What is “print on demand”?

  • print on demand

Print on demand (POD) is a dropshipping business model that revolutionizes the production of printed apparel and products by eliminating the need for upfront investment.

Through cutting-edge printing methods like direct-to-garment (DTG) printing and all-over printing (AOP), POD enables the creation of customized items on-demand, even in quantities as small as a single unit, at a remarkably low cost.

In contrast to traditional printing techniques such as screen printing, which necessitate bulk ordering to be economically viable, POD completely mitigates the risk for merchants. With POD, products are only printed once a sale is made, eliminating the need for inventory investment and minimizing financial risk.

This innovative business model empowers entrepreneurs to launch ventures with little to no capital, making it accessible to individuals seeking to enter the e-commerce landscape without the burden of inventory management or production overheads.
