Imagine: orders come in, and you calculated none of them.
The whole path, from your customer’s first click to your press, without a quote, an e-mail or a calculation on your end.
-
01
Your customer visits your shop
On your own domain, with or without an approved account, you decide who may order on invoice and who pays up front.
-
02
They calculate on your calculators
Built from your presses, papers, finishing and margins, the way your shop already works. The price appears while they click.
-
03
No quote, no waiting
Nothing goes through a mailbox. And they discover products they never knew you offered, and order those too.
-
04
They order when they are ready
Files uploaded, price accepted, paid or on your terms. At two in the afternoon or two at night.
-
05
You print. That is all.
The order lands on your board, calculated, with the sheet and the ticket for your press. Not a minute of calculating on your end.
Every order from your BuildYourPrint shop is one you never had to calculate. Build your print, offer what your clients need, the way you finally deserve it.
Your own print webshop, set up with you.
What BuildYourPrint is, without the jargon.
We set it up together
Your products, papers, presses, finishing and prices go in, with a person from us at your side until the shop is live. You bring the domain name and a web host; we publish the shop on it. Days, not months.
Your customers order online
The same flyers, brochures and books they used to ask for by e-mail, now configured by themselves on your website, with the price on screen. Day and night, and new customers find you the same way.
Orders arrive finished
Paid, with the files, at a price calculated from your own costs and your own margin. Your rules block what you do not want to sell. The order lands on your order board; the job ticket goes to your presses.
No wrong prices, no waiting. Every price is calculated from your costs, your margin and your rules, nothing sells under the price you set, and nobody has to quote by e-mail any more.
Everything you print today, as a calculator.
Each product becomes its own calculator with the choices you want to offer. Your customers configure, see the price and order, the same products they used to request by e-mail, plus the ones they never knew you had.
- Flyers
- Business cards
- Postcards & invitations
- Posters & plano
- Placemats
- Letterheads
- Folders & leaflets (half, tri-fold, zigzag, gate)

- Stickers & labels
This list is only the start. Anything you can print, you can sell: a new product is a new calculator, built in an afternoon. The only limit is your imagination.
Finishing machines you can price
Every finishing step is a machine in your admin with its own set-up time, speed and cost, so it is priced per job, never as a flat surcharge.
- Guillotine cutting
- Folding
- Saddle stitching
- PUR & hotmelt binding
- Thread sewing
- Wire-O
- Laminating (matt, gloss, soft-touch)
- UV & spot varnish
- Creasing & perforating
- Die-cutting
- Drilling
- Numbering
- Collating & banding
- Shrink-wrapping & boxing
Your own list. Anything missing is added during the set-up.
Three things no one else does.
Not a brochure with a cart. A calculation engine with a shop in front of it, and three reasons print shops switch.
A real price in 0.1 sec
Calculated from your own presses, papers and finishing, never a table. Every press and paper variation you allow is costed, and the cheapest correct one wins. Automatically.
Versions, rules, imposition: automatic
Your customers add the versions they need; each gets its place on the sheet. Your rules make the exceptions no other system can. The imposition behind every price is real.
More orders, no extra estimator
Customers configure, see the price and order, no e-mail, nobody in between. Your design, your domain, your pages. Live in hours, with a person at your side.
What was promised, and what went wrong.
Web-to-print was sold to every print shop as “orders while you sleep”. What arrived were price tables typed by hand, portals nobody updated and quotes that still went through a mailbox. Snake oil, built by people who never priced a sheet.
The price table
Hundreds of cells per product, wrong the day a paper price moved, useless between two quantity steps. Every current solution still runs on one.
The mailbox
Anything the table could not answer went to a salesperson. Fifteen minutes to two days later, the customer had bought elsewhere.
The implementation
Months with an agency, a template and a cart. A portal nobody updated, prices nobody trusted, and still the quote by e-mail.
What your customers see. What you see.
Every screenshot below is a real screenshot of the product. No mock-ups. Click any screen to see it full size.
Your press takes the order with love.
One JDF file. You drag it to your press and the rest is already inside: imposition, page numbers, fold scheme, versions, finishing, and the print-ready PDF to download. Possible because we write the current JDF 1.6, which most systems do not. Enterprise tier.
The order arrives as an e-mail or a PDF and someone retypes it into prepress. Every retype is a chance for a wrong paper, a wrong quantity, a wrong fold.
A version from 2008. It loads, but it predates what current front ends expect, so the gaps are filled by hand, sheet, versions, finishing, device.
Imposition, page numbers, fold scheme, versions, finishing steps, the device identity of your own presses and the print-ready PDF. One file, one drag, and the press starts, not a minute of calculating or retyping on your end.
What we offer, in five pages.
