In a strategic move to bolster their collaboration, Scodix has announced an expansion of its partnership with Shutterfly, a leading name in the web-to-print sector. The deal includes the acquisition of four cutting-edge Scodix Ultra 2500 SHD presses, along with a five-year consumables and service agreement. This development underscores Shutterfly's commitment to digital embellishment, which has become a crucial element in its growth strategy.
Established in 2018, the partnership between Scodix and Shutterfly has significantly evolved over the years. Shutterfly initially embraced Scodix technology to enhance its personalized product offerings. What started as a trial has now grown into an integral part of Shutterfly's business model, allowing it to deliver premium products rapidly and in large volumes, essential for one of the largest web-to-print operations globally.
The Scodix Ultra 2500 SHD press is particularly notable for its advanced Smart High Definition (SHD) technology. This innovation not only delivers finer details and sharper edges but also produces smoother gradients and superior image quality. Additionally, it features Scodix’s Multi-Layer Embellishment (MLE) technology, a unique capability that allows the application of premium digital embellishments directly onto uncoated paper, enhancing creative possibilities across Shutterfly’s personalized product range.
Speaking on the partnership, Dave Bull, Shutterfly's Vice President of Manufacturing Operations, remarked, "Scodix technology has been pivotal in enabling our premium embellishment offerings, allowing us to deliver unique products that fulfill customer expectations in terms of speed and quality. The latest generation of Scodix presses ensures we continue to build on that success for years to come."
Eli Grinberg, CEO and Co-Founder of Scodix, expressed pride in the ongoing partnership, stating, "When an industry leader like Shutterfly chooses to invest again in Scodix technology, it highlights the long-term value our digital embellishment solutions provide. Shutterfly's continued investments reflect the efficacy of a strategy centered on premium, tactile print, and we are proud to continue supporting that growth with our pioneering technology."
This investment not only enhances Shutterfly's production capability but also solidifies its positioning as a frontrunner in the digital printing landscape. With the upcoming installation of the new presses, Shutterfly is set to meet the demands of its peak production season in 2026.
