Print-on-demand services for any business type
What is print-on-demand?
Print-on-demand (or POD) is an order fulfillment method where items are printed as soon as an order is made, often without order minimums.
What does drop shipping mean?
The term POD is often combined with drop shipping to describe a service where items are printed to order and shipped directly from the manufacturer to the buyer on behalf of the customer selling the goods.
How is it different from wholesale or ordering in bulk?
Retail businesses normally make money buying products in bulk at wholesale prices and selling them at higher prices in smaller volumes. But there's a good reason print-on-demand fulfillment is becoming more and more popular.
