"I used the site to create thank you cards for my children to send. As a busy mum of 3 I have little time to spare to write out individual thank you cards to everyone who kindly give my children gifts. Using this site means I can quickly create personal cards that say it all, and all I have to do is write the address on the envelope! And people love to receive cards with pictures of the children on too. I have already recommended you to several of my friend, one of which has placed an order. "

Optimalprint joins the robust German printing industry. A world leader in the export of printing equipment, and home to almost 12,000 printing companies, the German market is dominated by smaller, private printing presses, where 95 percent of the printers employ fewer than 100 workers.
As digital printing technology reshapes the industry, Optimalprint's array of innovative online printing solutions reduces up to 90 percent of print costs for the SMB market. In terms of online presence, Germany is among Europe’s most developed countries. With a population of over 82 million people, and Internet usage reaching 61.1 percent (Nielsen NetRatings - May 2007), it’s only natural that an online printer would harness this connectivity to help lower business operating costs in Germany. SMBs nationwide will benefit from Optimalprint’s online printing solutions.
Optimalprint brings increased competition within the online digital and offset printing services in Europe. According to the Spanish National Statistics Institute www.nsi.es, there are over 3,3 million registered companies in Spain of which almost 90% have less than 6 employees. Optimalprint’s online printing solution reduces print costs for the SMB market with up to 90%. Entrepreneurs and small businesses get access to a very cost efficient printing solution, supporting increased growth and profitability.
“With 45 million inhabitants in Spain, the country is an important market for online companies focusing on South Europe. Broadband penetration in Spain is increasing rapidly, representing a 34% growth rate in broadband penetration between 2006 and 2007, reaching about 40%. More and more customers in Spain are using the Internet to cut costs while improving services”, said Henrik Müller-Hansen, Optimalprint’s CEO.
Wedding invitations, birth announcements, christening invitations, party invitations, menu cards, thank you cards, postcards, business cards, letterheads, brochures, flyers, folders and envelopes are only a few of the print items that will now be available at www.optimalprint.es to the Spanish customers.
“Christer brings an incredible wealth of knowledge and wisdom to Optimalprint. During the last 30 years, he has held various top-management positions in large multinational companies such as Ericsson AB as well as within the non-profit business community as Vice President of the Confederation of Swedish Enterprises. We are excited and honoured that Christer has chosen Optimalprint as one of his first private sector boards to serve on,” said Henrik Müller-Hansen, Optimalprint’s CEO. “Christer’s extraordinary credentials and broad experience will significantly complement the management team in developing the growth strategy and executing on our aggressive expansion.”
“Henrik and his team have done an amazing job in building Optimalprint, from nothing, to one of Europe’s fastest growing online printing companies in less than 6 months. I have been particularly impressed with how much the team has accomplished with extremely limited financial resources,” said Christer Elmehagen. “The company’s commitment to construct a user-friendly, and fully automated ordering and production process for online printing, results in a fascinating business opportunity and considerable customer growth without increasing the production input factors.”
"Our aspiration is to build a full European online printing service. Until today, we have offered printing services in Sweden and Norway. Launching Optimalprint’s online printing service also in Denmark will strengthen our Nordic position. We take part in transforming the printing industry, an enormous industry with significant need for more competition and consolidation. In most cases, we save our customers more than 50% of their printing costs" says Henrik Müller-Hansen, CEO of Optimalprint.
Printing services in the Nordic region – Sweden, Denmark and Norway – are heading for increased competition. The Nordic print market was estimated at 2,5 billion Euros for 2006. Printing production and related printing services for Western Europe were at 120-130 billion Euros for 2006. Private consumers and small & medium-sized companies constitute a considerable part of the European printing market but are charged outrageous amounts for printing services. Optimalprint supports both private and corporate customers with design templates. These templates can be personalized with logos, pictures and text directly over the Internet.
Challenging the Traditional Printing Industry
"At Optimalprint, we come from the telecom and consulting industries, where there are constant fierce competition and a need of continuous adaptation. Our experience from these industries strengthens our chances to succeed in a “tired” and traditional printing industry, in need of rapid change. We are convinced that the print market will change radically within the coming years and the volume of online printing services will explode.
Launching Optimalprint in Denmark will give the Danish corporations and private consumers access to online printing services at significantly lower prices"
