5-Year Cost Analysis: Refurbished Paper Trays Save Small Businesses $1,200+ Annually

Date: 2025-12-11 Category：Company news Views：17

Many small businesses think refurbished paper trays are just a “cheap fix”—but a 5-year cost analysis proves they’re one of the best investments you can make for your office. Let’s do the math:

OEM Tray Cost: $90 per tray, replaced every 12 months → $450 over 5 years for 1 printer.
Generic Tray Cost: $25 per tray, replaced every 3 months → $500 over 5 years for 1 printer.
Our Refurbished Tray Cost: $49 per tray, replaced every 18 months → $163 over 5 years for 1 printer.

That’s a **$287 savings per printer over 5 years**—or $1,200+ for a small business with 5 printers. And that’s not counting the cost of downtime from broken generic trays or the hassle of frequent replacements.

Our refurbished trays deliver long-term savings because we don’t cut corners:

18-Month Average Lifespan: Twice as long as generic trays, thanks to reinforced plastic and new hinges.
Low Maintenance: No need to clean or adjust the tray monthly—our precision design works smoothly for years.
Bulk Discounts for Long-Term Orders: Lock in a low price for 3+ years of trays, and save an extra 10%.

Mike, a small accounting firm owner with 4 printers, says: “I ran the numbers and was shocked. Switching to refurbished trays saved us $1,148 over 5 years. That’s money we used to hire a part-time bookkeeper—game-changing for our small team.”

We’ll even provide you with a custom cost analysis for your business: tell us how many printers you have, and we’ll show you exactly how much you’ll save over 1, 3, and 5 years.
