Business Start Up

What are the best print products for a business start-up?

We recommend starting with the essentials that help you make a great first impression and promote your brand effectively. Popular print items for new businesses include:

• Business cards – a must-have for networking and professionalism

• Flyers and leaflets – great for spreading the word locally

• Branded stationery – build trust with printed letterheads or compliment slips

• Stickers or labels – ideal for packaging, products, or sealing orders

• Roller banners – perfect for market stalls, pop-up shops or events

• Custom packaging – for online retailers and product-based businesses

Which printed items offer the best value for a start-up budget?

Our budget-friendly ranges, such as classic business cards, unlaminated flyers, and labels on a roll, offer great impact at a low cost. We also offer low minimum order quantities, so you can test different formats without overspending.

Can I order small quantities while I test my business idea?

Yes. Many of our products, like business cards, flyers, and stickers, are available in small quantities starting from just 50 units. This is perfect for trial runs, market testing, or soft launches.

How can printed materials help my new business grow?

Print gives your brand a tangible presence. From eye-catching flyers to professional signage, it helps you attract customers, build credibility, and create a strong visual identity. Printed materials also make your business look established and trustworthy, even if you’ve just started out.

Do you offer design tools for new businesses without artwork?

Yes. Our free Online Designer makes it easy to create your own business cards, flyers, posters and more—no graphic design experience needed. Just choose a template, customise it with your logo, colours and text, and send it to print.

We also suggest you pop over to our Resource Hub, filled with tools to help you design for print. 

Can I use Canva designs with Tradeprint?

Absolutely. If you’ve created your artwork in Canva, just download your file as a high-quality PDF with crop marks and bleed, and upload it during checkout. Our team is happy to help if you need guidance.

What’s the turnaround time for start-up printing?

Most of our products are available with same-day printing and next-day delivery when you order before 1pm. We know timing is crucial for start-ups, so we offer fast, reliable turnaround options.
