Printer Ofset Launches Export Operations — First 3 Countries

Printer Ofset launched its first international export operation in 2014. Regular shipments starting with Germany, Netherlands, and France formed the foundation of the export portfolio that has since expanded to 13 countries.

Strategic rationale for starting export:

• Market diversification: Building presence in markets beyond domestic demand
• Economies of scale: Full utilization of offset production machines
• Regulatory experience: Gaining production capability at EU + international standards
• Currency advantage: Cost in Turkish lira, sales in Euro/Dollar

Initial export product mix: cosmetics packaging for the EU market (1223/2009 compliant) + luxury kraft bags + corporate catalogs. The Aegean region's logistical advantage — proximity to İzmir Port and Adnan Menderes Airport — formed the operational backbone of this export operation.

Operations expanded to 13 countries over 12 years since 2014, making Printer Ofset one of the leading export-oriented print firms in the Aegean region. Export revenue today represents a significant line in total turnover.
