If you are looking for information on the Press-A-Print franchise business opportunity, Press-A-Print franchises or Press-A-Print franchising, then you have come to the right place.
Press-A-Print offers all of the benefits of an expensive "franchise operation", but at the much lower cost of a "business opportunity". It's easy to learn, and can be operated by an individual, a couple, or by the entire family. And, unlike most business opportunities, Press-A-Print Owners/Operators are supported, nurtured and guided toward success from the very beginning.
When you walk through the door with a display case full of affordable, saleable items, they'll do most of the talking for you. Once you sell a customer and establish a relationship, they'll call you again and again for their advertising needs. Plus, they'll tell all of their business associates about your ability to produce great promotional products. You'll have tons of new clients headed your way.
Promotional products make millions of dollars for businesses everywhere. They work regardless of the state of the economy, they're a continually used advertising tool, and an on-going source of income for suppliers like you.
How much you want to make depends on how hard you want to work. Most businesses have to wait years for profit due to large overheads, multiple employees, and huge start-up costs. You have none of those problems. You'll start earning the day you start working. Since you can print from 100 to 500 products an hour, you'll complete and invoice orders as much as you want to.

The equipment is designed for easy operation. But, success comes from knowing the nuances of printing that will set you apart from the competition. You'll learn all of the tricks of the trade by actually performing tasks in our hands-on sessions. When you begin to work at home, you'll already feel a familiarity that breeds confidence.
The information presented may have changed since first published. We recommend that you always verify fees, investment amounts and offers with the business opportunity directly prior to making a decision to invest.
1. What training and ongoing support do you provide?
You want to know what happens after you pay the initial fee. A strong franchisor provides comprehensive pre-opening training, site-selection help, operational playbooks, and continuous assistance with marketing, technology, and supply chains.
2. What is the total initial investment, and did actual startup costs match the estimates in Item 7 of the FDD?
The Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) lists estimated startup costs in Item 7, but real-world expenses can run higher. Asking how closely current owners tracked to these estimates reveals if you need extra working capital or if hidden fees exist.
3. How do royalties and local/national marketing fees impact profitability?
You need to understand ongoing financial obligations-such as monthly royalty percentages and ad fund contributions-and evaluate whether the brand value and support justify cutting into your profit margins.
4. What are the common challenges new franchisees face, and how do you help them overcome them?
Transparent franchisors will openly discuss real hurdles like local competition, tight labor markets, or supply chain bottlenecks, and show you the exact playbook or field support they offer to solve them as well as allowing you to speak with other franchisees.
5. How many franchise locations have closed or left the system in the past few years, and why?
High turnover, store closures, or quiet franchise exits are major red flags. This question measures system stability, territory health, and whether the corporate team addresses struggling owners or lets them fail.
