Cartridge World Is Your Friendly Neighborhood Hero for Business Printing Solutions

With its innovative Why Buy a Printer Program, a holistic approach to imaging solutions and eco-friendly printing options, Cartridge World has set itself apart from the crowded printing services segment.

Cartridge World was founded in 1988 by Bryan Stokes in Adelaide, Australia. Originally named the "Australian Cartridge Company,” the brand started with a mission of providing premium printing and imaging products and services to both homes and businesses. After changing its name to Cartridge World in 1999, the brand successfully developed locations all across the globe, from Africa to New York City, each of which was invested in the community, passionate about the local environment and eager to solve printer issues.

Now, with the addition of a revitalized brand vision and innovative printing services, Cartridge World is much more than just your average printing services franchise. While many of today’s brands are focused on hardware and technology, Cartridge World focuses on providing local businesses and clients with premium managed printing services: products and expertise to solve the myriad challenges the imaging industry brings with it. This focus on holistic and personalized solutions allows the brand to maintain a consistency of service that most major printing services and supply concepts simply cannot match, putting Cartridge World in an industry all its own.

“Today, the Cartridge World brand sets itself apart from the crowded printing services and products segment by operating on a model that provides managed print services and puts the local business first,” said Marketing Manager Alan White. “Instead of simply selling printer cartridges, the brand has carved out a niche that offers total and flexible business solutions for any budget and solves real-world office printing challenges for the local communities in which it operates.”

Whether it’s a home printer or a business printer fleet meant to produce critical documents, Cartridge World is proud to function as a local business partner that uses its expertise to find unique solutions for each of its clients. In addition to a wide selection of brand-name printers, Cartridge World clients have access to printer programs and products that can transform the printing experience for any home, office or business.

Cartridge World has adopted a holistic approach to managed print services and imaging solutions, which includes high-quality, low-cost and dependable printer and toner cartridges and on-site printer service and repair. It doesn’t stop there, either—Cartridge World also prides itself on offering eco-friendly and sustainable printing, complementary and personal consultations, and automated supply fulfillment offerings via the CW Printer Pulse solution to provide automated cartridge delivery before local clients even know they need it.

As opposed to the big-box retailers of today, Cartridge World is not afraid to put the client first, whether that be through on-demand support, repair or even a printer at no cost. Recently, Cartridge World unveiled its Why Buy a Printer Program, an innovative approach to the industry that provides local businesses with everything that their current supplier doesn’t. By simply agreeing to buy Cartridge World products, business customers receive a brand-name printer—and recurring on-site service—at no cost. Plus, Cartridge World products are superior in quality to brand or big box store products and save businesses up to 30%.

“With the Why Buy a Printer Program, clients are able to remove old printers and receive printers that meet their actual business needs, removing the headaches, service issues and pains that come with them. Plus, businesses receive new cartridges before their current ones run out,” said White. “It may sound too good to be true, but it’s the truth.”

As the “hero to small and medium-sized businesses,” Cartridge World ensures that local clients and business owners are given a hands-on approach to their business printer needs in every way possible. This includes personalized consultation and monitoring to increase printing expense visibility and budget predictability and help align print devices based on actual usage to minimize downtime and maximize the lifespan of printers. The brand offers no-cost delivery of business-class printers and multifunction devices with all maintenance, repair, and service included at no charge so clients can feel confident in their printing abilities at all times.

Regardless of the size, Cartridge World makes sure to walk each client through every step of the process, providing tailored printing solutions that meet the needs and budget of any local business or home user. By doing so, Cartridge World has distinguished itself as a neighborhood hero within the printing services and supplies category.

“Unlike most of today’s printing businesses, Cartridge World’s focus on fostering community relationships creates powerful local connections,” said White. “With our tailored and flexible business solutions, Cartridge World provides a new way to manage your business printing and is the perfect alternative to long-term copier contracts, expensive brands and big-box store printer cartridges.”

The initial investment required to open a Cartridge World Executive Office Model franchise ranges from $58,900 to $106,300, including the $40,000 franchise fee. For more information on franchise opportunities with Cartridge World, please visit https://cartridgeworld.com/franchising/.
