How printing.co.za works

One platform connecting South African print buyers, suppliers, and designers — with escrow, reviews, and inspected quality.

For customers

From brief to delivery in 8 steps.

Step 1

Post an RFQ

Describe the print job — product, specs, quantity, deadline, delivery.

Step 2

Broadcast to matching suppliers

We send it to verified SA printers that match your product and region.

Step 3

Quotes within 15 minutes

Suppliers are required to quote within 15 minutes, or the RFQ lapses.

Step 4

Compare & accept

Compare price, turnaround, ratings and portfolio side-by-side.

Step 5

Pay into escrow

Secure payment held by printing.co.za — never paid directly to supplier.

Step 6

Production & delivery

Supplier produces and ships. Chat and share files in-app.

Step 7

Approve & release

Approve delivery — escrow releases funds to the supplier wallet.

Step 8

Rate & keep records

Leave a review. Invoices stored by the platform for easy reordering.

For suppliers

Become a verified supplier and win jobs.

Register & KYC

Upload company docs: CIPC, ID, proof of address, tax clearance.

Book an inspector

A printing.co.za inspector audits your premises to finalise onboarding.
