Print Shop Insurance

Print shop insurance will help you protect your store against unexpected situations, along with claims from customers, employees, and others. A tailored SME insurance policy can protect your premises, your stock, and your operations, ensuring business continuity should anything go wrong.

Why print shops need insurance

As a print shop, you will make use of an extensive range of valuable equipment and machinery to fulfil your customers’ orders. Any issues with any of these items could severely disrupt your operations while compromising your continuity.

At the same time, there will always be the risk that your customers may make a claim against you should they feel in any way dissatisfied with your work. This could result in costly legal fees, and potentially a compensation payment.

Insurance for your Print shop insurance can help provide cover against these risks, and more.

What insurance do print shops need?

Print shops could benefit from:

  • Professional indemnity insurance – If you provide professional advice, design services or other specialist services, professional indemnity insurance can help protect you against certain claims arising from allegations of negligence, errors or omissions. Depending on the policy, it may also cover associated legal costs and compensation payments.
  • Business Interruption Insurance – This can help ensure continuity should you ever need to temporarily cease trading following an insured event such as a fire or a flood.
  • Stock and contents insurance – This cover is intended for your printing equipment, stock and other business contents against loss or damage caused by events such as fire, flood, theft or vandalism, subject to the terms of the policy.
  • Public liability insurance – This can help protect your business against claims from customers, visitors or other members of the public who suffer injury or property damage in connection with your business activities
  • Employer’s liability insurance – Will help protect you for claims made by employees who are injured or become ill as a result of their work for you. If you employ staff, you are legally required to have employers’ liability insurance in place.
  • All of the above will be subject to policy terms and conditions, exclusions and any applicable limits.

Examples of key risks for print shops

As a print shop, there are a number of risks specific to you and your businesses, including:

  • An employee, a customer, or some other member of the public could slip, trip, fall, or otherwise injure themselves while visiting or working in your store.
  • Your printing machinery or equipment could get damaged or stolen, severely disrupting your business operations.
  • Your stock could get destroyed, damaged, or stolen due to a fire, a flood, or a break-in.
  • A customer may make a claim against you following an issue with an order.

How much is insurance for print shops?

The cost of insurance for your print shop will depend on a number of factors, including:

  • The size and location of your printing shop.
  • The specific services you offer, and the types of clients you work with. For example, you may have to pay more for cover if you undertake large projects for commercial clients than you would if you undertook small projects for individuals.
  • The value of your stock and equipment.
  • The level of cover needed.
