What Graphic Net Print does

Graphic Net Print, legally Graphic Netprint Corporation (株式会社グラフィックネットプリント), is a privately held Japanese online printing company headquartered at Shimobamba Higashiseregawa-cho 33 in Fushimi-ku, Kyoto. It operates the Insatsu no Tsuhan Graphic e-commerce platform at graphic.jp and serves consumers nationwide with flat-rate shipping of 350 JPY, supplemented by a physical print shop (Kyoto Takeda Store) for counter pickup and on-site ordering. The company reports 1.32 million total users and 1.2 million registered members as of June 2026, and has been ranked #1 in the Oricon Customer Satisfaction Survey for Japanese online print e-commerce in 2026 (2 consecutive years) and in the 2025 GMO Customer Satisfaction Ranking.

The platform is a self-serve direct-to-consumer e-commerce site offering 300+ print product categories — including business cards, postcards, flyers, posters, booklets, pamphlets, tickets, envelopes, packaging, stickers, clear files, cards, panels, T-shirts, novelty goods, calendars, paper fans, disc media, and 3D printing — backed by 400+ paper types and 7 quality/finish tiers ranging from on-demand to offset, GraphicVision 280-line HD, wide-gamut 6-7 color, white ink, and on-demand foil. Production runs on a hybrid UV offset plus high-end digital (FM screening) stack that handles orders from 1 copy to 100,000+ units with same-day shipping on orders submitted by 11:00 AM. Proprietary tooling — Smappri Design web-based design tool, HacoRaku Illustrator plugin for box dielines, Direct Upload Plugin v3, and Smart Check automated data validation with 3D preview — reduces customer effort and minimizes print errors. The company also bundles print and postal dispatch through the DMまるごとセット direct mail service and operates a COMIC GRAPHIC sub-brand serving the doujinshi and fan goods community.

Revenue is generated primarily through one-time transactional purchases of print goods priced per unit by product, quantity, paper, and turnaround, with add-on revenue from professional design services, surface finishing and specialty process options (foil, embossing, UV varnish, lamination), and an affiliate program currently paying a 4% commission. Distribution is concentrated in a single domestic Japan market; customer segments span SMBs, event organizers, restaurants, doujinshi circles, individual consumers, and political campaigns, and the company offers FSC-certified, JAPAN COLOR-certified, and LIMEX eco-material options to address sustainability-minded buyers.

Direct peers

• しまうまプリントシステム: しまうまプリント is a Japanese online commercial printer focused on calendars, business cards, and short-run print products. It competes with Graphic on the same self-serve e-commerce model, lower-tier pricing, and same-day shipping — particularly for the SMB and individual consumer segments.
• Printpac (プリントパック): Printpac is a long-standing Japanese online commercial printer specializing in flyers, pamphlets, business cards, and stickers with a national delivery footprint. It is a direct mirror of Graphic's online ordering, volume-discount, and same-day shipping model, competing head-to-head on price-per-unit for SMB print buyers.
• MOO: MOO is a premium online business-card and print brand serving SMBs and creative professionals with elevated paper stocks and specialty finishes (e.g., foil). Graphic's white-ink, on-demand foil, and wide-multi-color products target the same premium-tier customer that MOO addresses internationally.
• Raksul: Raksul is Japan's largest publicly listed online commercial print marketplace, offering business cards, flyers, pamphlets, and promotional products directly comparable to Graphic's core catalog. Both compete on price, turnaround, and self-serve design tooling, with Graphic holding the brand-satisfaction lead while Raksul has the larger scale.
• アドプリント (Adprint / グラフィオ): Adprint is a Japanese online commercial printer offering flyers, business cards, books, and paper-media products with quick turnaround and nationwide shipping. It is a tier-2 competitor in the same Japan-domestic online print category Graphic dominates.

Emerging players

• Canva: Canva is a global design platform increasingly adding print-on-demand services. It overlaps with Graphic's Smappri Design web tool as the upstream design layer for SMB marketing assets and is a long-term emerging threat/partner for the design-to-print workflow.
• OvernightPrints: OvernightPrints is an online commercial printer offering next-day delivery on business cards, flyers, and postcards, predominantly in the US/Europe. It mirrors Graphic's same-day shipping value proposition and competes in the same short-run print product category internationally.

Broad incumbents

• Vistaprint (Cimpress): Vistaprint / Cimpress is the global SMB print platform that pioneered the online business-card and marketing-collateral category Graphic operates in. It is not in Japan, but its category-defining product model, design tools, and manufacturing network are the canonical reference point for evaluating Graphic's GTM and product breadth.

Regional players

• JAM (Japan Advertising Media): JAM is a Japanese commercial print and marketing-services provider serving SMBs with both online ordering and B2B print services. It is comparable to Graphic's overall business model — self-serve e-commerce plus direct-sales support — and competes on a regional/national Japan footprint.

Others

• GotPrint: GotPrint is a US online commercial print platform with similar self-serve e-commerce, volume pricing, and product breadth (business cards, postcards, flyers, banners). It is relevant as a comparable operational archetype for Graphic's e-commerce print model, though geographic markets do not overlap.
