Not only providing a platform for selling digital products, Tokopedia also supports partners by distributing promotional materials as a means of branding to increase customer trust.

Starting from editing the design, looking for print vendors in various cities, distributing to each store and ensuring that promotional materials have been installed properly.

One of GVV Graduate Startups 2020

Printerous, who graduated from the 3rd batch of GVV in 2020, was able to develop his business and contribute to encouraging the recovery of the national economy through his support for MSMEs.  Printerous has also collaborated with many MSMEs in the last 12 months.

“We are a platform that connects packaging printing service providers to MSMEs. Over the past 12 months, we have collaborated a lot with tailor MSMEs, especially to produce masks,” he said.

Kevin saw, during the pandemic, there were many new MSMEs in Indonesia. Especially micro-enterprises or small home-based businesses.

Many small home-based businesses are engaged in the food and beverage sector.  There Printerous works to assist them in printing micro business product packaging.

“They need packaging. Finally, we brought up a product line up without a minimum order quantity. So without an order quantity, they can order packaging with branding from the MSMEs,” he said.

Currently, Printerous services are focused on meeting the printing and packaging needs of MSMEs.

The need for branding, promotional materials, and packaging is also an important part for MSMEs at this time to be able to continue to grow, especially MSMEs in the culinary field.
