What is Print On Demand?

This makes POD a great option for individuals and businesses of all sizes.

Any product that is ordered is made specifically for that customer. Your design is printed specifically on a blank item such as a shirt, bottle, poster or hat. It is then shipped directly to the customer.

You then collect all of the profit from each item sold. Depending on the item and how much margin you choose, you could earn $5-$25 per sale.

Perfect for almost any scenario

Supplementary Merch

This large hospitality-focussed company has a on-location gift-shop, but they also use ecommerce merch with these goals in mind:

  1. Test new ideas for their bulk orders
  2. Limited-time merch drops
  3. Give non-local fans a chance to show their fandom around the world

They even give their participants the ability to order POD gear during the registration process.

FAQs

What are the costs associated with POD?

Once your store is set up, it only costs you when you customer orders something. So as long as your products have a built in margin, it essentially pays for itself and then some!

How does inventory work?

With POD, you don't need to warehouse or manage physical inventory, saving on storage space and associated costs.

How is unsold merch handled?

Since the only thing printed is what is ordered, there's no risk of being stuck with unsold merchandise that takes up space and ties up capital.

What kind of merch can I sell?

Just about anything. The most popular items are:

  • Tshirts
  • Hats
  • Stickers
  • Posters
  • Sublimated clothes
  • Drinkware
  • Notebooks
  • And so much more!

What if I sell a lot of items really fast?

No problem! The volume afforded by using our providers means you can sell a lot of merch and not worry about frequent shortages. Plus, you can easily add or remove designs and products from your store as needed, making it easy to adapt to changing trends or customer demands.

How quickly do items ship?

Most items go into production within 24 hours and are shipped within one week. Depending on the location of the customer, most merch is delivered within two weeks!

What are the environmental impacts?

POD minimizes waste by printing only what's needed, which can be appealing to environmentally conscious customers.

Can I use POD to test new ideas?

POD allows you to test new designs and product ideas with minimal investment, helping you gauge customer interest before committing to larger production runs.
