Frequently asked questions
- What insurance do printing companies need?
- Printers need commercial combined cover (property, liability, business interruption), machinery breakdown insurance, employers' liability, and products liability. If you handle client data or designs, professional indemnity may also be needed.
- Does printing insurance cover defective print runs?
- Products liability covers claims from clients if a defective print run causes them financial loss. However, the cost of reprinting is typically excluded—that's a business cost, not an insured loss. Some policies offer a 'defective workmanship' extension.
- Is machinery breakdown covered under standard insurance?
- Not usually. Standard commercial combined policies exclude mechanical and electrical breakdown. You need a separate machinery breakdown policy or engineering inspection contract to cover repair and replacement costs.
