Digicopy

What Digicopy does

Digicopy (DigiCOPY) is a Wisconsin-based commercial and consumer digital printing company founded in 2000 by President & CEO Craig Shuler. It operates eight physical storefronts across the state (Eau Claire, Stevens Point, Wausau, two Milwaukee locations, Green Bay, La Crosse, and Black River Falls) alongside a transactional e-commerce storefront at shop.dcopy.net where customers can upload artwork, configure specifications, and order for shipment or in-store pickup. The core technology stack is digital printing, expanded in October 2024 to include sheetfed offset printing following the acquisition of The Print Shop in Black River Falls; the combined platform is positioned by management as offering the widest service array of any printer in the Midwest.

The product portfolio spans core commercial print (business cards, brochures/flyers, envelopes, letterhead, yard signs, banners, posters, decals, magnets, raffle tickets, rubber stamps, name badges), custom book publishing (stapled, coil-bound, perfect-bound, and hard case books with no minimums), mailing and fulfillment services, and promotional products. Customer segments are horizontal and fragmented: Wisconsin businesses, individual consumers (wedding and graduation invitations, personalized puzzles, birthday banners), and a publishing/education cohort. Pricing is quote-based or tiered by quantity with low minimum order values (e.g., 100 units for business card magnets, 250 for raffle tickets) and revenue is generated on a transaction-fee basis across all four service lines (print products, custom publishing, mailing, promotional products).

The company is 100% employee-owned through the DigiCOPY Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) since January 2024, employs more than 100 co-workers, and reports no outside equity, venture capital, or private equity ownership. The named enterprise reference is the Milwaukee Brewers (baseball schedule magnet cards); the remainder of the customer base is the long tail of Wisconsin SMBs and consumers served through both the online channel and the regional store network.
