Vpress is a UK-headquartered, privately held software company founded in 2001 that provides a cloud-based Web-to-Print platform called Coreprint.

Coreprint is offered in three annual subscription tiers (Lite for embedded B2C/B2B portals, Complete for B2B storefronts, and Elite combining both), with quote-based pricing, and is complemented by Vdocs (digital document and credential delivery via QR codes), Embedded Tech (a website-embedded personalization editor with a Shopify plug-in), and a portfolio of professional services covering bespoke development, integration, account management, technical support, template creation, tender preparation, and training.

The company operates a multi-channel go-to-market combining enterprise field sales with dedicated account managers, inside sales via demo requests, a global reseller and white-label partner network (including agencies and print managers who rebrand Coreprint for their clients), and embedded distribution through Shopify. Tier-1 strategic partnerships with Ricoh, Kodak, and ECI provide additional channel reach.

Vpress competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- Aleyant Systems: US-based direct competitor offering Pressero (Web-to-Print storefronts) and Automated Document Factory — same target buyers (printers, in-plant operations, franchises) with overlapping template, storefront, and variable-data capabilities.
- MarcomCentral (by Corel): Web-to-Print and brand asset management platform acquired by Corel, serving marketing teams and print providers with centralized ordering portals — directly comparable offering to Coreprint Complete and Elite.
- Infigo Software: UK/EU-headquartered Web-to-Print SaaS provider targeting commercial printers and in-house print rooms with storefront, MIS integration, and variable data — closest geographic and product competitor to Vpress.
- PageFlex: Long-standing Web-to-Print personalization and variable-data publishing platform serving in-plant print, franchises, and direct marketers — competes in the same personalization and storefront category as Coreprint.
- Tharstern: Print MIS/ERP vendor serving commercial printers; cited by Vpress customer DCS London as a key integration driver. Adjacent rather than head-to-head, but addresses overlapping buyer needs (workflow automation, MIS-driven production).
- Avanti Slingshot (Ricoh): Print MIS platform owned by Ricoh with which Vpress has a Core integration — competes for the same PSP customer's technology budget and could evolve into a more direct storefront/workflow competitor.
- PrintIQ: Cloud-first print MIS/ERP vendor for commercial printers; Vpress maintains a Core integration but PrintIQ also offers adjacent storefront and workflow functionality that overlaps with Coreprint Lite/Complete.
Broad incumbents
- Ricoh (TotalFlow): Major production-print OEM and Tier-1 Vpress partner; offers TotalFlow workflow and production software that bundles some Web-to-Print-adjacent capabilities as part of a much broader hardware+software portfolio.
- Kodak (Prinergy): Major production-print OEM and Tier-1 Vpress partner; Prinergy workflow is a deeply entrenched pre-press/MIS system in commercial print, providing indirect competition and integration leverage to Vpress.
- HP Siteflow: HP's cloud-based Web-to-Print/production workflow platform — a vendor with which Vpress integrates but which also sells competing capabilities to the same PSP customer base as part of HP's broader Indigo/PageWide ecosystem.
