Print.com’s first year in the UK has seen strategic growth, new acquisitions, and loyalty programme launch
It’s been a busy year for Print.com. Just twelve months ago, the international print platform made its UK debut at The Print Show, with its signature Airline-themed “Frequent Flyer” stand. Visitors were greeted not only by bold branding but also by the irresistible aroma of freshly baked Stroopwafels, a sweet nod to Print.com’s Dutch heritage that’s now become a beloved tradition. And yes, they’ll be back again this year.
“Last year was all about making a statement,” says Fiona Robinson, UK Country Captain. “We wanted to announce that Print.com had landed. The Print Show gave us the perfect stage to meet print professionals face-to-face, show them what we’re all about, and reassure them that while we may be new to the UK, we’re backed by a well-established business in mainland Europe and a highly experienced crew in the UK.”
Print.com is a platform built by print professionals, for print professionals. Orders can be placed directly via the web app or integrated with their software using the Print.com Toolbox.
International expansion has been central to Print.com’s growth strategy. After launching in the Netherlands in 2018, the company quickly expanded into Belgium (2019), followed by France (2020), Germany (2020), and Austria (2022). The UK marked its first venture outside the Eurozone, with the Manchester-based office opening in May 2024. Since then, Print.com has continued its European journey, launching in Denmark, Spain, and Italy.
In addition to its in-house production capabilities, Print.com partners with over 200 specialised print providers across Europe, including a growing network in the UK. The platform offers an extensive product range, from small format digital and litho print to large format, packaging, signage, promotional gifts, clothing, and more. If it can be printed, Print.com has it covered.
Investing in a prominent international position
2025 has been a transformative year for Print.Group (the parent company behind Print.com) focusing on future-proofing production and fulfilment while reinforcing its position across Europe.
In February, Print.Group acquired Simian, a leading online printer, along with its 23,000m² production facility in the Netherlands as well as several prominent online brands.
Marco Aarnink, CEO and Founder, commented. “This acquisition delivers immediate economies of scale. Our customers expect shorter runs, faster delivery, as wells as a broader and more sustainable product range. Simian’s optimised facility helps us meet those demands, while staying ahead both in terms of cost efficiency and innovation.”
Expanding the Toolbox: Smart Software for Smart Print
March saw the acquisition of ISI Publishing Innovators, specialists in workflow and print management software. This move expands the Print.com Toolbox with brand portals, white-label shops, order portals, and a DAM system.
“This aligns perfectly with our platform-first philosophy,” says Fiona Robinson, UK Country Captain. “We’re not just about print—we’re about saving time and streamlining creative workflows. With our UK team’s experience in this space, we’re excited to bring these innovations to our customers.”
Building a UK Supply Chain with Transparency
Over the past year, the UK team has focused on establishing a local supply chain to support Print.com’s vast product range. The newly launched ‘Flag Selector’ tool gives customers full visibility into production origin, turnaround times, pricing, and shipping, empowering smarter decisions for every job.
“We understand that European fulfilment isn’t always the best fit, especially for bulkier orders or tighter deadlines. Transparency of choice matters. While price is important, quality and service will always be our top priorities, no matter where your product is produced.”

Print.com will be unveiling the Frequent Flyer Club at The Print Show, their loyalty programme exclusively for print professionals.
