If you’re looking to start a business, you’re focused on one major goal: finding a solid opportunity offering both high demand and excellent profit margins. Unfortunately, many business models today force owners to sell huge volumes of low-cost items just to break even. At SpeedPro—the nation’s leading large-format printing franchise—we offer a better solution.

By tapping into the high value of custom graphics while keeping internal costs low, SpeedPro allows Studio owners to reach an average gross profit margin of 68%! Our systemized approach creates a strong financial foundation for every franchise owner.
The Premium Value of Large-Format Customization
Unlike commodity printing, SpeedPro operates in a value-driven space. Our clients don’t just buy ink on paper; they buy impact, scale and unforgettable customization. They need GREAT. BIG. GRAPHICS. that transform a corporate headquarters, launch a national campaign, or define a retail experience.
This inherent value allows us to command premium pricing. Often, SpeedPro Studios use high-value substrates that draw attention—from high-end textiles and fabrics for sophisticated event displays, to innovative materials like glass and wood for architectural graphics and custom interiors. But even when utilizing inexpensive materials like vinyl banners, SpeedPro clients are paying for the unique design, impeccable quality, and flawless installation that only a professional partner can provide.
In essence, the value of SpeedPro’s products extends far beyond the physical print. It includes the consultative service and project management Studios provide, which justifies the final, high-value price tag.
Building Efficiency: How SpeedPro Controls Costs
High selling prices are only half the equation. Our ability to sustain industry-leading profit margins is rooted in how we carefully control the Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) and maintain low overhead. Two major elements factor into this.
First, our efficient production model allows for a streamlined labor approach. SpeedPro Studios operate with focused, small teams. This results in a significantly lower labor burden in production—directly lowering your COGS compared to more labor-intensive manufacturing or retail models.
Second, when you invest in SpeedPro, you gain the benefits of our national network. Thanks to SpeedPro’s collective purchasing power, our franchise owners buy high-value materials, like specialized textiles and wood, and high-volume materials, like vinyl, in bulk at drastically reduced unit costs. This ensures inventory acquisition costs are highly competitive—dramatically widening the gap between your costs and your selling price.
Together, these two things reduce the COGS for each large-format print product your Studio produces, allowing you to retain more of your hard-earned revenue.
Powerful Results: An Average 68% Gross Profit Margin
The combination of SpeedPro’s premium market positioning and our system-driven cost control leads to an outcome that speaks for itself: SpeedPro franchises report an average 68% gross profit margin.
This is not a theoretical benchmark; it is the result of aligning high client value with robust operational efficiency. Our simple formula for success is:
High Selling Price (Value) – Low COGS (Efficiency) = High Profit Margin
This exceptional margin translates directly into greater financial stability, improved cash flow, and a faster path to reaching your personal financial goals as a franchise owner. By extension, it allows you to invest confidently back into your business, your team and your community.
