The Printeers timeline
We’ve been around for over 15 years now! We started out as Invition in Schagen, the Netherlands, and worked hard to become the leading print-on-demand company we are today.

2009
First steps with Invition
Our company was founded! We opened our office in Schagen.
We founded the company under the name Invition at the age of only nineteen, when we decided to start importing products to sell in Europe as a wholesaler. We distributed several high quality screen protectors from renowned brands and sold to all big retailers and online stores in the Netherlands and other countries in Western Europe.
Our specialty was to supply only the best screen protection for a wide range of smartphone models and we managed to become one of the market leaders in the Netherlands.
2013
First printed phone case
We installed our first printers and launched EgoSketch. Also, we moved the company to Dirkshorn.
In 2013 we realized that the mobile phone market needed a boost. There are thousands of shops and wholesalers selling the same type of products. A leather wallet, a black or a white back case, but nothing really special. We wanted to offer something different.
We developed our own printable products, purchased printers, sewing machines, we developed our own web-to-print software and launched EGOsketch.com. We built this website as a showcase, but also to learn as much as possible about printing. In a couple years we grew our range from nothing to over 300 products, sold hundreds of thousands of phone cases and became specialist in the world of print.
2016
Time to scale up
New Roland LEF UV printers were added to the family. We moved the company again, to Alkmaar this time, and we launched our Printeers platform and order API.
After 3 years of preparation and perfecting our products and systems, we were ready for the next step in the plan. We have learned a lot with our webshop and we are confident enough to offer our services to other businesses. We started developing the Printeers Platform. This platform is capable of processing the orders of all our customers and can be connected through APIs to customers, suppliers and other partners.
2020
More upscaling and meeting demands
We launched our partner dashboard and improved our production facility. Multiple new printers were installed.
In 2020 we really started scaling the business. We moved to a new and larger location in Alkmaar to improve our production facility. Our daily output capacity doubled. We started a partnership with Deutsche Post improving our shipping rates and lead times to Germany. The range of products expanded with new and improved Tough cases, Special cases and Crossbody cases. New products are also designed and added to the platform faster making sure most of the cases are available before launch of the smartphone.
2022
Say hi to Printeers!
We rebranded ourselves to Printeers! We also rebuilt our entire production facility and installed even more printers.
In 2022 we decided to leave the name Invition behind. As the company has grown and evolved over the years, this new name better matches our vision and the services we offer. Printeers is a compound of printing and pioneers, which are both fitting for our company. We are pioneers in the personalisation industry and push the boundaries of mass personalisation with smart technologies and automation. Discovering new grounds and inventing new technologies is our passion!
