… about prinux in general
What is prinux?
More than 1,400 companies, particularly in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, are already using a prinux portal to order their business cards and other printed materials. This allows them to save time and effort: no more tedious back and forth correspondence by e-mail or fax. Every step is immediately processed on the web: data entry, print proof, and approval.
What separates prinux from other (online) printers?
Which problem does prinux solve?
prinux makes getting business cards easier than ever. How it works: submit your templates once, have prinux set them up for free, and order whatever you need online, time after time.
You complete a one-time submission of your design template(s) to prinux. prinux sets up an online catalog of your corporate materials free of charge. After just a few days, your individual corporate business card can be ordered online.
You and your authorized employees then simply select the desired template using your web browser, enter the variable information (name, telephone number, etc.), and review the binding proof that appears immediately on the screen.
Who owns prinux?
prinux was founded in the year 2000 in Vienna by Kurt Egger and Klaus Lerch. The founders and owners continue to operate the company by themselves. Software development is performed primarily in-house, the same applies to part of the print production. Additionally, prinux works in cooperation with several carefully selected printers in order to guarantee ideal manufacturing processes and an optimal cost-benefit ratio for every product.
Where is prinux based?
The home office of prinux (prinux GmbH) and production facilities are located at Leopoldauer Strasse 179, 1210 Vienna, Austria, . The Swiss branch (prinux AG) is located at Starenstrasse 2, 4059 Basel. prinux products are manufactured at various locations and shipped worldwide.
How does prinux manage to combine high quality with low prices?
Small runs of printed materials by conventional offset printers are of good quality, but generally very expensive. On the other hand, copy stores offer low-cost alternatives, but they are usually not of high quality. prinux specializes in high-end corporate print products in small runs – and is particularly focused on business cards. Only the most modern, optimized, and automated processes are used to set up print templates, to do the actual print, and for finishing. This allows for a drastic reduction in manufacturing costs. Since you enter the text yourself using your web browser, typesetting costs are eliminated. Optimized logistics also ensure low prices and short delivery times, even for individual orders of only one box of 100 business cards.

… about shipping
How long does it take to have an order ready to ship?
How do I find out if my order has been shipped?
For shipments by mail (for example, to private individuals), you will not receive a shipping confirmation. If you have not received your order by 7 days following submission of your order, please contact us by e-mail at info@prinux.com or telephone at 0800-1002280 (toll free) to inquire about the status of your order.
What can I do if my order is extremely urgent?
For an additional cost, prinux can also deliver by courier service, so that urgently-needed business cards can arrive even faster.

Please contact us by telephone prior to submitting your order to coordinate a fixed delivery time. You can reach us toll free at 0800-100 2280 (from Germany, Austria and Switzerland), or at +43 1 3532280.
Why are products on the same order delivered separately?
Not all products are completed on the same day or at the same facility. To get your order to you as quickly as possible, products are always shipped directly from the facility the day they are completed. You therefore receive separate packages for your business cards, letterhead, and envelopes. These shipping costs are invoiced at our own cost, and often below that.
Why is there no invoice with the product from prinux?
Most prinux products are shipped directly from the facility with only a packaging slip. Invoices are sent separately by mail.
Can I pick up my products at prinux myself?
Generally not, because many prinux products are not manufactured at the prinux home location in Vienna. The prinux office in Vienna therefore does not receive deliveries any earlier than you do via package service.
However, self pick-up at the Vienna office is available for rush orders of business cards upon prior coordination by telephone (Leopoldauer Strasse 179, 1210 Vienna, Mondays through Thursdays 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.) Please contact us by telephone prior to submitting your order at 0800 100 2280.
Can I have prinux products shipped in unmarked packages?
No, prinux is clearly indicated as the sender on all packages and packaging slips. If you are a reseller and do not wish to disclose the supplier to your customers, please have the shipment sent to you in order to then forward it with your own packaging and packaging slips.
