Getting Started as a Print Reseller

The complete guide to starting your print resale business in South Africa.

Print resale is one of the easiest service businesses to start. With Printulu's wholesale pricing, you can markup print products 50-200% while offering clients better prices than they'd get direct.

Why Print Resale Works

Every business needs print. Business cards, flyers, brochures, banners — the demand is constant. But most businesses hate dealing with printers. That's where you come in.

As a print reseller, you act as the middleman between the printer and the end client. You handle the relationship, the file preparation, and the quality control. Printulu handles the production and delivery.

Getting Started

Step 1: Apply for a reseller account at printulu.co.za/reseller

Step 2: Get your wholesale pricing (typically 20-40% off retail)

Step 3: Start quoting clients. Add your markup and send the order to Printulu.

Best Products to Resell

  • Business cards — high volume, easy to quote
  • Flyers — popular for events and promotions
  • Brochures — great for agencies with marketing clients
  • Banners — events and retail always need these
