What digital print does

digital print GmbH (legal name: digital print Laserdruck Centrum Garbsen GmbH) is an owner-managed German Mittelstand digital printing company headquartered in Garbsen near Hannover. Founded in 1990 as one of Northern Germany's pioneers of digital printing, the company operates from a 6,800 m² production facility (with up to 10,000 m² of warehouse space) and employs 105 staff plus 80 part-time workers. It runs a multi-channel business across B2B direct sales, consumer e-commerce, and B2B closed-shop e-procurement, generating 1.2M+ mass-customized products and 500K+ shipments per year.

The company's offering is organized around three service pillars: Mass Customization Fulfillment (print-on-demand photo gifts, personalized textiles, and large-format prints with online shop integration at quantity one, across 200+ articles); Direktmarketing & Lettershop (address processing, personalized printing, kitting, and optimized postal delivery, featuring the proprietary MagicName technology that embeds customer names into photorealistic motifs); and Werbetechnik (UV, sublimation, direct-to-garment, and contour-cut advertising technology with in-house finishing). Sub-brands PrintPlanet.de (consumer internet print shop since 2000), PhotoFancy.de (photo editing and creative photo products across several European countries), and PrintPlanet BusinessSolution (B2B closed-shop e-procurement portal) extend the platform across consumer, creative, and enterprise procurement use cases.

Revenue is generated through one-time production fees, per-unit mass customization fulfillment fees, and professional services for direct marketing campaigns. Pricing is quote-based for B2B customers, transaction-based through e-commerce portals with standard net-payment terms (€30 minimum order, 2% discount within 8 days, net 14), and unit-priced for mass customization products. The company operates as a privately held GmbH with wholly-owned subsidiaries PrintPlanet GmbH and PhotoFancy GmbH; no venture, private equity, or public ownership is disclosed.
