Hi

Why do you want to open your own? In my experience of the printing industry about 10 years ago, I found that many printing presses have extra capacity and you can outsource your jobs to them for less than the cost of purchasing equipment and fuelling your own press.

If someone else has invested capital in their press and is burning petrol to keep it running, you are better off outsourcing your jobs to them. Their charges will be much lower than the cost of you getting started, and you will be able to enjoy bigger margins.

If I were you, I would concentrate on using the money I have to market the service and create a professional outlook - branding, website, flyers, business cards. Then network and find customers.

All the best

Printing business is lucrative – it seems that you can make millions simply by answering to the market demand. Indeed, the demand is there.

So, I thought starting a printing business is easy – just buy a printer, printing software for digital printing, stock-up, and you are ready to start. The truth is, I search the web and found out what the been-there-done-that experts say: If you think printing business is easy, think again.

Of course, the potential is still huge, despite all the online media and such; there are always needs for printing… businesses still rely on brochures, business cards, banners and such for their branding and marketing campaign. They still adopt a hybrid approach to marketing, using both online and off line methods. All in all, the opportunities are there.

However, let’s not forget that because it seems easy to start, there are many budding entrepreneurs jump into the printing bandwagon. “Fortunately” many of them fail due to their misconceptions about the printing business – the same misconceptions I have, I must say.
