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

Helloprint is an online print marketplace of Dutch origin, also present in France. The idea: you order in a few clicks from a very extensive catalogue, and your job is passed on to a network of partner printers. This self-service model appeals through its simplicity, competitive prices and the sheer breadth of its range, from flyers to large format and promotional items.

2M Numérique, by contrast, is an independent printer based in Manciet, in the Gers, which produces the bulk of its orders on site and supports you through a single point of contact. Neither is better or worse: it's simply a different positioning. This page compares the two honestly to help you choose based on your project.

Who Helloprint is a good fit for

Helloprint's model serves certain needs well, and that's worth acknowledging. If you're after a standard product in large volume (classic business cards, flyers, posters in common formats) at the best price, the pooled resources of a marketplace work in your favour. Likewise, if you're comfortable ordering on your own, 24/7, from files that are already print-ready, and you don't need in-depth advice, very specific finishes, or on-site installation, the online self-service journey is fast and convenient. The breadth of the catalogue also lets you cover varied, one-off needs in a single place, without having to approach several suppliers. For a business that knows exactly what it wants and works with files that already meet the required standards, it's an effective solution.

When to choose 2M Numérique instead

2M Numérique makes real sense as soon as your project needs hands-on support. In practice, that means when you want advice on paper, format or finish, when you're launching a short run or a bespoke piece, or when a proof checked by a human saves you a nasty surprise at print time. It's also the right move for premium finishes (soft-touch, foiling, spot varnish) and, above all, for large format with manufacturing and installation: signage, vehicle wraps or banners installed directly on site, which an online order simply doesn't cover. Add to that our roots in the Gers and Landes, the responsiveness of a local workshop, and a single point of contact from the first conversation through to delivery. This direct relationship makes it easier to handle last-minute adjustments, choose materials, and follow a project that steps outside standard formats. And because delivery is available across France and Europe, staying local doesn't limit your project's reach.

In short: there's a fit for every need

There's no wrong choice, only the right choice for you. For standard products in large volume, on a tight budget and handled independently, a platform like Helloprint is a coherent option. For advice, bespoke work, carefully crafted finishes, large format with installation, or simply a local printer who knows you, 2M Numérique is made for you.
