The Brick Factory: A Print on Demand Operator's Best Decision

The Brick Factory, our unique and ultra-powerful platform for those working in the custom merchandise sector, continues to grow in importance as the market changes, evolves and becomes ever-more competitive. Printoteca, a print on demand (PoD) company based in Romania, is about to celebrate its first birthday as a Brick Factory client.

Starting with the strong idea that 'a good design deserves a good print', husband-and-wife team Răzvan and Sabina founded Printoteca back in 2015. Their dedication and hard work immediately paid off and Printoteca began building an extremely impressive reputation for providing custom-decorated garments of superlative quality. The company soon began expanding, creating in the process a number of successful brands such as Sticker Republic and T-Shirt Van, the first mobile t-shirt printing house in Romania.

Printoteca is self-described as a 'creative project where design comes to life' and today supplies a wide and diverse range of clients with an equally wide and diverse array of custom merchandise from clothing to homeware. 

One of the key aspects that has made Printoteca such a success is its dedication to environmental responsibility. The brand only uses responsibly-sourced cardboard packaging, all of which is certified by the FSC (Forest Stewardship Council). Printoteca's extensive range of clothing is crafted using sustainable materials like organic cotton and recycled polyester.

Last year, Printoteca became Bucharest's first company to be officially certified by GOTS (the Global Organic Textile Standard). Printoteca is also an official dealer of Stanley/Stella clothing; as noted in a recent edition of the Brickweb blog, gaining this status involves adhering to a strict set of rules that ensure minimal environmental impact.

Last year, Printoteca became part of the Brick Factory family, introducing dropshipping to its suite of services for PoD customers. The Brick Factory has revolutionised the way that the company works, improving its level of service and helping it to grow in this demanding, challenging and complex sector.

Răzvan recently got in touch with our team to share his experience. He said:
"A year ago, around this time, we decided to include Brickweb in the Printoteca story. It was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made (besides marrying Sabina!) and I want to thank you for the collaboration. This collaboration has put Printoteca on the PoD market and strengthened our local position. Thanks again and I’m looking forward to doing interesting things in the future!"
