Bocholt, July 2026
Schmatzepuffer is specifically developing its manufacturing facility in Bocholt. The areas of personalization, production, warehouse organization and shipping will be more closely integrated and incorporated into a professional logistics environment at Im Egeling 21.
The manufactory remains an independent core area of Schmatzepuffer. Personal design, product development and the careful processing of individual customer data are not outsourced, but are organizationally more closely linked to subsequent work steps.
Schmatzepuffer strengthens manufactory and logistics in Bocholt
Personalized products place special demands on operational processes. Unlike unaltered merchandise, individual information must be recorded, assigned to the correct product, technically prepared, implemented, and subsequently checked.
By more strongly connecting the manufactory, warehouse, and shipping areas both spatially and organizationally, Schmatzepuffer is responding to these specific requirements. The integration aims to prevent personalization from being treated as an isolated intermediate step. Instead, it will be organized as a central component of the entire order process.

A strategic decision and not just a relocation
The integration of the manufactory is more than a physical change. It is part of Schmatzepuffer's strategic realignment. The company is focusing more strongly on personalized baby and children's products as well as its own developments and manufacturing services.
Personalization only works reliably if product, customer data, material, machine, quality control, and shipping are coordinated. If these areas are organized separately, additional routes, handovers, and potential sources of error arise.
At the Bocholt site, these interfaces will be simplified. The paths between warehouse, order preparation, personalization area, and shipping will be shorter. At the same time, there will be enough space to accommodate new processes, materials, and product groups in the manufactory.
What does the integration of manufactory and logistics mean?
The term integration does not mean that personalization becomes a fully automated standard process. Rather, it describes the closer connection of all work steps that are necessary before and after the actual finishing.
Order data is uniquely assigned
Names, birth dates, baptismal dates, colors and other information must be uniquely assigned to the correct product and the correct order. Structured processes reduce the number of unnecessary handovers.
Products are specifically provided
The item to be personalized is removed from the warehouse and supplied to the designated processing area. Variants, colors and product sizes must exactly match the order.
Processing methods are clearly separated
Depending on the product, laser processing, printing, plotting, assembly, 3D printing or other finishing steps may be required. Orders are assigned to the appropriate work area.
Quality control becomes part of the process
After processing, the product, design and order assignment are checked. The inspection takes place before the final packaging and handover to shipping.
Shipping is directly connected
After completion, personalized and supplementary order items can be combined, packaged and prepared for shipping or an agreed collection.
The Schmatzepuffer manufactory remains independent
Integration into a professional logistics environment does not mean abandoning its own manufacturing. Product development, personalization concepts, design, customer communication and operational responsibility for Schmatzepuffer remain with the company.
The manufactory is to be strengthened through better general conditions. This particularly concerns available areas, material routes, order assignment, warehouse connection and the possibility of controlled establishment of additional production processes.
In the future, a clear distinction will continue to be made between selected brand products personalized at Schmatzepuffer, and products from the Schmatzepuffer Manufactory, where the company undertakes additional development, processing, or manufacturing steps.
Classification of the logistics location Im Egeling 21
The location at Im Egeling 21 in Bocholt has administrative, warehouse and logistics areas. Nobby Pet Shop GmbH is also located at the same address.
Nobby describes itself as a manufacturer and trading company for pet supplies that has been active for more than 30 years. The company thus has many years of experience with a wide range of products and professional goods and logistics processes.
For Schmatzepuffer, the professional logistical environment is particularly relevant. The close proximity creates the conditions for short distances, orderly material flows and an environment in which warehousing, picking and shipping have a high organizational priority.
What should improve for customers?
The organizational development is not an end in itself. It is intended to help process personalized orders in a clear and controlled manner, even with changing demand.
- Clearer assignment of products and individual personalization details
- Shorter internal paths between warehouse, processing, control, and shipping
- Better planning during seasonally high demand
- Additional capacities for new personalized products
- Clearer separation of different processing and production methods
- Structured consolidation of multi-part orders
- Improved conditions for quality control and documentation
Personalized products still require processing time. The integration therefore does not mean that every individual item can be shipped immediately. Rather, it is intended to ensure that the available processing time is used in a more predictable and transparent manner.
From customer order to shipping
The exact process differs depending on the product. A personalized order can generally pass through the following stations:
Order and data acquisition
Customers select the product, the desired variant and the available personalization details.
Order review and assignment
The order is assigned to the appropriate product, storage location and processing method.
Provision of the item
The correct product and the ordered variant are taken from the warehouse and prepared for personalization.
Technical preparation
Depending on the process, print, laser, plot or other production data are created and assigned to the order.
Personalization or manufacturing
The product is designed with names, birth dates, baptismal dates, motifs or other selected details.
Control and consolidation
The result is checked and, for multi-part orders, consolidated with the remaining items.
Packaging and shipping
The complete order is packaged and prepared for shipping or confirmed pickup in Bocholt.
Foundation for additional capacities and new products
Schmatzepuffer aims to gradually expand its own manufactory with additional products, materials, and personalization processes. This requires not only machines, but also suitable storage areas, secure work areas, and clear handovers between the individual process steps.
The integration into the logistics environment creates the basis for new product ideas not merely to be implemented as individual projects. They should be reproducible, controllable, and, given sufficient demand, also processed in larger quantities.
Laser processing
Names, dates, motifs, and texts can be transferred to suitable materials by laser processing, depending on the product.
Printing and Customization
Different printing methods are used for selected products. The material, surface, motif, and intended use are crucial.
3D Printing and In-house Developments
3D printing enables complementary components, proprietary product ideas, and smaller series. Development, manufacturing, and testing are organized on a product-specific basis.
Assembly and Compilation
Products with multiple components can be assembled, complemented, and checked as a complete order within clearly defined work areas.
New products are not only evaluated based on whether they are technically feasible to manufacture. Material suitability, safe use, traceable production steps, and whether personalization creates real added value for customers are equally important.
