What Graphiline does

Graphiline is a French B2B digital media platform dedicated to the graphic arts industry, operated by Infodustrie SAS and headquartered in Étampes, France. Founded in 1999, the company publishes daily news coverage across eight thematic verticals — printing, packaging/labeling, visual communication, paper, graphic creation, digital, press/edition, and environment — serving printing professionals, packaging manufacturers, label converters, visual communication specialists, and paper industry participants in France. The platform is delivered through a website (Graphiline.com), a weekly email newsletter (Graphiline Hebdo), an integrated job board (Graphic-Jobs.com), and a podcast distributed across Apple Podcasts, Deezer, Spotify, Amazon Music, and Google Podcasts. Articles dated July 2026 confirm active daily publishing operations.

The underlying technology is a web-based content management platform with multi-format distribution (text, audio podcast, newsletter) and an integrated recruitment marketplace. The platform aggregates fragmented industry information — equipment investments, regulatory updates (PPWR, environmental), product launches, M&A activity, and training opportunities — into a single vertical-specific hub, saving subscribers time across the print value chain. Active commenting functionality, moderation guidelines, and coverage of major industry events (Labelexpo, Drupa, Allforpack) further extend the community engagement layer.

Graphiline monetizes through two primary revenue streams: advertising and sponsored content placements (publireportages distributed via site, RSS, and email alerts), and subscription-based job board services through Graphic-Jobs.com. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The company operates without external funding, holds EUR 100,300 in share capital, and serves exclusively the French market. Editorial leadership includes Director of Publication Yann Venance and Editor-in-Chief Faustine Loison, supported by a team of specialist editors covering printing/packaging, digital transformation, and industry history.
