2M Numérique or Exaprint: Which Printer Is Right for Your Project?

Exaprint and 2M Numérique are both French printers, but with very different business models. Exaprint, based in Sète and backed by the Cimpress group, is an online platform designed for print professionals: agencies, graphic designers and resellers who manage their own files, order online and look for volume discounts. 2M Numérique, an independent printer based in Manciet, in the Gers, since 2016, caters instead to small businesses, shops, tradespeople and local authorities who want a single point of contact, personal advice and end-to-end support.

Neither is better in absolute terms: it all depends on your needs, how comfortable you are handling your own files, and how much you value working with someone local. Here's a factual comparison to help you choose with full information.

Who Exaprint is a good fit for

Exaprint is a solid player, particularly well suited to independent print professionals. If you're a graphic designer, agency or reseller who manages your own files and prepress, and you're looking to order online at any hour, the model has real strengths:

• a very extensive professional catalogue, self-service;
• attractive tiered pricing on large standard volumes;
• a white-label offering, handy for reselling under your own name;
• a French base and large-scale production for sizeable quantities.

For anyone who is comfortable managing their own artwork chain and prioritises volume and independence, it's a coherent, competitive choice.

When to choose 2M Numérique instead

2M Numérique targets a slightly different audience: small businesses, shops, tradespeople, restaurants, associations and local authorities across the Gers and Landes who don't necessarily have an in-house design department and want to be supported. Our added value is proximity and advice: a single point of contact from brief to delivery, human file checks, and genuine bespoke work down to short runs from a single unit. We produce the bulk of our orders on site in Manciet (94%, 2024-2025), 100% in France, under the Made in Occitania label, which allows for short local turnaround times. For large format and signage, we handle manufacturing and on-site installation, and we take great care with premium finishes (soft-touch, foiling, spot varnish). To see this in practice, take a look at our commercial print services.

In short: there's a fit for every need

The choice isn't between a good printer and a bad one, but between two different logics. Exaprint excels at volume, self-service and independent professionals; 2M Numérique brings local advice, hands-on support, bespoke work, closely followed short runs and installation. If your project calls for proximity, a human touch and end-to-end follow-up, request your free quote: we reply within 72 hours, anywhere in France and Europe.
