Overview

Volker Hinzke GmbH — trading as HINZKE — is a family-run printing company and media service provider based in Lübeck, Germany. According to its own website, the business has been printing, lettering and finishing in Lübeck since the 1980s, and the company states it has been based in the city since 1981. What began as a small print shop has grown into a team of printers, media designers and signage technicians, and the company describes itself as owner-managed, down-to-earth and passionate about print. The company positions itself as a one-stop provider: instead of customers coordinating five different suppliers, Hinzke handles the entire process from a single point of contact. Its service range covers classic commercial printing (business cards, letterheads, posters, brochures and bindings), large-format printing (posters, banners and signage using inkjet, latex and UV printing), UV direct printing onto objects such as tools, drinking bottles, light switches, wood, glass and metal, signage and advertising technology (vehicle lettering, company signs, shop-window films), textile printing (T-shirts, hoodies and workwear using the DTF process), technical plan printing and plotting (CAD plots and construction drawings up to 914 mm wide, folded to DIN 824), 3D printing of components, prototypes and spare parts from eleven materials, and finishing services such as sleeking and spot-varnish effects. A media production team also offers design and layout services, from flyer layouts to complete corporate identities. Hinzke emphasises personal advice and direct contact with the people who carry out the work, explicitly contrasting itself with call centres and ticket systems. At the same time, the company uses digital tools, including an AI chat for initial questions outside opening hours and an online shop where customers can configure and order products directly. The company states that it has more than 40 years of experience, over 5,000 satisfied customers and 100% in-house production, and it holds a Google rating of 4.6 out of 5 from 171 reviews. Its production site is on Kanalstraße in Lübeck. As a private, owner-managed family business, Volker Hinzke GmbH is not listed on a stock exchange. Its customer base is primarily regional businesses and organisations in and around Lübeck that need printed, lettered or finished products, although its online shop and 3D printing service allow orders beyond the immediate region. The company combines traditional craft printing with modern digital production methods, positioning itself as a full-service partner for corporate visibility — from the business card to the printed T-shirt.
