Running a printing business can involve risks, such as: 

• An employee could injure themselves while using printing machinery 
• A customer could trip over loose cables in your print shop 
• Printing machinery could break down on the job, leaving you unable to finish jobs 
• A fire could break out in your storeroom, burning through all your valuable stock 

Without the right insurance, your business could be left to pay for unexpected repairs, replacement or even legal costs following a claim. This could affect your finances, or worse stop you from trading. 

If you rent your premises, your landlord may require you to have certain cover. You should always check your own rental agreement yourself.

Printing insurance policies often include exclusions and limits. The exact exclusions depend on your insurer and your own policy wording, but it may include: 

• Wear and tear - Insurance policies don’t include cover for general wear and tear to the building and/or equipment. 
• Deliberate damage - Claims involving intentional or deliberate damage caused by the policyholder are not usually covered. 
• Poor workmanship - Many standard business insurance policies exclude coverage for defects in workmanship. This means if there’s a flaw in the way something was made, many standard policies may not cover the costs to repair or replace it.  
• Poor maintenance of equipment - Damage caused by failing to properly maintain equipment or machinery may not be included within the policy terms. 

Terms and limits apply. It is important to check your own policy documents carefully , so you understand what is and is not covered.

Prices could start from 85p a day*

The printing business insurance cost for your company will depend on several factors, including the size of your business, the insurer you choose and the level of cover you require. 

Factors such as the number of employees you have, the type of products or services you offer, the location of your business, and whether or not you’ve had claims made against you or you have made previous claims can all affect your premium. Getting a printing insurance quote is the best way to see how much you’re insurance could cost.

 _{*The price is for a commercial combined policy – the average of the bottom 10% of customers who were sold with one of our panel providers paid £311 annually (excluding any additional administration fees) between 01/07/2025 & 30/06/2026. Equivalent to £25.93 a month or 85p a day (and excludes the extra costs for paying monthly). Your actual price and policy may vary depending on your business requirements.}
