Print.com, the European print platform for creative professionals, today launches its own plugin in ChatGPT. This makes Print.com, by its own account, the first print platform where an AI assistant offers suggestions that are ready to order.
Ask a question like ‘these flyers need to be in Antwerp by Thursday, what will that cost?’ and the plugin immediately lays out the options: which paper types and production methods meet the deadline, what the rush surcharge is for each day delivery is moved forward, and which configuration gives the sharpest price. All based on the user’s own Print.com account, with their own prices and delivery times.
The plugin then provides a shareable link that lets users place their order directly in the Print.com web app.
That saves time in a market defined by tight deadlines and thin margins. Creative professionals rarely have just one project on their desk: they switch between clients, deadlines and specifications all day long. It’s precisely that kind of work that eats into the hours that should go to their clients.
With the ChatGPT plugin, Print.com customers can, in both the desktop and mobile app:
- browse and search the full Print.com catalogue;
- search by theme, such as weatherproof products for an outdoor festival or recycled materials for a sustainable event;
- calculate prices instantly;
- check delivery times and shipping options, and work backwards from a deadline;check the status of their current orders;
- put the connection to work in their own CRM or ERP.
"The strength of our platform is that there are practically endless configurations possible. That's immediately the challenge too: how do you land on exactly the right proposal for your customer? Over the past months, we've made billions of possible specifications readable for AI. And not just for ChatGPT, but as MCP: the open standard that lets any AI assistant connect to our platform. This plugin is only the beginning."
Daan de Jong, Lead AI at Print.com
A new phase of co-creation
Print.com was built in co-creation with customers: almost every feature on the platform grew out of a request from the people who use it every day. According to Print.com, AI is opening up exactly that kind of new phase. A comparable plugin for Claude is currently under review, and the first customers are already being involved in shaping what comes next.
"A growing share of all print questions will start with an AI assistant. We want that question to land on a real specification, not a guess. With our own production sites and more than 200 print partners, we know what can be produced where, tomorrow. Our customers now have access to that same knowledge, with nothing more than a simple prompt."
Lucas Baarspul, Chief Strategy and co-founder of print.com
The plugin is available free of charge to all Print.com customers from today, and works on both the free and paid versions of ChatGPT.
