Printing (Germany)

Germany

NEW LOCAL PRINT COUNTRY COMING END OF 2025

Template for Norwegian print service

By default, invoices sent through the print service use a Maventa-generated invoice template. This template is optimized for efficient processing, complies with all technical requirements, and is designed to fit the envelopes used by the printing service provider in each country. Customers can personalize this template by adding their company logo.

Example of Maventa templates for German companies.

See the PDF layout rules for Germany provided by the printing service provider. While following these layout rules can be useful, it is not strictly necessary if you are using your own invoice image, since Maventa will automatically add a cover sheet with the recipient’s address details. This cover sheet ensures correct placement in the envelope window, is counted as an extra page, and is billed accordingly.

Color printing option

Customers can choose whether all invoice images should be printed in color or in black & white (via API or UI). By default, invoices are printed in Germany with black & white. If color printing is enabled, it will be billed based on the total number of pages in the invoice, regardless of how many pages actually contain color.

In addition to the company-level setting, it is also possible to define the color option for individual invoices when sending via the API.

Attachments

Printing of attachments is enabled by default with following rules:

If these limits are exceeded, all attachments will be discarded. The sender will be notified by email, but the invoice image itself will still be printed.

Note! There is an extra charge per page printed.

Envelope sizes

The German printing service uses three envelope sizes:

Since all invoices are printed double-sided, an invoice must have more than 6 pages to reach 4 sheets (C5) and more than 18 pages to reach 10 sheets (C4).

Note: If the sender’s own invoice image is used, the cover sheet added by Maventa is counted as one page.

Delivery schedules

Invoices that are sent to Maventa before 24:00 will get printed, processed and enveloped overnight and handed over to the mail distributor the following morning. Production does not take place during the weekends and holidays. Mail distributors will deliver invoices to the receivers using Economy letter class. Estimated delivery is in 2-3 business days.
