About Fulas Printing & Packaging

A print and packaging house built for brands that mean business.

Fulas is a full-fledged offset printing and packaging company in Addis Ababa. We run offset presses from single-unit to four-unit alongside our own die-cutting and finishing — so books, magazines, commercial print and printed die-cut duplex packaging are all produced without leaving the plant.

Why work with us

What sets Fulas apart.

The practical advantages of producing every job in-house — the reasons brands and publishers across Addis Ababa keep coming back.

Everything in-house

Offset printing, die-cutting and finishing — all under one roof. No outsourcing, no surprises.

We hit the date we quote

When we say your job is ready Thursday, it is. If we can’t hit it, we tell you before you sign off.

A sample before the run

For packaging, a physical sample and an approved proof before we run. What you approve is what we press.

Consistent across the run

Colour and register hold from the first sheet to the last — because packaging is judged a thousand times over.

Two locations, one team

A customer-facing office for consultation and pickup; a production plant for printing, die-cutting and finishing.

From artwork to delivery

We prepress, print, die-cut, finish and deliver — one point of contact the whole way through.

We’ll make it print-ready

No dieline or print-ready artwork? Send us what you have — our team will prepress or design what you need.

Rush turnaround available

On a tight launch? Tell us your deadline and we’ll tell you honestly whether we can hit it.

Our story

Started with a promise: everything in-house.

Fulas was founded on a simple observation: brands and publishers in Addis Ababa were being sold print and packaging by middlemen who sub-contracted the work — losing control of colour, timeline and quality along the way.

We took the opposite bet. Every stage of a job, we own the machine for. Offset printing from single-unit to four-unit, die-cutting and finishing — all under one roof. That's how we shorten timelines, hold colour consistent across a run, and give clients a single person to call if something needs to change.

Today we print books, magazines, posters and commercial work, and produce printed, die-cut duplex packaging for pharmaceutical, beverage, cosmetics and consumer brands across Ethiopia — from a first job to repeat production runs.

Mission

To be the print and packaging partner Ethiopian brands and publishers can rely on — for craft, for speed, for every run.

Vision

A one-roof print and packaging house where every job — no matter how small or complex — is printed, die-cut and finished properly.

Core values

Four ideas that shape every job we take.

01

Craft

We treat every job — from a single medicine box to a full production run of textbooks — as a chance to prove our craft.

02

Honesty

We quote what we can hit. When a deadline is tight, we say so up front. When a stock choice will disappoint you at scale, we tell you before you sign off.

03

In-house

We invest in our own presses, die-cutters and finishing because outsourcing means schedule slippage and quality drift. If it's made under our roof, we can promise it.

04

Service

Customers can walk into the office any working day. Consultation is free, and a printed sample is on the table before the run.

In-house from plate to finish

A pressroom built for print and packaging.

Offset presses from single-unit to four-unit, plus die-cutting, binding and finishing — all on the premises. No outsourcing means faster turnaround, tighter colour control, and one point of contact from proof to delivery.

Single-colour offset press

One-unit press for economical single-colour runs, spot work and long text jobs — the workhorse of the plant.

Two-colour offset press

Two-unit press for two-colour print in a single pass — faster make-ready and tighter register.

Four-colour offset press

Full-colour CMYK printing in one pass, with press-consistent colour from the first sheet to the last.

Die-cutting & creasing

Precise cutting, creasing and embossing that turns a printed duplex sheet into a clean packaging blank.

Binding & finishing

Perfect binding, saddle stitching, folding and trimming for books, magazines and commercial work.

Lamination & finishing

Matte / gloss lamination, spot UV and foil that protect the print and lift it off the shelf.

The plant

Come see how the box gets made.

Booking a tour of the production plant is welcome — call ahead and we'll walk you through the presses, die-cutting, binding and finishing.
