Drukatava is a Latvian digital printing company specializing in short-run book printing services. Founded in 2005 and based in Latvia, the company pioneered the concept of printing books in quantities as small as a single copy, using digital printing technology to make small print runs economically viable.
The company offers comprehensive book printing and binding services, including paperback books, hardcover books, and exclusive bound books. They provide various binding options and personalization features, allowing customers to add personal dedications or customize content within books. Their services extend beyond books to include business cards, catalogues, brochures, stickers, and other printed materials.
Drukatava serves multiple market segments including publishing houses (offering consistent pricing for orders of 300+ books), educational institutions (printing textbooks and scientific works), new authors (enabling single-copy printing for self-publishing), and e-commerce companies (providing print-on-demand and dropshipping services). The company handles the entire fulfillment process, including shipping directly to end recipients on behalf of their clients.
The company has built a strong reputation over nearly 20 years in business, with approximately 70% of their printed books being exported. Their client base includes major Latvian institutions such as Latvenergo, University of Latvia, Rīga Technical University, and Rīga Stradiņš University, as well as Scandinavian publishing houses. Drukatava positions itself as the only company in Latvia specializing in digital book printing, emphasizing advantages such as short execution deadlines, no minimum order quantities, high print quality, and the ability to produce sample books before larger print runs.
