Today, I will explain the equipment and investment costs needed to start a keyring business or acrylic goods business.
I. Personal business?
1. “Just wait,,, ”
This is a conversation I had about 2 years ago.
I met my wife as a friend when she was 20, and we still call each other by name and are still friends.
On days when I go home early, I sometimes eat with my two sons (now in the third year of high school and the third year of middle school),,, half jokingly and half seriously,,
“When will I hear the sound of a madam? I, too, can become prettier if I exercise and have hobbies like the madams in Gangnam,,,”
The first son who is positive and carefree, “When will you be successful? If you look at the kids in my class, there are a lot of CEOs,”
The second son, who is somehow cynical, “Just do well at work, until you pay off all your debt (apartment loan),,”
Me, “Just wait a little, it’ll be okay,,,,”
The wife, “Dad is a late bloomer,,,, How long are you going to just lage(wait)??? Will bloomer come?”
2. Three coworkers who started a business with UV Printer
When I was working at Ink Tech, they worked as an AS for JETRIX UV Printer, and after they quit the company, they purchased that printer and started a printing business.
All three of them have been in business for over 5 years.
* One of them is expanding his business by introducing CNC and purchasing laser cutting equipment.
* Another one is running a business by purchasing two ARTJETs and one laser cutting machine in addition to the existing equipment. “Brother, it’s still much better than working life. I can use my time as I want,” he said, and he is satisfied with his life by prioritizing personal time over work.
* last person, a church elder, also seems to be doing well in business.
It’s their first business, but seeing that they are doing well without any difficulties because they are doing related work, I often think, ‘The option of [printing business] isn’t a bad choice!’
3. Printing cost
At my previous job, I occasionally did bulk printing orders, and although the color matching work and delivery were a bit difficult,
the actual work was simply repetitive, and when I look at the cost after doing so, it didn’t cost as much as you might think.
Color ink consumption is minimal. However, when white is printed in full, white ink is consumed a lot, but it is minimal compared to the unit price of final product.
Most printing shops are run by individuals or families, so it’s not an actual amount, so it’s ambiguous to include it as cost.
I think the other costs are materials, packaging, and shipping costs.
4. Sales is the most scary thing
All three friends who started a printing shop knew only how to operate the equipment and had no business foundation.
They said that after three months of starting a blog with anxious hearts, they received one or two calls.
Now, they have been in business for over five years and the orders seem to be steady.
Most of the people who inquired about the ARTJET UV Printer equipment were working in this field.
Those who have a feel for how the equipment operates and the overall business works
Or, those who are starting after securing a certain amount of orders
Or, those who are outsourcing and purchasing equipment out of frustration
5. People who started the printing shop.
When the equipment price was high,
those who only had UV printers outsourced laser cutting or CNC processing,
and those who had laser cutting or CNC processing equipment also outsourced printing to companies with UV printers.
As the equipment price became cheaper,
the difficulty of coordinating delivery dates, post-processing costs, logistics costs,
in other words, the cost of outsourcing and the cost of purchasing post-processing equipment were compared,
and those who had UV printers purchased post-processing equipment,
and those who had post-processing equipment also purchased UV printers.
If I look at those who have UV printers and post-processing equipment,
there are those who differentiate themselves with fast delivery,
and those who are flexible in adjusting prices because they do printing and post-processing themselves when price competition is fierce,
and those who respond quickly to UV printing or processing defects,
Above all, you can immediately create the product you are thinking of and evaluate its marketability, and through product development like this, you can create items with high added value.
II. Keyring Business Required Equipment and Investment Costs
1. Option 1 Only UV Printer
The amount may vary depending on the region, office area, purchased equipment, and production volume.
If you start with a UV Printer, the initial investment cost for the rental deposit + equipment cost is 30 million won, and the monthly fixed cost is 400,000 won.
The disadvantage is that
You cannot make the finished product yourself because you do not have a laser cutting device or an acrylic bonding device.
The fixed cost of office rental is the same whether you have additional equipment or not.
The advantage is that
The initial investment cost is low.
Since you only have one device, you can study the UV Printer more deeply.
Except for keyring item, you can slowly build a blog foundation by making items that can be made only with a UV Printer.
2. Option 2 UV Printer + Laser cutting Machine
The amount may vary depending on the region, office area, purchased equipment, and production volume.
UV Printer + Laser cutting machine, office rental deposit initial investment cost is 52 million won, monthly fixed cost is 430,000 won.
The disadvantages are
The initial investment cost is high.
It is a bit burdensome because you have to learn two pieces of equipment at once.
The advantages are
In addition to UV printer items, you can immediately develop additional items such as key rings.
Since there is almost no cost for consumables for laser cutting equipment, the monthly fixed cost does not increase significantly.
3. Option 3 UV Printer + Laser cutting Machine + Acrylic bonding machine
Then you can make a joint keyring like the youtube below.
how to make Acrylic bonding keyring
The amount may vary depending on the region, office area, purchased equipment, and production volume.
UV Printer + Laser cutting machine, office rental deposit initial investment cost is 59.7 million won, monthly fixed cost is 530,000 won.
The disadvantage is
The initial investment cost is high.
Of course, it is burdensome because you have to learn three pieces of equipment at once.
The advantage is
The ability to produce acrylic bonding acrylic, which is becoming a recent trend.
III. If it were me, would I choose option 1, 2, or 3??
1. I’m going to work right now!!
I told you that three of my colleagues started a printing business and ran it well without going bankrupt.
None of them started a printing business right away.
The first friend
invested in equipment + ran it with one acquaintance while working, and when his personal business got busy, he quit his job and focused on his personal business.
The second friend
did not plan on having a printing business from the beginning and was an equipment dealer, but when equipment sales did not go as well as expected,
he saved fixed costs by using demo equipment he bought cheaply and an acquaintance’s office.
The third friend
joined a printing company after quitting his job and started his own business after learning to some extent.
If you are not in a related field, move to a company that actually produces and supplies key rings or a similar company,
* Learn how to make estimates,
* Research material purchasing companies such as acrylic,
* See how sales are done,
If you are currently working in a related field, I recommend that you ‘don’t just complain and keep doing what you are doing’,
and learn and prepare the things listed above one by one with the intention of starting your own business.
In this way,
I recommend that you learn one by one the things necessary for a personal business,
and prepare the initial investment costs for the business,
and start when you are ready.
2. Option 3 of course
All of the leading companies that are doing keyring goods items have UV Printer + Laser cutting equipment a long time ago,
and most of those companies also have acrylic bonding equipment at now.
Since it is an online competition, not an offline one, “Which company said they make bonded keyrings?”
Since customers who know each other can request comparative estimates from places that do bonding keyrings,
those who order prefer to order both the bonding keyring and the regular keyring from one place,
if you are just starting out, option 3 is the right choice.
Fortunately, the acrylic bonding machine is not a big expense, so if you have purchased a laser cutter, it is right to purchase it together.
3. Capitalism is,,,
“Capitalism is a world where capital is the master, that is, a system where one can earn more capital based on capital only if one has capital.”
As if suddenly realizing
‘I’ve never invested money to accumulate capital, so now and in the future, I will never have money without working!’
The speed, absolute amount, and sustainability of money making money
The speed, absolute amount, and sustainability of the monthly salary I receive by investing my time in other people’s capital
The sustainability of a decent monthly salary seems to be until the average retirement age for men is 49.
I think that for old age, or even for life in your 50s, you should think about your own business in some form.
That’s it for today.
