What Bvd Druck + Verlag Ag does

BVD Druck+Verlag AG is a privately held, family-owned printing and advertising technology company headquartered in Schaan, Liechtenstein, founded in 1923. The company operates two modern printing centers in Schaan (the main headquarters on Landstrasse and the Werbetechnik advertising technology branch on Im alten Riet) plus a wholly-owned German subsidiary, BVD Deutschland GmbH, in Konstanz. Its service portfolio spans offset and digital printing for brochures, books, magazines, catalogs, business stationery, calendars, labels, and personalized print products; advertising technology including 3M-certified vehicle wrapping, elevator wrapping, outdoor advertising, trade show construction, room design, and promotional products; window films (3M sun protection films and safety/security films); and paper product retail via the COPYPAPER brand. The company also operates the balleristo (personalized sports balls) and folioristo (personalized foil products) e-commerce storefronts, alongside B2B self-service portals web.connect and my.bvd.li.

The underlying technology platform combines an offset and digital print production base with web-to-print portals powered by a long-standing partnership with Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG, XMPie personalization/variable data printing technology for multi-channel direct mail campaigns, the Jumper e-publication system for interactive digital publications, and the CCVision auto design tool for vehicle wrapping configurators. Pre-press and image processing capabilities were expanded via the acquisition of Prepair Druckvorstufen. Customer authentication supports both local accounts and social logins via Facebook, Google, Microsoft, and Twitter.

BVD's business model is a hybrid of enterprise field sales targeting B2B customers in Liechtenstein, Switzerland, and Germany, sales-led direct consultation at its facilities, and direct-to-consumer e-commerce. Revenue streams include one-time custom print orders, subscription-style ongoing B2B portal services, professional services for advertising technology installations, and paper product retail. The company positions itself as climate-neutral across all print production, holds FSC, EU Ecolabel, and Blue Angel certifications on its paper products, and is managed by Geschäftsführer Peter Göppel. Geographic scope is concentrated in the DACH region (Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Germany) with selective EU reach via the balleristo.com storefront.
