The publishing company

Footprint is an Italian digital publishing company specializing in personalized projects for sporting clubs, with the aim of spreading club values and communicating with the club’s very own root supporters. It has to do with the only Italian digital publishing company that has its very own packaging and printing centre that allows them to monitor in its entirety the development of its projects from idea to creation.

The company got underway six years ago with the publishing of picture card albums for local sports clubs, which enabled the small name players’ dream of having their own picture card just like the big names come true. Throughout the years its technology and quality has improved, a fact that has let them approach professional Italian football clubs such as Juventus, Sampdoria, Bologna, and Bari…

This season, Footprint has also extended their project in the French market, by collaborating with teams such as París S. Germain, Lille and Saint Etienne.
