Cloudprinter.com Terminates the "Distance Tax": Launching Proprietary Infrastructure for Global Print Commerce to Abolish Shipping Inefficiency

OOSTBURG, NETHERLANDS | JANUARY 20, 2026 Cloudprinter.com, the global infrastructure for print commerce, today announced the strategic launch of its own proprietary Print Fulfillment Centers across the United States and Europe. By establishing a dedicated physical infrastructure alongside its vast global network,Cloudprinter.com is transitioning to a high-velocity model engineered specifically for the extreme delivery demands of modern print commerce. This expansion is designed to achieve absolute Shipping Zone 1 Proximity, effectively abolishing the “Distance Tax” – the unnecessary shipping costs and transit delays that currently stifle the growth of everyone from independent creators to global brands.
 

Bringing Production to the Customer’s Street

The explosion of Social Commerce, led by platforms like TikTok Shop, and the forward-thinking delivery standards of giants like Amazon, have created a marketplace where speed is the only currency. For a local creator or an e-commerce entrepreneur, the ability to deliver as fast as a corporate giant is the ultimate competitive advantage.
"We are moving the factory to the customer's street," says Martijn Eier, CEO of Cloudprinter.com. "By launching our own specialized Print Fulfillment Centers, we are providing the physical infrastructure required to ensure our customers — whether they are individual creators or global enterprises — win on speed. The 'Now-economy' doesn't wait for a box to travel across the country. Whether it’s a viral TikTok trend or a high-velocity Amazon seller, the winner is determined by who is closest to the customer's front door."
 

The Infrastructure Roadmap: Achieving Shipping Zone 1 Proximity

To eliminate the friction of distance, Cloudprinter.com has launched a strategic expansion aimed at reaching Shipping Zone 1 Proximity for every American customer. This mission requires a physical proprietary presence in nearly every strategic U.S. state to ensure that shipping stays within the immediate local zone.
This accelerated rollout is already in full swing: the first wave of proprietary Print Fulfillment Centers goes live in Q2 2026. By mid-2027, Cloudprinter.com expects to have 18 of its own Print Fulfillment Centers operational across the country, creating a robust domestic backbone that renders expensive long-haul shipping obsolete for sellers of all sizes.
 

Solidifying the European Infrastructure Core

Simultaneously, Cloudprinter.com is boosting its European presence by embedding its own Print Fulfillment Centers into Europe’s largest and most high-volume e-commerce markets. Over the coming months, the company is deploying dedicated, self-owned hubs across the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Spain, and the Netherlands to secure absolute continental coverage. This ensures that creators and brands can bypass regional border friction and deliver to their customers with unprecedented speed through a unified transatlantic architecture.

 

The Architecture of Growth for Everyone

"We move data, not boxes," Eier concluded. "Our customers are no longer victims of inefficient shipping routes or the 'Distance Tax.' By launching our own infrastructure, we have built the engine that allows anyone to scale without limits. The era of paying for distance is over; we are tearing down the barriers of logistics to return those margins directly to our customers."
