The story

Printed.com is a UK-based digital and litho printing services company founded in 2011, operating under The Printed Group Limited. The company runs a custom-built backend ('Brain') for order management and has gradually layered light embedded-finance features — notably a trade credit account ('print now, pay later') — on top of its core printing e-commerce business. It remains primarily a vertical e-commerce / printing operator rather than a financial product company.
