Printing (Sweden)

Template for Swedish 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 template for Swedish prints.

See the PDF layout rules for Sweden 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

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 Finland 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.

To enable color printing for all invoices from a company account, use the PATCH /v1/company/setting. In the send_invoice_print block, set the parameter color_scheme to COLORED. To revert to black & white, set color_scheme to BLACK_AND_WHITE.

Attachments

Printing of attachments is enabled by default with following rules:

Up to 3 separate attachments are allowed (maximum of 4 files including the invoice image).
Only PDF format is allowed.
Maximum size per attachment: 50 MB.
Total maximum number of pages: 110.

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 size

The Swedish printing service uses two envelope sizes:

For invoices of up to 6 sheets, a smaller C5 envelope is used.
For invoices exceeding 6 sheets, a larger and more expensive C4 envelope is used.

Since all invoices are printed double-sided, an invoice must have more than 12 pages before it exceeds 6 sheets and requires the C4 envelope.

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.

Delivery depends on the selected letter class. For Swedish companies there are two options: economy (B-post) and priority (A-post). See the Swedish post delivery schedule The letter class can be adjusted either via API or UI.

To change the letter class use PATCH /v1/company/setting method and set send_invoice_print[letter_class] to PRIORITY (A-post) or ECONOMY (B-post).
To define the letter class for a specific invoice use POST /v1/invoices method and set print_settings[letter_class] to economy (B-post) or priority (A-post).
