Supporting us with your purchases
The Gutenberg Shop is run by the Gutenberg Foundation, a non-profit organisation. Volunteers work in all of the departments. Together, we aim to increase the standing of Johannes Gutenberg worldwide and support the Gutenberg Museum in Mainz, Germany.
All profits from the Gutenberg Shop go to the Gutenberg Museum, the world museum of printing.
Upholding ancient craft techniques
Our products are created with great technical skill and care. We work with materials that have always been traditionally used in printing, such as paper, ink, wood, leather and metal.
We produce practically all of our gifts in Germany and Europe and promote ancient craft techniques such as papermaking, penmanship, engraving, bookbinding – and of course printing. The art of book illumination in particular is also being revived in our valuable reproductions of individual pages from the Gutenberg Bible.
Sustainable right from the start
Sustainability and the constant control of the quality of our products and sources have been important to us since we founded the Gutenberg Shop almost 30 years ago. With each purchase from the Gutenberg Shop you acquire products of the highest quality from a certifi ed origin. You also support ancient cultural techniques and the Gutenberg Museum.
