Beginner friendly: Challenging

Starting a sustainable packaging design and supply chain optimization business can be challenging for beginners due to the specialized knowledge and industry requirements. It typically involves understanding materials, design principles, and logistics, which may require time and effort to learn. While online resources like courses and forums can provide valuable information, practical experience is crucial for success. The setup costs can range from $500 to $2000, mainly for equipment and materials. Profits may start coming in after 6 months to 1 year, depending on client acquisition and project completion. I'd rate it a 1 because of the steep learning curve and initial investment needed, making it difficult for most beginners to generate profits quickly.
