What chapazon does

Chapazon (legal entity: Espad Toseh Novin Company) is an Iranian B2B/B2C online marketplace serving the country's printing, packaging, paper/cardboard, and office supply industries. The platform operates a tender/auction system in which buyers post specifications for print jobs, packaging, or paper/cardboard purchases, and competing printshops, graphic designers, and material suppliers submit bids, with orders fulfilled and tracked through a dashboard. The product surface is organized into several integrated modules: a Print & Packaging Tendering system, a dedicated Paper & Cardboard Market with real-time pricing (paper.chapazon.com), an e-commerce Store for office supplies and consumables, a Machinery marketplace, a Daily Market Rate tracker, an Organizational Dashboard for corporate clients with multi-user and credit purchasing functionality, and a forthcoming AI Agent for product queries and order matching. Chapazon also offers Chapazon Pay as an in-house credit product and has partnered with DigiPay to provide installment payment options.

The company monetizes primarily by charging commissions to printshops and service providers on transactions routed through the platform, while customer registration and tender creation remain free. Pricing is predominantly quote-based via the tender/auction mechanism, with some retail items carrying fixed prices and an optional paid expert monitoring service available on a subscription basis. Chapazon targets individual consumers, SMBs, and corporate/organizational buyers across Iran, with active operations currently concentrated in Tehran and Karaj and stated intent to expand nationwide. The company is privately held, headquartered in Tehran, and operates with a small disclosed headcount of 5 employees; it holds standard Iranian e-commerce trust certifications (enamad, samandehi, mojavez) and distributes through its own web storefronts plus a multi-channel social presence.
