Print-on-demand is a process for creating products with little to no waste. Instead of printing thousands of copies of a book, shirt, or other product, print-on-demand creates the product as it’s ordered. Inventory is a thing of the past.
Print-on-demand (“POD”) allows creators to avoid large, risky and costly minimum quantity orders by leveraging digital printing to produce books, textbooks, manuals, yearbooks, magazines, and other printed goods.
