What is Print-On-Demand?
Print-on-demand (POD) is a manufacturing method where items such as clothing, accessories, home decor, and more are only printed or produced after an order has been placed.
It allows for a just-in-time inventory model, which means that the products are not manufactured until they are ordered by a customer, reducing the risk of unsold inventory.
POD companies typically use digital printing technology to produce items, which allows for small quantities to be produced at a low cost. This makes it possible for businesses, artists, and designers to offer a wide variety of products without the need for a large upfront investment in inventory.
POD companies usually provide an online platform or an application programming interface (API) that allows a business or an individual to connect their e-commerce website and automatically fulfill orders.
Some popular print-on-demand services include:
POD is a great way for entrepreneurs, designers, and artists to start an e-commerce business with low upfront costs, and it’s also a great way for established businesses to test new products or designs without risking a large inventory investment.
