PressWerk*

Print the work.
Skip the file fixing.

PressWerk audits and repairs every customer file before it reaches your shop, then routes it to you based on the equipment you actually own. You quote your rates, you keep your margin, the customer collects at your counter.

HOW ROUTING WORKS

PressWerk never guarantees a minimum number of leads, orders, or revenue. at any stage. Customers choose which shop to use; PressWerk does not assign, steer, or force anyone to a specific partner. You may appear when your subscription is active, your profile is complete, and the job matches your equipment and radius. Instant quotes and most customer selections require a published rate card (three priced products minimum).

PLATFORM MARKETING: NO SPONSORSHIP

PressWerk markets PressWerk to consumers. that is how customers find the network. When they order, they choose which shop to use; PressWerk does not assign, steer, or prefer a partner because that shop paid for promotion. We do not sell sponsorship, paid placement, or preferential listing to any shop or third party. Every eligible shop competes on price, response time, and service. not on who paid for placement.

THE CUSTOMER IS YOURS

Once you accept a routed order, the customer relationship is yours. PressWerk forwards contact details, print specifications, and production files so you can invoice, produce, and support the job directly. PressWerk is not your CRM, MIS, or ERP. it is a complementary intake layer on top of the workflow you already run.

PressWerk is not trying to replace your MIS, CRM, or ERP. We handle the file audit, routing, and handoff, then you run production the way you already do.

WHY SHOPS JOIN

Independent shops join because PressWerk removes the work that eats the day before ink hits paper: chasing quotes, fixing customer files, and answering the same spec questions again. You stay on production. We handle intake.

01

Stop losing days to quote ping-pong

Customers configure the job and see your published price before you touch it. No more back-and-forth emails asking for specs, bleed, quantity, and stock just to answer "how much?"

02

Bad files fixed before they hit your RIP

Licensed Enfocus PitStop preflight runs on every routed file: bleed, colour, fonts, and resolution checked against the product. Production stays on schedule instead of sliding backward for file repair.

03

More time on press, less time on the phone

Specs, quantity, finishing, and contact details arrive with the job. You accept or decline from the terminal. Your floor keeps moving instead of stopping for intake calls.

04

Only jobs your equipment can run

You declare capabilities once. Work that needs a die-cut you do not do, or a width your roll cannot take, never clutters your queue.

05

Zero commission on print revenue

What you quote is what you keep. The customer pays PressWerk's routing fee separately at checkout. We never skim margin off your price.

06

Local customers, local pickup

Work inside your radius, collected at your counter or on your delivery route. No shipping race to the bottom with national giants.

HOW BEING A PARTNER WORKS

PressWerk is routing software, not shop management and not a marketing agency. You join the network, publish your rates, and accept jobs that match your equipment when customers find you through the platform.

01

Apply online

Full application: shop details, equipment, coverage, your prices (three products minimum), and plan. No payment card on this screen. Billing is after approval. You accept the Partner Network Agreement before we provision your terminal.

02

Onboard once

We import your rate card, walk through capabilities and finishing, set deposit rules, and issue a terminal PIN. One session, no sales calls.

03

Jobs route to you

When a customer in your radius configures a job, they pick a shop. PressWerk does not assign you. If they choose you, the job lands in your queue with a production-ready file. You only see work that matches your equipment.

04

Accept at your price

Your published rate card sets the quote. Accept or decline within the response window. PressWerk never takes a cut of print revenue.

05

Print and collect

Download press-ready artwork, run the job, and hand it off at your counter or on your delivery route. Customer pays you directly for the print.

WILL IT PAY FOR ITSELF?

$400

At $400 an order and 40% gross margin, 1.1 jobs a month covers the $179/month subscription.

We show you this before you apply rather than after. If the volume in your area is not there yet, we would rather say so than take a subscription you will cancel.

Onboarding covers rate-card import, capability setup, and setting up each individual preflight profile with you, including GWG, PDF/X-1a, X-4, X-6, and any action lists. The fee is waived for founding partners until December 31, 2026. After that it is $245 on Base and $245 on Connect.
