Printing Service

What is ProxyStore Druck

ProxyStore Druck (druck.proxysto.re) is the printing arm of ProxyStore, a Leipzig, Germany-based privacy-focused retail operation. As of 2026-05-30, it operates as a datensparsamer Druckservice, a data-minimizing print service, allowing customers to order custom printed materials without submitting personal information. The shop handles standard products like outdoor stickers, classic flyers, posters in digital and offset printing, magazines with wire binding, brochures, folded leaflets, banners and planen, plus clothing, textiles, promotional items and advertising technology.

The service is explicitly designed for users who want to minimize their digital footprint. Customers select a product and shipping method, upload a PDF file, and pay in advance. If the file is printable, an order is created with one click; if not, the file is deleted after 30 minutes. Unpaid orders are deleted after 30 days. The operation runs on encrypted dedicated servers at Hetzner in Germany.

How no-KYC is it?

ProxyStore Druck is genuinely no-KYC for most payment and fulfillment paths. The site does not require account creation, email verification, or identity documents. Orders are tracked via order number and password, accessible through a simple login page without personal data collection.

The KYC-free experience depends on payment and delivery choices:

• Most private: Cash payment in person at the Leipzig store, or cash by post in 18 accepted currencies, combined with store pickup or locker collection.
• Highly private: Monero (XMR) or Bitcoin (BTC) payment, with shipping to any EU address or pickup.
• Less private: SEPA bank transfer exposes name and IBAN, retained for ten years per German tax law. PayPal exposes name, email and phone number, also retained for ten years.

Shipping addresses are collected for delivery but deleted 14 days after successful shipment. The privacy policy notes that business correspondence must be stored for six years. For users avoiding all metadata, cash plus in-person pickup appears to be the only zero-data path.

Privacy & security

ProxyStore Druck's privacy architecture is unusually transparent and well-documented. The privacy policy (Datenschutzerklärung gemäß Artikel 13 DSGVO) explicitly states:

• No access or error logging on web servers
• No data loaded from third-party servers (except PayPal buttons when PayPal is selected)
• Email server runs on encrypted dedicated Hetzner infrastructure in Germany
• Uploaded files: deleted after 30 minutes if no order created; unprintable files rejected
• Shipping addresses: deleted 14 days after shipment
• Financial records: SEPA and PayPal data retained for 10 years; crypto payments converted to fiat promptly at an exchange

The operator is identified as Itermann & Wansing OHG, Wolfgang-Heinze-Straße 14, 04277 Leipzig, Germany. This is a registered partnership, not an anonymous entity, which provides some accountability while still enabling anonymous customer transactions.

The site does not mention Tor or .onion access, VPN compatibility, or end-to-end encrypted communication beyond standard TLS. There is no evidence of past data breaches or privacy incidents in the available search results.

Payments, fees & limits

ProxyStore Druck accepts exclusively prepaid orders. Payment options as of 2026-05-30:

• Cash in store: Direct payment or anonymous drop in a designated mailbox
• Cash by post: Deutsche Post Einschreiben Wert (up to €100), DHL Paket (up to €500 per day), or commissioned value transport. Cash accepted in 18 currencies: AUD, CAD, CHF, CNY, CZK, DKK, EUR, GBP, ISK, JPY, NOK, NZD, PLN, RON, RSD, SEK, TWD, USD
• Cryptocurrency: Monero (XMR) and Bitcoin (BTC) via what appears to be BTCPay Server (referenced in footer as "BTCPay sync status")
• Bank transfer: SEPA to business account

The terms note specific requirements for crypto payments: exact amount, single transaction, single currency, paid before invoice expiration. Late crypto payments may be credited at the actual sale price at time of receipt. Multiple payments incur processing fees. Change from overpayment is available if requested promptly.

No specific pricing, fee schedule or minimum order values are visible in the crawled pages. The site offers country-specific pricing pages for all EU member states.

User experience & support

The ordering flow is deliberately minimal: browse products, configure options, upload PDF, choose shipping and payment. The site provides detailed guidance on creating print-ready PDFs using free software like Scribus, including technical requirements for bleed, resolution, color management and PDF/X-3 compliance.

Fulfillment options:

• Store pickup at Wolfgang-Heinze-Straße 14, Leipzig
• Locker pickup at same location
• DHL Paket (hand-stamped or digital postage)
• UPS Paket direct from print shop
• EU-wide shipping to all 27 member states

Store hours: Monday and Thursday 14:00-18:00; Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday 10:00-14:00. Short-term changes are posted on-site.

Support channels include email (mail ta proxysto.re), blog, GitHub, Mastodon and RSS. The site displays uptime and BTCPay sync status. No phone support, live chat, or ticket system is mentioned. Order status can be checked via the login page with order number and password.

Who it's for

ProxyStore Druck serves privacy-conscious individuals, activist groups, small businesses and anyone needing printed materials without identity verification. It is particularly suited for:

• Monero and Bitcoin users seeking real-world utility for privacy coins
• German and EU residents wanting cash-based commerce
• Leipzig locals who can exploit the full anonymity of in-person cash pickup
• Users comfortable with self-service PDF preparation and prepaid ordering

It is less suitable for those needing rush turnaround with hands-on design support, large corporate accounts with net-30 terms, or users outside the EU shipping zone. The trust score in older third-party data (55/100) suggests some community skepticism, though no specific complaints or scams were found in current search results. The operation's transparency about data handling and its physical presence in Leipzig provide more accountability than fully anonymous services, at the cost of some jurisdictional exposure to German regulations.
