired feet). Each with their own unique design, every store carries its own experience for customers to enjoy.

WHAT'S NEXT?

After launching our second flagship store at Chadstone in October 2020 and a new Bourke St store in November 2022, we've got our sights set on more new and exciting developments for the future, and we're thrilled to have you along for the ride with us.
