FANBOX Print Launches System Integration with Taiwan's 'ibon'! Creator Works Now Available in Japan and Taiwan Convenience Stores

pixiv Inc. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Yasuhiro Niwa), operator of the content printing service 'FANBOX Print,' which allows users to purchase creator works at convenience stores nationwide, announced the start of system integration with 'ibon,' the multi-copy machines installed in 7,200 7-Eleven stores in Taiwan, effective May 28, 2026 (Thursday).

With this integration, creators can now sell their print products not only in Japan (approx. 33,000 stores) but also across Taiwan's 7-Eleven network (7,200 stores) simply by registering their works on FANBOX Print.

To commemorate this, an illustration submission contest will be held on pixiv.

Background of the Taiwan ibon Integration

Since its launch in September 2024, FANBOX Print has provided a mechanism for creators to easily sell merchandise at convenience stores and for fans to support them in their daily lives. Based on the vision of 'integrating with overseas multi-copy machines' set at the time of release, this partnership with 'ibon,' which boasts an overwhelming share in Taiwan, marks the first step in overseas expansion. This service is designed to allow creators from all over the world, not just Japan and Taiwan, to sell their works through convenience stores in both regions. This integration enables Japanese creators to reach fans across the sea in Taiwan, while also making it easier for overseas creators to enter the Japanese market.

Sales of Works by 34 Popular Taiwanese Creators Begin Ahead of Integration

Sales settings for Taiwan will be available on the FANBOX Print new content registration screen from May 28 (Thursday). In conjunction with this, works by 34 popular Taiwanese creators are now available for purchase in both Japanese and Taiwanese stores starting today.

We invite Japanese fans to enjoy these wonderful works from across the sea, and Taiwanese fans to purchase works from their favorite creators.
