Mediaprint solutions

What Mediaprint solutions does

Mediaprint solutions GmbH is a German full-service commercial printing and bookbinding company headquartered in Paderborn (Eggertstraße 28, 33100), serving B2B and B2C customers across the DACH region and broader Europe. The company combines three printing technologies under one roof — offset (runs from 250 copies), digital with matte toner (editions as low as 1), and high-speed inkjet at up to 150 meters per minute with Fogra-certified quality — together with industrial bookbinding (thread sewing/Fadenheftung, PUR adhesive binding, hardcover, wire-O) and automatic register punching (Rega 5). Its service portfolio spans books, catalogs, price lists, brochures, and technical documentation with stated durability up to 20 years, supported by warehousing, same-day delivery, and international shipping.

The business model is project-based commercial printing, with quote-based pricing on runs from edition 1 to 50,000 copies and revenue streams covering print production, binding and finishing, full-service logistics, and publishing/process consulting. Go-to-market combines a direct enterprise field-sales motion (targeting publishers and industrial manufacturers) with an API-first self-service channel through its Order-Connect interface and SAP Business Network integration (supplier number AN01576500564), which handles 98% of incoming orders. Customer segments are horizontally diversified across publishers (Verlage), industrial companies producing catalogs and technical documentation, craftsmen/trades, and retail/consumer brands offering personalized print products. Demand-based production (bedarfsgerechte Produktion) is the central value proposition, reducing inventory capital, warehouse costs, and overproduction waste for customers.
