Staffel Medien

What Staffel Medien does

Staffel Medien AG is a family-owned, owner-managed full-service media house headquartered in Au ZH near Zurich, Switzerland, founded in 1991 by Albert and Ralf Weissbaum. The company operates an integrated service portfolio spanning strategic consulting (brand concept, communication strategy, project management), creation services (graphic design, copywriting, photography, 3D visualization, website development), prepress (layout, typography, editorial-system management, data preparation), and physical print production (digital printing, offset printing, finishing, lettershop/mailing), delivered primarily to Swiss SMEs and selected larger enterprises such as the University of Zurich, Credit Suisse Funds AG, Willis Towers Watson, and Stadt Zürich. The technical centerpiece is the Web2Print Business Portal (shop.staffelmedien.ch), an online ordering platform offering 24/7 self-service procurement, CI/CD-compliant template management, approval workflows, and cost-center integration, supplemented by the vjoon K4 editorial system for recurring publication workflows. Commercial reach is multi-channel: direct field sales for enterprise accounts, the Web2Print portal for mid-market and SME customers, the Trauerkartenshop.com and Copyshop storefronts for B2C and walk-in traffic, plus content marketing through the StaffelNews customer magazine and social channels. Revenue is generated through a mix of transactional print-job pricing, recurring Web2Print subscriptions or volume agreements, and professional-services fees for creative, consulting, and prepress work, with pricing quoted individually rather than publicly listed. The company is privately held, has no external funding, and relocated to a larger lakeside facility in Au ZH in November 2025 while retaining a secondary office in Wädenswil.
