Estimates suggest startup costs typically around $3,000 to $15,000, depending on whether you print in-house or use a trade printer, and on your equipment. Printing errors can mean costly reprints, so signed proofs matter.

Estimates suggest monthly revenue typically around $1,500 to $7,500, depending on how many business and event orders you win and your batch sizes. The estimates start from about 15 hours a week.

Check whether your premises or home are approved by council for this work, especially if you add print equipment. Also check you have written permission to reproduce customers' logos, public and product liability insurance, and ATO GST registration at the threshold.
