Every order arrives print-ready. Your production takes it from there.
Printbox renders each paid project into print-ready files and delivers them, with the order details, to your own production line or a print partner. No manual file prep on any order.
Files your print room can trust, from the first order to the thousandth.
Everything between checkout and your production server, handled.
No manual file prep
Once an order is paid, Printbox renders it automatically and sends it on.
The format your workflow expects
Single or multi-page PDF, JPG, PNG (also with transparency) or TIFF, set per product. A photo book cover and its pages always arrive as separate files.
Print-grade defaults
300 DPI rendering, an embedded RGB color profile and optional PDF/X-4 output.
Delivery your way
Get individual files or one archive per order, whichever your production system reads best.
Complete order data
Every project comes with a JSON file describing it: product, size, page count, theme and more. Use it to drive your own production software.
Production barcodes
Configurable barcodes, built from order number, quantity and other order fields, make it easy to match covers with blocks and pick orders for packing.
Bleed, trim and crop marks built in
Trim box, bleed, safe area and crop marks are set once per product and written into every print file. Your prepress gets the exact geometry it expects.
Reprints without a new order
Damaged in production? For most integrations, you can resend an order to printing from the admin panel. No new checkout, no new charge for the customer.
How orders reach production
A clear handoff. Printbox prepares the files, your production makes the product.
Order is paid
The customer finishes the project in the editor and checks out in your store.
Print-ready files are rendered
Printbox renders the project in the format set for each product part. Want a manual check first? Products can be set to hold the render until someone on your team releases it.
Files and data are delivered
Printbox sends file links and the project JSON to your production system or print partner. With Getbox, your computer downloads them to a local folder instead.
You print, finish and ship
Your production prints, finishes and ships the order, using its own tools and workflow.

Clear split. Software here, production there.
Printbox is software. We don't print, cut or ship. That stays with you or your print partner, and your print room keeps its own tools.

Connect your production the way it works today
One-time setup, then every order flows automatically.
Webhook to your system
The simplest route. Printbox posts file links and the project JSON to any HTTPS endpoint: your MIS, your own software or your press workflow.
Ready-made print partner integrations
No production of your own? Orders go straight to established print partners such as Prodigi and Siteflow-based producers, through connectors already built into Printbox.
Local download with Getbox
For print rooms that prefer files in a local folder: a small app on your computer downloads each job once and marks it as downloaded, so you always know what's already printed.
Every rendered project comes with a structured description: product, size, theme, number of pages, quantity and order reference.
Your production software reads it to set up the job, with no retyping from an order screen.
