Print-on-Demand

Print on demand (POD) is a production and distribution model where products are created only when an order is placed by a customer, typically in the context of customizable items like t-shirts, mugs, posters, and books. Unlike traditional manufacturing methods that involve producing items in bulk, print on demand allows for the creation of individual items as needed, reducing inventory costs and minimizing waste.

In a print on demand system, customers can personalize products with their own designs, photos, or text, making each item unique. Once an order is received, the design is printed onto the chosen product using digital printing technology, and the finished item is then shipped directly to the customer.
