What Unicolor does

Unicolor S.p.A. a socio unico is an Italian industrial photographic laboratory founded around 1970 and headquartered in Azzano Decimo (Pordenone), operating from a single production facility with 65 specialized employees and a registered share capital of €1,800,000. The company runs a web-to-print platform through which customers upload graphic files to order a wide range of printed products at resolutions up to 1728 dpi, spanning photo prints, photo books, wedding albums, business cards, brochures, banners, and home décor panels on substrates including plexiglass, aluminum, glass, wood, forex, and Dbond.

The business is structured as a portfolio of wholly-owned sub-brands, each with its own portal and customer focus: Rikorda for consumer photo printing, Aurora Book for 100% Made in Italy wedding albums aimed at professional photographers and couples, Print66 for commercial and business printing, and Acriliko for premium home décor printing sold through B2B retailers and distributors. Underlying these brands is a proprietary software stack — Rikorda Touch and GetPhoto for B2B photo retailers, plus Aurora Book Software for album layout — and a remote-assistance support layer (TeamViewer) used for partner onboarding and troubleshooting.

Unicolor monetizes primarily through transactional fees on B2C e-commerce orders and B2B wholesale orders placed via the partner network, with a standard €3.90 per-shipment delivery charge and cash-on-delivery as the default payment term. Go-to-market combines product-led web-to-print portals with a channel-partner model: a domestic network of 'fotonegozi' photo shops, zonal field sales agents, and an active 2025 effort to recruit international distributors and sales agents for the Acriliko line.
