Corgraf

What Corgraf does

Corgraf (legal name Grupo Corgraf) is a Brazilian full-service commercial printing company headquartered in Colombo, State of Parana, with over 40 years of continuous market presence. The company operates an integrated production facility combining pre-press, offset printing (up to 8 colors in-line plus varnish), digital printing, large-format printing, automated cutting and creasing, high-precision gluing (4 and 6 glue points), and finishing services including lamination, UV varnish (full and spot), hot stamping, and embossing. Its product portfolio spans corporate print materials, carton and paper packaging with proprietary structural design (Cartotecnica Integrada), labels, catalogs, signage, and promotional items. The company maintains ISO 9001:2015 quality management certification alongside FSC chain-of-custody, Selo Clima Parana (2023), soy-based inks, and 100% renewable energy operations, and has earned multiple Fernando Pini, Oscar Schrappe Sobrinho, Premio Abacaxi, and Theobaldo de Nigris graphic excellence awards.

Underlying technology centers on a calibrated pre-press workflow with ICC profiles per paper-ink combination, Pantone special-color formulation, and technical supervision during press runs to control dot gain, gradation, and contrast, supporting consistent color fidelity across print runs and across multiple print providers in franchise networks. Corgraf has developed Pressexpress, a proprietary online B2B platform that allows franchise and subsidiary networks to order standardized branded print materials through a centralized catalog with user, order, and payment management. The company also offers an augmented reality print service that overlays digital content on physical materials via mobile scanning, and publishes a free e-book and technical guide library as a content marketing and client education channel.

Corgraf runs a sales-led B2B go-to-market, generating revenue primarily through custom project-based quoting for offset, digital, packaging, and finishing work, with the Pressexpress platform handling standardized recurring orders for franchise clients. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; clients engage via phone, email, WhatsApp, website contact forms, or the Pressexpress portal. The customer base spans corporate businesses (primary), franchise networks and large retail chains (primary), product packaging manufacturers, the education sector, and events/trade show organizers. The company is privately held, family/founder-influenced under Director Vicente Linares, with no disclosed external investment, parent company, or M&A activity.

Emerging players

• Printful: Printful is a digital-first on-demand printing and fulfillment platform. It intersects with Corgraf on print-on-demand and corporate branded merchandise, though it operates primarily in apparel and digital channels rather than offset commercial printing.
• Packhelp: Packhelp is a European online packaging platform offering custom printed packaging with short-run capability. It competes with Corgraf in the customization and short-run packaging segment, particularly for SMEs and DTC brands seeking digital ordering.

Broad incumbents

• Cimpress (Vistaprint): Cimpress, parent of Vistaprint, is a global leader in mass-customized print and marketing products. While operating at a vastly larger scale, it competes with Corgraf in the corporate print and franchise/branch materials segment through its online ordering platforms.
• Quad/Graphics: Quad/Graphics is a large North American-based commercial printing and marketing services provider. Comparable in business model (commercial printing, packaging, integrated marketing services) but at much greater scale and geographic reach.

Direct peers

• Posigraf: Posigraf is a major Brazilian commercial printing company (also recognized alongside Corgraf with the Selo Clima Paraná). It directly competes with Corgraf in offset, digital, and packaging printing for corporate clients in southern Brazil.
• Gráfica Santa Marta: Gráfica Santa Marta is a long-established Brazilian commercial printer serving corporate and packaging clients. Comparable product portfolio (offset, digital, packaging, finishing) and similar B2B customer focus.
• Plural Gráfica: Plural Gráfica is a Brazilian printing company offering offset, digital, large-format, and packaging services. Directly competes with Corgraf in the commercial and packaging printing segment.
• Kingraf: Kingraf is a Brazilian graphic production company also awarded the Selo Clima Paraná alongside Corgraf. It is a regional peer in the Parana printing market with overlapping offset and packaging capabilities.
• Gráfica Edigraf: Edigraf is a Brazilian commercial printer serving corporate and franchise clients with offset, digital, and packaging services. Comparable to Corgraf in product mix and B2B customer focus.

Others

• Abigraf (Brazilian Graphic Industry Association): Abigraf is the Brazilian graphic industry association that administers the Fernando Pini award Corgraf has won multiple times. It is an ecosystem/industry body rather than a competitor, but it shapes the competitive landscape and credibility framework in which Corgraf operates.
