The online print shop SAXOPRINT based in Dresden has recorded double-digit sales growth in recent years, and last year generated sales of more than €100 million in the area of commercial online printing as part of the CEWE Group.
Its product range has undergone a significant change at this time. Standard commercial printed matter such as flyers, posters, catalogs, and brochures are still the main focus and account for 80% of its business; however, packaging and finishing represent a large growth market.
“Our business model is based on cost leadership,” said managing director Klaus Sauer. “We use special algorithms to bundle the orders received via the webshop into gang runs and distribute them to the respective machines.
High efficiency and speed are important. Up to 5,000 orders are produced daily in three shifts. This is only possible using industrialized processes and the most modern equipment. With this in mind, the company has invested more than €70 million in new solutions in the past seven years.
The latest installation in the press room is a Speedmaster XL 162 eight-color perfecting press with the world’s first CutStar roll sheeter in this format on a machine of Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG. CutStar in other formats, such as 50 x 70 or 70 x 100, has been available from Heidelberg for many years. This means that the full flexibility to use sheets or roll-fed stock is now available in 7B format.
