Our Story
1992
Identic opens a digital print shop in Brussels. Copy shops are in full bloom. However, Identic’s main focus is not B2C consumers, but companies wishing to outsource their reprographic work.At that time, offset printing is still the norm in the world of printing. But digital flexibility is gradually changing the situation as it reduces delays and stocks. This is the advent of print- on-demand.
Identic’s business is steadily growing for a decade

Identic multiplies online services.This is the era of web-to-print platforms that automate orders, reduce costs and customers’ inventory and help them manage their printing processes more effectively.
For over 10 years, Identic has been responsible for the production and distribution of technical manuals of the construction machinery manufacturer Bobcat in Europe, Russia and the Middle East. This represents more than 20,000 documents per year.
Similarly, the pharmaceutical firm Astrazeneca managed to reduce its printing budget thanks to a centralized web-to-print platform, accessible to its various departments. Called print broking, this service uses a network of offset printing partners to complement the digital printing work done in-house.

The constant growth of the company leads to the search for new premises that are larger and easier to access.Identic moved to Zaventem in the industrial estate near Ikea.
2,000m² of modern offices and warehouses will now house the company’s 20 or so employees.

Identic responds to the enthusiasm for digitization and launches an innovative marketing portal enabling companies to effectively manage their crossmedia communication.
You no longer have to choose between print and digital, you should rather combine the two. Our portal manages graphic projects by adapting each campaign into various formats (HD, PDF, HTML, XML, GIF, TIFF) suitable to the different communication channels.
Thanks to this centralization tool, companies can easily create or update their marketing assets, in order to distribute them in a coherent way, regardless of the channel – be it web, social media, print or digital signage.
