VistaPrint Awarded New U.S. Patent

VistaPrint Limited today announced that the company has been awarded its thirteenth U.S. patent. The company also holds patents in other countries and has more than 40 pending patent applications world-wide.

Hamilton, Bermuda (PRWEB) March 14, 2007 -- VistaPrint Limited (Nasdaq:VPRT), the leading online supplier of high-quality graphic design services and customized printed products to small businesses and consumers, today announced that the company has been awarded its thirteenth U.S. patent. The company also holds patents in other countries and has more than 40 pending patent applications world-wide.

Patent number 7,187,465 relates to techniques for factoring order quantity into the automated printing process which happens at VistaPrint's two state-of-the-art printing plants totaling over 200,000 square feet of production space. This proprietary technology enables orders to be automatically grouped and printed together depending on print and order quantity, enabling VistaPrint to receive and effectively process and average of over 18,000 orders per day.

"The Internet created a foundation for VistaPrint to deliver large volumes of high-quality, low-cost printed products to customers in more than 120 countries around the world," said Robert Keane, president and CEO of VistaPrint. "However, our business model requires an ability to invest significant amounts of money on proprietary technologies. Our expanding patent portfolio is a result of the technological advancements and investments we have made to become the leaders in this market."

Unlike costly traditional graphic arts and printing techniques that produce custom printed orders one at a time, VistaPrint employs patented and proprietary technologies to aggregate custom orders from around the globe and to print them in groups at highly automated production facilities. VistaPrint produces large volumes of high-quality, customized orders simultaneously and for a fraction of the cost of graphic designers and traditional printers.
