For print shops
Customers send files. Drapress takes care of everything until the press.
File upload, checks, proof and approval, versions and a job ticket — instead of WhatsApp, e-mails and messy files.

Sound familiar?
- A file came by e-mail.
- A correction came on WhatsApp.
- The customer isn't sure which version was approved.
In Drapress the file, the correction and the approval are in one place — and everyone sees which version was approved.
From the customer's file to the press, in four steps
The customer uploads a file
In your print shop's own portal — no e-mail, no WhatsApp, no hunting for files.
Drapress checks it
An automatic check of the page size, bleed, font embedding and resolution, with the findings marked on the page itself. The check reports and does not fix.
The customer approves
The customer leafs through the proof and approves it. A page changed after the approval cancels the approval, so no approval is left on an old version.
The press gets an approved file
The approved version and the job ticket wait for the team, and the original file is always kept.
What already works today
Everything on this list is live in the system right now.
Upload and a proof for the product
The customer uploads and leafs through the proof that fits the product: a booklet, front and back, a single sheet or a fold.
File checks
Page size, bleed, font embedding, resolution, spot colors and color space (RGB). The check reports and does not fix.
Page board
Every page of the issue in spreads: replace, reorder and rotate a page without asking for a whole new file, plus automatic fixes for bleed, page size and orientation — after you confirm.
Versions and a locked approval
The original is always kept, and the approval is locked to the exact version that was approved.
Job ticket
Steps, machines and sign-offs for every job — on one A4 sheet for the team.
Customer portal
Your customers order, follow up and find their designs in one place.
Built from daily work in the print world

Questions before you start
Does Drapress process payments for printed products?
No. Drapress charges a subscription for using the system. The customer pays for the printed product directly to the supplier they chose.
Do I have to start with the whole customer library?
You can start with one product and one customer, test the process and then expand. The folder import option helps move an existing library over in an organized way.
Is the most recently uploaded version always the one selected?
The version used for orders is the version selected for that purpose. Uploading a new version is no reason to assume it has already been selected; check the selection before ordering.
Where can I see prices and quotas?
On the plans and pricing page of the site. It is the up-to-date source for subscription terms and quotas.
