Online channels

printing.com’s acquisition of the Dutch online printing company MFG BV was reported to the London Stock Exchange on 8 November 2010.[8] The company consequently acquired the websites Flyerzone.nl, Drukland.nl and Printrepublic.nl.

printing.com launched its first UK web2print channel, BrandDemand, at the start of 2011.[9]

The intended launch of the UK version of the Flyerzone.nl site, Flyerzone.co.uk, was reported at the end of July 2011 via printing.com's AGM Statement.[10] The French version of the Flyerzone site, Flyerzone.fr, was launched in August 2011.[11] The following year the company announced plans to add their template software to this site in the final quarter of 2012.[12]

printing.com's web2print software and systems use InDesign Server technology to build print design templates.[13] On 7 November 2011 printing.com’s CEO, Tony Rafferty, reported the launch of a further website, TemplateCloud.com. The aim of this site is to establish an online library of editable print design templates crowdsourced from freelance designers to be resold on a royalty basis.[14] In 2015 Printing.com sold the websites Drukland.nl, Drukland.be, Flyerzone.nl and Printrepublic.nl to Simian B.V. for a total of EUR 2.4 million.[15]
