The wholesale print industry in North America is massive—but notoriously difficult to break into. With PrintSprout, we make it simple.
When you create an account with PrintSprout, you’ll gain instant access to our directory of corrugated products sourced directly from trusted wholesalers across the United States and Canada. Once your store is set up, you can list these products on your own website, set your margins, and start selling—while the wholesalers handle everything behind the scenes:
- Machinery
- Equipment
- Ink & supplies
- Overhead
- Printing & fulfillment
In short: you focus on selling and growing your business, and PrintSprout gives you the infrastructure and supplier access to make it happen.
Working with a Wholesaler vs. Buying Your Own Equipment
| Category | Work with Wholesalers (via PrintSprout) | Buy Your Own Equipment |
| Startup Cost | $0 – no machinery, no warehouse | $30K–$95K+ for UV printers + storage + supplies |
| Inventory | None required—products sourced on demand | Must purchase and store corrugated sheets ($2–$3.50/sq ft) |
| Storage Costs | $0 – no warehouse overhead | $1–$2 per sq ft/month or $15+/pallet/month |
| Employees | None – fulfillment handled by partners | Staff needed for printing, packing, and shipping |
| Repairs & Maintenance | $0 – wholesalers handle it | Thousands per repair, rare technicians |
| Time Commitment | 100% focused on selling & clients | Split between sales, production, and troubleshooting |
| Scalability | Instantly scalable—add more products as you grow | Limited by machine capacity and storage space |
| Risk | Minimal – no upfront capital | High – tied up in equipment, storage, and payroll |
Bottom Line:
With PrintSprout’s Wholesale Corrugated Directory, you don’t have to gamble with six figures of overhead just to get started. You get immediate access to industry-leading wholesalers, the ability to resell corrugated products directly on your site, and the freedom to scale without risk.
