Printivity

What Printivity does

Printivity is a US-based online custom printing company, organized as Printivity LLC and headquartered at 8225 Mercury Court in San Diego, California. Founded in 2010 by individuals dissatisfied with existing print providers, the company operates a self-serve e-commerce platform that lets customers configure, price, and order a broad catalog of custom-printed products including business cards (Classic, Triple Layer, Pearl, Painted Edge, Linen, Kraft, Loyalty), marketing materials (brochures, flyers, postcards, folders, menus, bookmarks, calendars, rack cards, door hangers), books and booklets across multiple binding types, commercial color and black-and-white copies, signage (posters, banners, yard signs, mini posters), stickers, packaging (custom shipping boxes and branded mailers), and three-ring binders.

The underlying technology is a web-native ordering platform with an instant quote calculator, online proofing, and a human File Check Department that reviews uploaded designs for print-readiness before production. The company operates two complementary go-to-market motions: a product-led growth model for small and medium businesses who order directly through the website, and a field-sales enterprise model serving large customers and franchise networks with dedicated account management, custom quotes, and Cloud Enterprise Services. Supporting offerings include a Rush Critical expedited service, franchise solutions, custom box design, and professional graphic design services starting at $49 per project with unlimited revisions.

Revenue is generated primarily through one-time per-order sales of custom print products, supplemented by professional design services. Pricing is unit-based and quote-driven for most SKUs, with free UPS Ground shipping on business card orders and a published price match guarantee. The customer base spans SMBs ordering through self-serve (the primary segment), large enterprises (Avery Dennison, Berkshire Hathaway, JanSport, BMW, FICO, Orange Theory Fitness), and a secondary education vertical for yearbooks and event programs. Marketing is multi-channel, anchored by the Printivity Insights content blog, social media on Instagram, Facebook, X, and LinkedIn, an email newsletter, and SEO-optimized educational content, with international shipping available beyond the US domestic market.
