Druckerei Schmidt

What Druckerei Schmidt does

Druckerei Schmidt, legally Schprint GmbH (also trading as Druckerei F&W Schmidt), is a family-owned commercial printer founded in 1970 and headquartered in Weil der Stadt in the Böblingen district of Baden-Württemberg, Germany. The company provides offset and digital printing, in-house prepress (typesetting, graphics, data processing and programming), finishing services (including specialty micro-folding / Kleinstfalzungen, die-cutting, embossing, gluing and stapling), and integrated shipping logistics. Its product portfolio spans brochures, catalogs, prospectuses, business stationery, presentation folders, notepads and labels, with a recognized specialty in pharmaceutical package inserts (Beipackzettel), outserts and product information leaflets requiring AMG § 11 compliance.

The technology stack is anchored on a custom-built web-to-print platform for self-service ordering and shop management, alongside offset and digital printing presses and a 370-module rooftop photovoltaic system that generates more electricity than the facility consumes. The company is continuously certified to ISO 9001 (quality) and ISO 14001 (environmental) by TÜV SÜD since July 2005, holds FSC C106855 chain-of-custody certification, and is a member of the CO2 Klimainitiative of the Bundesverband Druck und Medien, enabling it to offer per-order CO2 calculation and certificate-based compensation. Customer segments include pharmaceutical, automotive, industrial manufacturing, retail/consumer goods, publishing, insurance and municipal clients, served through both a regional B2B direct-sales motion and the web-to-print channel for standardized products.

Revenue mechanics are project-based: quotes are issued per print job based on volume, paper, finishing and run length, with pricing not publicly disclosed and no subscription or SaaS-style recurring revenue stream. The company sells primarily into the Baden-Württemberg industrial corridor but executes international deliveries with customs clearance for globally networked customers. GTM is hybrid, combining personal consultation led by Managing Director Florian Scharpf with a self-serve web shop, and no inbound paid marketing, social selling or PLG funnel is present in the available data.

Direct peers

• Onlineprinters (Unitedprint Group): German online commercial printer serving pan-European B2B customers with web-to-print ordering for flyers, brochures, business stationery, and packaging — directly comparable GTM and product mix to Schmidt's web-to-print offering.
• Edelmann: German pharmaceutical and consumer goods packaging printer specializing in folding cartons, leaflets, and inserts — highly comparable to Schmidt's Beipackzettel/Packungsbeilagen niche and AMG-compliant pharma print focus.
• Wir machen Druck: German online commercial printer (backed by Bertelsmann) offering web-to-print self-service for SMB print products; directly competes with Schmidt's online shop on standardized flyers, business cards, and brochures.
