PostNet franchise owners are able to get started with a total investment of $174,767 to $217,275, which includes working capital. Traditional printing and marketing franchises that offer only a fraction of the services — and market potential — generally cost 2-3 times as much to startup. Unlike printing franchises, we have smaller equipment packages and a more affordable buildout – we want our franchisees to have the equipment they need to be successful.

History

Since PostNet began franchising in 1993, the brand has grown to nearly 700 locations across North America, Central America, South America, Africa and Australia. Over two decades after we launched our proven business model, PostNet is even stronger. In 2017, PostNet became part of the global family of MBE Worldwide*. Combined, the two companies have an extensive reach of nearly 2,500 locations in 44 countries around the world. PostNet is driven by a visionary leadership team with a commitment to innovation through technology and a culture that seeks to ensure our franchise owners are profitable and are supported every step in their journey in becoming successful small business owners in their communities.

*MBE Worldwide is the owner of the Mail Boxes Etc. brand and business concept for the entire world except US and Canada.

Ideal Candidate
Because the business of PostNet is in helping the surrounding small businesses to thrive, the most successful PostNet franchisees are civic-minded and outgoing people. They gain fulfillment from working with small business owners, schools and others in their communities. Our franchise owners have diverse business backgrounds, and very few of them were in the printing or shipping business before joining the PostNet family. The essential skills that go into running a PostNet print franchise are project management and business-to-business networking.

The three industries in which we operate — printing, marketing and shipping — have a combined value of more than $380 billion. A PostNet franchise owner can offer all of the popular pack-and-ship services while also competing head-to-head with a full-scale printing franchise with just a fraction of the investment.
