Franchising
Our core business
Cartridge World's core business is the refilling and remanufacturing of printer cartridges and the retailing of new printer consumables. Our shop fronts are painted in bright colours, we offer a while-u-wait service and most importantly the customer is offered an alternative to purchasing very expensive new printer cartridges resulting in huge savings-up to 50% of the new Original Equipment Manufacture (OEM) prices.
With only 22% of cartridges currently being refilled in Australia and our aggressive plans for the future with public education, the future is bright and prosperous for Cartridge World, its franchisees, customers and the environment.
Our Customer base is growing
Market research shows that more than 85%* of people currently throw away their used cartridges and buy new ones. Imagine what this means in terms of the growth potential of our industry as more and more people realise they can have their cartridges refilled AND save around 50% on the cost of a new one.
