Closed shop example
Built for the print company

This empowers your print company — it's not a foreign-curated brand network.

You stay the producer and the platform owner. Your customers — brands, chains, agencies, franchises — run their own closed portals on top of your production, exactly to their CI.

01
CI compliance & brand control

Locked templates, approved assets, fixed colours and fonts. Every order leaves the portal on-brand — no rogue business cards.

02
Approval & governance

Roles, budgets and cost centres. Orders route to approvers; spend stays within limits set per location or team.

03
Simplicity for the orderer

The person at the branch picks a template, fills in details, orders. No print knowledge required — that's where adoption comes from.

Use cases

Where closed shops earn their keep.

Corporate stationery, always on-brand

Letterheads, envelopes, compliment slips and folders in locked CI templates. Departments order what they need; the brand stays consistent across every site.

Self-service business-card portals

New hires fill in their details in a locked template and order — no design loop, no off-brand cards. The classic high-volume closed-shop use case.

Catalogues & recurring print

Seasonal catalogues, price lists and recurring collateral — reordered from approved layouts with current data, on schedule.

Multi-location rollouts

Chains and franchises order localised signage and POS per branch, within central budgets and approval rules — local detail, central control.

Letter & dialogue mailings

Personalised mailings driven by data feeds — templated, approved and produced with variable data, straight into the automation layer.

FAQ

Questions about Closed Shops

Who runs the closed shop — me or my customer?+

You provide and own the platform; your customer runs their branded portal on top of it. They manage their users and assortment, you keep the production and the relationship.

How is brand consistency guaranteed?+

Through locked templates, fixed assets, colours and fonts, plus approval steps. Orderers fill defined fields only — they can't break the CI even if they try.

Can we control budgets and approvals?+

Yes. Roles, budgets and cost centres are built in. Orders can require approval and spend can be capped per location, team or period.

How does this grow my volume?+

Each closed shop extends your value chain: your customer sells to their customers, and the resulting production flows back to you. A new portal can take its first orders within 24 h — more portals, more recurring volume on your presses.
