Print shops and sign companies process orders ranging from $25 business card runs to $5,000+ custom signage. Every card payment carries processing fees that erode margins on both small commodity jobs and large custom projects.
For a print shop doing $20,000–$60,000/month in card sales, processing costs **$6,000 to $25,200/year**.
Network Offset Pricing for Print Shops

Why it works: Print customers approve quotes before production begins. Both prices appear on the quote. Large custom orders ($1,000+) incentivize check/ACH. Repeat business customers (property managers, restaurants, retailers) adapt quickly.
