Talk:Pixartprinting

COI edit request - proposed revised draft

Good morning,

I am connected to the subject of this article and am therefore requesting changes on the talk page rather than editing the article directly.

I would like to propose a revised draft of the article to improve neutrality, sourcing, and structure.

Reason for the request:

* the current version is incomplete, outdated and poorly sourced;

* the proposed version is based on independent reliable sources;

* promotional language has been removed.

I understand that any part of this proposal may be accepted, rejected, or further revised by independent editors.

Main changes proposed:

* removal or rewording of promotional language;

* clearer encyclopedic structure;

* reduction of marketing-style catalogue/service wording;

* clearer attribution of time-sensitive and source-sensitive claims;

* identification of references that may be primary or weaker sources.

Pixartprinting

Pixartprinting is an Italian online printing company headquartered in Quarto d’Altino, in the Metropolitan City of Venice. It is a subsidiary of Cimpress, a NASDAQ-listed company (ticker: CMPR). The company operates an e-commerce platform serving twelve European markets: Italy, France, Spain, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Portugal, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Sweden.[1]

In 2023, Pixartprinting reported revenues of €226 million, a 16% increase over the previous year.[2] In 2024, revenues rose to €232 million.[3]

The company employs approximately 1,200 people at its headquarters in Quarto d’Altino and a secondary production facility in Lavis (Trento), with a combined floor area of approximately 32,000 m². It also maintains operational facilities in France, Tunisia, and India, the latter focused on IT development.[3]

History

Pixartprinting was founded in 1994 by Matteo Rigamonti as a conventional printing business in Marghera (Venice).[4] In 2000, the company began offering its services online, transitioning to an e-commerce model.[4][5]

In 2011, Alcedo, an Italian growth capital fund, acquired a 75% stake in the company.[6]

In 2014, Alcedo sold 97% of Pixartprinting to Vistaprint (subsequently rebranded as Cimpress), which is listed on the NASDAQ exchange under the ticker CMPR.[7]

In July 2016, Paolo Roatta was appointed Chief Executive Officer of Pixartprinting.[8]

Production and Equipment

Production is primarily concentrated at the Quarto d’Altino headquarters. The company operates printing equipment from several manufacturers, including HP,[9] Komori,[10] Canon (including four ProStream presses),[11] Durst,[12] and Heidelberg machines at the Lavis facility.[13]

Products and Services

As of 2025, the company’s catalogue includes more than 400 products across several categories: labels and adhesive stickers, business cards, books, magazines, catalogues, packaging, and display materials. Substrates available include forex, aluminium, plexiglass, cardboard, and corrugated polypropylene.

Orders are placed exclusively through the company’s website. Customers can configure product specifications (material, quantity, finish, and delivery time), obtain an automated quote, and upload print-ready files.

In 2020, the company launched a graphic design service offering professional design work for a fixed fee.[14][15]

In early 2022, Pixartprinting introduced an online design tool (“Designer”) that allows customers to create print-ready files directly on the website using pre-designed templates.[16]

Customer support is available seven days a week from 08:00 to 22:00, provided by operators working in the language of each served market.[17]

Employee Relations and Welfare

Pixartprinting has been noted by Italian media for its employee welfare programmes.[18][19] These include a parental support initiative launched for pregnant employees (“Progetto Mamma”), a prayer room for the company’s workforce (which includes employees from 32 nationalities), productivity bonuses, tax assistance, and an on-site grocery delivery service.[18]

In 2022, the company introduced a hybrid remote working scheme for office-based employees.[19]

In October 2022, Pixartprinting signed a supplementary collective agreement with trade unions that extended parental leave provisions to fathers for the first time, in addition to introducing child sickness leave, paid hours for nursery school adaptation, and paid time off for children’s medical appointments.[20]

In 2023, the company delivered 13,000 hours of employee training and launched an executive master’s programme in partnership with CUOA Business School (Altavilla Vicentina). It also introduced a wellbeing platform offering free consultations with mental health professionals, nutritionists, and other specialists.[21]

In November 2024, Pixartprinting received Great Place to Work certification.[22]

Subsidiary: Gifta

In spring 2021, Pixartprinting launched Gifta, a business-to-consumer e-commerce platform specialising in personalised gifts, including canvas prints, photo books, calendars, and other customisable items.[23]

United States Operations

In September 2025, Pixartprinting announced the opening of a production facility in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, its third manufacturing site globally. The facility employed approximately 30 people at the time of announcement and involved an investment of over €20 million.[24]

DavideTurcato95, I have reverted your edits adding the text above to the article. Please be patient. While I understand that you waited two weeks before editing the article yourself, the COI review queue is backlogged at an all-time high of 514 requests, and many other editors have been waiting several months for a review. We appreciate your cooperation. Altamel (talk) 03:01, 30 April 2026 (UTC)
