What druckereien.info does

Druckereien.info, operated under that legal name by sole proprietor Hubert Baumann from Villingen-Schwenningen, Germany, is a niche online directory and search engine for B2B print shops across Germany. Launched in 2012, the platform catalogues more than 11,000 printers in every major German city and exposes two free search primitives: a postal code or city lookup and a print-product lookup across over 600 categories such as brochures, flyers, books, calendars, and signage. Each listing surfaces company details (address, phone, partial email, website) alongside an embedded Google Maps or OpenStreetMap view and a profile depth that ranges from a free Standard-Eintrag to a paid Premium-Eintrag.

The underlying technology is a conventional directory platform: search by region and by taxonomy, listing detail pages, contact forms protected by Google reCAPTCHA, and quote-request forms forwarded to druckanfrage-online.de, a separate partner portal that distributes buyer requests to selected printers for bidding. The site integrates Matomo for first-party analytics, YouTube/Facebook/Twitter/Instagram social plugins for sharing, and both Google Maps and OpenStreetMap for geocoding; no proprietary AI, model, or training pipeline is disclosed.

The business model is a hybrid freemium directory monetized primarily on the supply side. Print buyers (private individuals, businesses, associations, public institutions) use the directory free of charge and may submit multi-printer quote requests. Print shops pay an annually billed subscription for Premium-Eintrag visibility; transaction revenue is generated when quote requests are funneled through the druckanfrage-online.de partner. Print brokers, print portals, and pure-online printers are explicitly excluded from premium listings. The company operates without external venture or institutional capital and has no disclosed headcount beyond the 1-10 employee band.

Core offering

druckereien.info operates an online print shop search engine and directory listing 11,000+ printing companies across Germany. Print buyers can search by postal code/city or by print product category (600+ categories such as brochures, flyers, books, calendars, signs) and submit free quote requests that are forwarded to partner printers via druckanfrage-online.de. Print shops can claim free standard listings or purchase annual premium entries for enhanced visibility.

Product overview

druckereien.info operates as a print shop search engine (Druckereisuchmaschine) with a directory of over 11,000 print shops across Germany. The platform offers three core products: a free Standard Entry listing, a paid Premium Entry with enhanced visibility, and a Druckanfrage (Print Request) form that forwards user inquiries to multiple print shops for price comparison. The platform provides two search methods—location-based search via postal code/city and product-based search across over 600 print object categories including brochures, flyers, books, calendars, and signs. Users can search the directory free of charge without registration, while print shops pay for premium visibility and enhanced listings. The companion portal druckanfrage-online.de handles the actual print request quote forwarding.

Direct peers

• druckanfrage-online.de: Partner portal that handles print quote request forwarding for druckereien.info, processing inquiries submitted via the directory and distributing them to partner printers for competitive quotes. Operates the same two-sided marketplace logic for the German print industry.
• 4print: German print comparison and lead-generation platform enabling buyers to obtain quotes from multiple printers. Directly comparable as a directory/aggregator serving the same print buyer and print shop segments.
• print.de: German print portal and directory offering print shop listings and print services comparison for buyers. Competes directly with druckereien.info in the German print discovery and lead-generation space.
• Onlineprint: German online print marketplace and comparison platform helping buyers find print products and suppliers. Directly comparable directory/marketplace function serving German print buyers and print shops.

Broad incumbents

• Unitedprint: International online print group operating multiple brands including print24. Comparable as a broad incumbent with cross-border print fulfillment competing for the same German-speaking buyer base.
• Flyeralarm: Major European online print provider offering direct online ordering across a broad catalog (business cards, flyers, large-format, etc.). Represents the broader-incumbent threat: a vertically integrated player that absorbs the directory use case by owning the entire transaction.
• CEWE: Major European printing and photo services company with significant German-market presence. Comparable as a broad incumbent in print services with its own discovery, ordering, and fulfillment infrastructure.
• print24: Large online print platform operated by unitedprint, offering broad commercial print services with direct ordering. Comparable as a broad incumbent that competes for the same German-language print buyer demand via a different (direct-fulfillment) model.

Emerging players

• wir-machen-Druck: German online print provider offering a broad range of printed products through an online ordering workflow. Comparable as an emerging online print platform competing for the same SMB and consumer print demand druckereien.info's buyers represent.

Others

• Yelp (DE) / Local business directories: General-purpose local business directories that compete for print-shop-discovery search traffic. While not print-specific, they serve as an alternative channel for buyers searching for local print shops and constrain druckereien.info's SEO-driven demand.
