About OFFSET COMPANY
OFFSET COMPANY Print + Display GmbH is a long-established printing company in Wuppertal-Barmen that has been in existence since 1923. Its portfolio covers offset printing, digital printing as well as screen and textile printing for catalogues, brochures, flyers, labels, packaging and promotional materials. Printing is complemented by post-press processing such as laminating paper and board onto solid board and corrugated board, die-cutting, embossing, celloglazing, hot foil stamping and laser work. A second pillar since 2012 is display construction: sales displays, POS concepts, prototype and series production for retailers and DIY stores, including assembly and fulfillment. Production has been progressively converted to sustainability criteria since 2008, among other things using recycled paper and the Blue Angel eco-label; part of production is carried out with fixed partner companies.
