Marqetspace is an online trade printing platform operating as a trading name of Nettl Systems Limited, headquartered at the Hyphen Building, 75 Mosley Street, Manchester M2 3HR. The company serves graphics professionals — including designers, print shops, marketing agencies, and sign makers — by offering members-only trade pricing on a broad range of printed products, with free UK mainland delivery and next-day delivery on selected litho printed items. Customers self-serve through an online ordering system, uploading print-ready files and configuring products, supported by a human helpdesk (Astro Assist).

The product portfolio spans business essentials (business cards, booklets, stationery, envelopes, folders, stickers), marketing collateral (leaflets, flyers, posters, postcards, NCR pads), exhibition and display products (roller banners, fabric displays, flags, gazebos, modular floor displays), signage (vinyl graphics, foamex, acrylic, Correx boards, PVC banners, LED wall boxes, eco signage), and clothing/workwear with both DTF (Direct-to-Film) printing and embroidery decoration. Notable 2025 launches include Modular Floor Displays, LED Wall Boxes, Wall Boxes, Eco Signage (PVC-free alternatives), Standard Waterproof Posters, Table Talkers, Door Hangers, Beer Mats, and Cocktail Tables.

The business model is transaction-based, with revenue generated through per-order sales of printed products and garments at trade rates exclusive to registered members, plus VAT applied separately. Distribution runs through a direct-to-customer e-commerce platform complemented by the Nettl Brand Partner Programme, which enables resellers and partner studios to source trade printing through Marqetspace. The company operates only in the United Kingdom, has no physical retail locations, and reports an 'Excellent' TrustPilot rating.
