Combining Speed with Style
In 2024, Printhouse invested in three Scodix digital embellishment presses to expand its production capabilities. This investment enables them to deliver luxurious embellishment, including a game-changing ability to embellish on uncoated substrates.
As CEO, Sven Thiessen explains:
“Scodix has truly been a great partner…We regularly get visits from Scodix; they check in to see how things are going.”
Selecting Scodix allowed Printhouse to combine high-end print aesthetics with the speed and flexibility required to meet growing demand.
The Solution
With the newest generation of Scodix presses, Printhouse no longer needs to rely on primed paper, which has previously limited their choice of media.
Now, using prime-free (or “primeless”) paper, Printhouse is able to accommodate nearly 80% of the paper range available on the market. This expanded flexibility enables a much wider variety of products and significantly reduces material and production costs.
Streamlining Production Through Scodix Solutions
For Printhouse, Scodix is not just a vendor; it’s a collaborative partner in growth, reinforcing their position as a European leader in high-quality print enhancements powered by Scodix’s innovation. By integrating the new presses, Printhouse can deliver premium embellishments at scale, enabling faster turnaround, consistent quality, and greater range of finishing options than traditional analog methods.
The Result: Delivering Premium Prints at Unmatched Speed
As Thiessen summarises, “We can offer more varieties to our customers and really reduce our costs to a great level, and we can, at the same time keep the quality level.”
