RPS Imprimerie

What RPS Imprimerie does

RPS Imprimerie is a privately held commercial printing company founded in 1966 and headquartered in Saint-Gratien, Val-d'Oise, France. It operates a complete in-house graphic production chain across offset, digital, large format (UV flatbed to 3050×2050 mm), letterpress, héliogravure, finishing (lamination, varnishing, gilding, embossing, die-cutting), an in-house creative studio, and end-to-end project management. Equipment includes HP 12000, Ricoh 9200/7200, and Xerox high-volume digital presses, with FOGRA 39-certified colorimetric matching ensuring consistent output between offset and digital methods.

The company serves four primary B2B segments — communication agencies, small and medium enterprises (PME), local authorities (collectivités), and industrial/large accounts — across the Île-de-France region with delivery available throughout France. Pricing is quote-based and project-specific (no standard tiers); a Web-to-Print portal extends a recurring, self-service ordering channel to multi-site enterprises and franchise networks. A retail reprography boutique, RPS REPRO (Ermont), handles walk-in quick-print jobs. The company holds Imprim'Vert, PEFC, FSC, and FOGRA 39 certifications, positioning it for sustainability-mandated public-sector tenders.

Operationally, RPS Imprimerie is a small, regionally anchored printing services firm of approximately 15 employees with no disclosed external investment, ownership structure, or recent leadership changes. Revenue is not publicly disclosed and there is no evidence of M&A, fundraising, or geographic expansion beyond Île-de-France since the 2008 Saint-Gratien workshop opening. The business is stable, multi-segment, and certification-rich, but lacks identifiable growth catalysts at the data surface.

Broad incumbents

• Multi-Color Corporation: Global label and packaging printing group with significant commercial printing capabilities. Comparable on press technology and finishing expertise, though anchored in labels/packaging rather than the agency/SME/local-authority mix that defines RPS.
• Toppan Holdings: Global printing and information communications group with strong commercial-print, packaging, and security-print operations. Overlaps with RPS in commercial offset/digital print and finishing, though Toppan is a diversified multinational.
• Donnelley Financial Solutions: US-focused commercial and financial printing services provider serving capital markets, compliance, and corporate communications. Overlaps with RPS in offset and digital print plus finishing for regulated, deadline-sensitive documents.
• Dai Nippon Printing (DNP): One of the world's largest printing conglomerates with commercial printing, packaging, and information communication services. Comparable on commercial print offerings while operating at dramatically larger scale and with broader geographic reach.
• Quad/Graphics: Large US-headquartered commercial printing group offering offset, digital, and finishing across catalogs, magazines, retail, and direct mail. Broadly comparable on commercial print capabilities and customer segments, but at far greater scale and North American geographic focus.

Direct peers

• IN Groupe (formerly Imprimerie Nationale): French printing and identity solutions company with deep public-sector and secure-document credentials. Directly comparable as a French printing operation serving collectivités and large institutional clients, though its secure-print and identity verticals are absent at RPS.
• Cimpress (Vistaprint parent): Global commercial printing and web-to-print platform operating Vistaprint and multiple other brands. Direct overlap with RPS on commercial print, digital printing, web-to-print ordering portals, and business card/flyer product lines, though at vastly larger scale and geographic reach.
