What Print.inc does

Print.inc operates a self-serve e-commerce platform for custom printed merchandise and apparel, headquartered in Leeds, United Kingdom, with a production facility at Wellington Road Industrial Estate. The company offers over 1,000 SKUs across clothing (t-shirts, hoodies, sweatshirts, workwear), drinkware, stickers, badges, packaging, and print materials, produced in-house using B3 digital presses, 64-inch wide format printers, and screen printing, sublimation, and embroidery capabilities. Customers configure products online, upload artwork via Dropbox (in PSD, AI, PDF, JPEG, TIFF, or EPS formats), approve digital proofs, and pay via PayPal at checkout, with prices displayed excluding VAT.

The business generates revenue through one-time custom product sales on a pay-as-you-go basis, with unit pricing starting at £3-£16 for print items and volume discounts available via deal bundles (e.g., 50 t-shirts for £295). A separate Trade Programme extends the offering to creatives and print resellers across Europe through white-label shipping and trade discounts. The customer base is highly fragmented across at least 14 named segments including artists, bands, breweries, clothing brands, cafes, events, record labels, tattoo artists, universities, venues, and weddings, with no disclosed enterprise anchor customers. Primary target segments are creative SMBs and small businesses needing low-minimum, quick-turnaround custom printing.

Print.Inc Group Limited entered liquidation in 2024, and the brand was subsequently acquired by Involution Limited (UK Company Number 03833379) and relaunched in 2025-09 as 'Print.Inc Powered by Involution.' Operations have been consolidated at Involution's Park House headquarters in Leeds, drawing on Involution's 26 years of operating experience and stated 98% customer retention rate, with some original Print.Inc staff retained for continuity. The company has 11-50 employees, no disclosed funding rounds, no AI/ML capabilities, and operates exclusively through direct e-commerce supplemented by the European Trade Programme.
