What Dprint does

Dprint GmbH is a regional printing and advertising services company headquartered in Cottbus, Germany, operating from the historic Alte Chemiefabrik business park at Parzellenstraße 21. The company serves small to medium-sized businesses, brands, and project initiatives across the Lausitz region of Brandenburg, providing a full-service workflow that spans design, digital and offset printing, UV-LED direct printing, signage and vehicle lettering, and laser engraving, delivered either as quote-based custom projects or through standardized products purchased in the company's online shop.

Its technical capabilities center on a Heidelberg-led machinery park: a Heidelberg Versafire EV digital press supports CMYK output plus special finishes including white, varnish, Neon Yellow, and Neon Pink on substrates up to 360 g/m²; Heidelberg offset technology handles larger runs with formal proofing (dummies, form proofs, color proofs); UV-LED direct printing enables high-resolution output on metal, plastic, wood, and promotional items up to 150 mm thick, including 3D haptic effects; and laser systems produce engravings and stamps on wood, metal, glass, and acrylic. Four in-house media designers provide upstream creative services as an add-on module.

Commercially, the business combines a real-time online shop (dprint-shop.de) for standardized products (business cards, flyers, brochures, posters, stickers) with quote-based custom work. Pricing is transactional per job, valid for four months, exclusive of VAT and delivery. Distribution is domestic-only via direct delivery ("frei Haus") or customer pickup at the Cottbus facility. Revenue is not publicly disclosed; the company is privately held by Managing Director André Malarczuk, with no external institutional investment, no parent entity, and no disclosed funding rounds.
