Who is E.grami and what market does it serve?
E.grami is a trade supplier of funeral and memorial print in Poland. Its store, egrami.pl, is written in Polish and describes itself as close to three decades in the business, selling mainly to funeral firms rather than directly to grieving families. On 2026-10-03 the catalogue covered funeral plaques in several sizes, colours and foils; portraits reproduced on canvas, laminate, plaques and memorial cards; obituary notices with a black-and-white or coloured frame; laminated and plastic memorial cards; mourning ribbons; aluminium crosses; and cemetery boards.
The design step sits behind a dedicated page the store calls its creator: an online tool for a plaque, an obituary notice or a memorial picture, backed by nine tutorial videos covering the basics, the customer's own saved archive, obituary layout, laminated and plastic cards, and photo placement, plus remote training for staff who are not designers. Product pages carry their own configurator for plaque colour, graphic elements and personalised text.
The businesses named in these case studies are Netbase JSC clients; the web-to-print work described was delivered or designed by Netbase JSC, which operates Web2Print Solutions. Names, links and screenshots are shown with the operator's authorization and removed on request.

How large is Poland's funeral and memorial print niche?
Statistics Poland (GUS) estimated about 406,000 deaths in Poland in 2025, against 408,500 in 2024, 409,000 in 2023 and an estimated 519,500 in the pandemic year 2021. The same release puts the 2025 natural change at roughly -4.5 per 1,000 population, meaning about 168,000 more deaths than births over the year. Each of those deaths sits behind at least one order for a plaque, a notice or a memorial card, almost always placed within days, which is why the segment runs on dependable, repeatable templates rather than bespoke design work. GUS also publishes weekly death counts broken down by age, sex and 73 subregions for 2025, a dataset a trade supplier can use to plan production and stock by region and season rather than from a single national total.
What is the business problem a trade supplier like this has to solve?
A funeral firm orders a plaque, a notice or a memorial picture on behalf of a grieving family, usually within a day or two of a death, and the order has to be exactly right: a wrong name, date or verse cannot be reprinted after the service. The buyer placing that order is a funeral director, not a graphic designer, and is working under time pressure that a long design back-and-forth cannot absorb.
The second constraint is the channel. E.grami sells mainly to other businesses, so its catalogue runs on trade accounts with their own pricing, not a single retail price list shown to any visitor. A design step built for a casual shopper does not fit a trade buyer who orders repeatedly, needs training once, and then expects the tool to stay quick. Without a dedicated creator, every order would depend on a phone call or an email thread with a designer, which does not scale across a catalogue this wide.
What decisions and trade-offs shaped the project?
-
A dedicated creator with tutorials and remote training, not a bare configurator
The rejected option is a configurator alone, with no guidance, on the assumption that buyers already know design software. Funeral-firm staff are not designers, so the creator ships with nine tutorial videos and an offer of remote training rather than relying on buyers to work it out.
-
Extending the existing creator to a second domain, not a second build
When the client opened a second store, the records show data migration and an install of the same online designer rather than a separate tool built from scratch. Reusing the proven creator logic kept both domains behaviourally consistent instead of forking the design experience.
-
Fixing reported defects on the live creator, not deferring them to a rebuild
Support records from late 2024 list specific problems: a text field that would not move, a slow save to the design archive, links pointing to the wrong address, and plugin settings that did not persist. Each was treated as a support task on the live tool rather than held back for a larger rewrite, because the trade channel keeps taking orders every day it is open.
-
A recurring store-care package, not a one-off launch
A 2026 milestone recommends ongoing server upgrade and optimisation support, on the view that a growing trade catalogue needs continuing stability work, not a project treated as finished at launch.
How does an order move from login to a production file?
The store's own creator is where a trade account starts a plaque, a notice or a memorial picture.
The creator has its own landing page, so a funeral firm reaches the design step directly rather than through a product option.
- Log in for trade pricing A funeral-firm account signs in to see the trade catalogue and its own price list before browsing plaques, notices or memorial pictures.
- Open the online creator The account opens the store's own design tool on the chosen product's page.
- Set colour and graphic elements The creator sets the plaque colour and the top and bottom graphic elements, such as a cross or a wreath, before any text is added.
- Add name, dates and a photo The account types the name and dates, adds any notes, and uploads a photo for the plaque, the notice or the card.
- Check that the design saves to the archive A slow or failed save routes the order to support before it ever reaches the production queue; a save that completes moves the design into the archive as a print-ready file, and the trade account can later check the order's status.
-

Integrations
WooCommerce catalogue and checkout; Elementor page building; a client-specific trade-account plugin
The failure modes the build guards against are the ones the support records name directly: a text element that cannot be repositioned, a design archive that saves too slowly for a buyer working against a deadline, stored links that resolve to the wrong address, and plugin settings that silently fail to persist between sessions. Each is a way a correct-looking order could still reach production wrong, which is the one outcome this niche cannot absorb.
Netbase JSC maintains reusable web-to-print components - a browser-based online designer, rule-based print pricing templates, print-ready PDF output with CMYK conversion, bleed and trim, storefront connectors for WooCommerce, Shopify, Wix and custom stores, and a photobook and multi-page layout editor - which an engagement may reuse under their own licence terms. The catalogue, trade accounts, pricing, production and customer relationships belong to E.grami.

What does this record show, and what does it not?
It shows a Polish trade supplier running a dedicated online creator for funeral plaques, obituary notices and memorial pictures, across two store domains, with dated support work from 2023 through 2026.
It does not show order volumes, conversion or any revenue figure; none is measured to a published method and none is claimed. It does not show who built the creator before September 2023; the client relationship is older, but the project-specific records begin there. Web2Print Solutions is the web-to-print engineering service of Netbase JSC. Delivery records cited on this site belong to Netbase JSC; where no delivered example of a capability is published, the page says so rather than implying a record.
What should a print business in this niche take from it?
-
Design for the buyer who will actually use the tool
A funeral director under time pressure needs a creator that works on the first try, not one built for a trained designer.
-
Treat every text field as a place an unrecoverable error can hide
A name, a date or a verse that goes to print wrong on a memorial product cannot be reprinted after the service.
-
Separate trade and retail logic from the start if you sell to both
A price list and catalogue view that only appears after login is a different product decision from a single retail storefront.
-
Budget for support after launch, not only before it
Saved-design performance, broken links and settings that do not persist are the kind of defect that surfaces only once real buyers use the tool daily.
-
Plan for the tool to outlive one domain
A second store for the same client is a data-migration and reuse question, not a reason to design the creator twice.

How could a similar project start?
If you supply funeral, memorial or other trade-account print, send a project brief that lists your top product templates, the fields a buyer can change on each, and whether your pricing already differs by account or only by product. Portrait and memorial-canvas products follow the logic on canvas print with 3D preview, and option rules belong in a print product configurator. Trade-account and catalogue connections are covered under web-to-print ecommerce integration and WooCommerce web-to-print. A related memorial-print record, in a consumer rather than trade market, is the JÄGER kreativ case study in Germany; more client-operated stores are on live web-to-print stores, and every case study is indexed on the evidence hub.
