Web to Print for Commercial Print
With printQ, your customers design business stationery and marketing materials quickly and easily online. Business cards, flyers, postcards – and much more – all configured, personalized, and submitted for printing in just a few steps.
printQ lets your customers design and order everyday commercial print themselves — business cards, flyers, postcards, stationery, and marketing materials — in just a few steps online. They configure the product, personalize it in the browser, and submit it for printing, while the order flows automatically into production behind the scenes.
Commercial print is high in volume and low in complexity per item, which is exactly why manual handling doesn't pay. printQ turns these everyday products into fast self-service orders, so customers get a smooth experience and your shop skips the repetitive back-and-forth that used to sit between enquiry and print.
The everyday products your customers order most
printQ covers the core of commercial print — the standard business and marketing products customers reorder again and again. Business cards, flyers, postcards, letterheads, and the wider range of business stationery and marketing materials are all configured and ordered from the same platform. These are the jobs that make up the bulk of a commercial shop's volume, and handling them by hand — quoting, specifying, chasing artwork — is where time and margin quietly disappear.
Because these products are standardized, they're ideal for self-service. The specifications are predictable, so customers can configure exactly what they need without a conversation, and your team is freed from the repetitive handling that standard print otherwise demands.
Design and personalize online, in a few steps
The heart of the experience is the WYSIWYG online designer — customers create professional print products in the browser with no design skills. They add text, logos, and images and see the result exactly as it will print, so what they design is what they get. An accurate print preview in 2D, 3D, and live view builds confidence before they commit, and a large Template Gallery gives them a professional starting point rather than a blank page — which matters most for the small-business and private customers who make up much of commercial print demand.
The whole path is deliberately short. Configure, personalize, submit — in just a few steps, with mobile image upload via QR code letting customers bring in photos straight from a phone. The easier the ordering, the more standard print work customers place online rather than by email or in person.
Personalization and variable data at volume
printQ handles personalized commercial print efficiently, from a single custom card to large data-driven runs. For high-volume personalization — name-and-title business card sets across a company, mailers, or versioned marketing pieces — Variable Data Printing support (PDF/VT) generates each variant from source data rather than manual edits. Existing InDesign templates move into the system with minimal effort, so established layouts become the basis for fast, repeatable ordering.
What this means for you is that "personalized" no longer means "manual." Whether a customer orders one card or a thousand personalized ones, the same automated pipeline produces them, so personalization becomes a selling point instead of a production burden.
Configured online, into production automatically
Every order customers submit flows straight into production without manual re-entry. printQ prices each product automatically as it's configured, so orders arrive complete and correctly specified. The Dynamic Preflight Check then validates every file on submission, catching resolution and format issues before they reach the press, and approved jobs pass directly into the production workflow — connected through an open API to the ERP, MIS, and prepress systems you already run. The result is a smooth few-step experience for the customer and an automated, auditable path to print for your shop.
Built to scale and integrate
printQ is modular, expandable, and enormously scalable — from a single source. Its Magento-based, headless architecture integrates with nearly any online shop, with ready-made connectors for Magento, Shopify, and BigCommerce so you can add commercial-print ordering to an established storefront without a rebuild. From a first product range to a full catalog across many portals, the platform grows with the business — which is why printers of every size trust CloudLab's software.
