You’ve heard of print-on-demand, but you may not understand what it is or how it works. That’s okay! I’m here to explain it in simple terms:

Print-on-demand means that the items you design 𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘵 𝘰𝘯𝘭𝘺 𝘢𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘰𝘳𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘥 and 𝘥𝘰𝘯’𝘵 𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘵 𝘢𝘵 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘪𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘰𝘳𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘥. There’s no warehouse with your printed items and there are no minimum order sizes.

For example, you can create a neon yellow I HATE BANANAS t-shirt digitally and if no one buys it, you have lost nothing and spent no money; better still, a stockpile of those shirts is not going to a landfill.

On the other hand, if Billie Eilish finds your shirt and wears it to an awards show, you can start selling tens of thousands of copies of the shirt. You’ll earn profit per shirt and still not have any inventory.

There are printers all over the world with the same blank inventory. All of them have the same technology to print your design.

So you can take chances with that neon shirt you’ve always dreamed of 🤣

Here are some things you can do with print-on-demand:
👚 Clothing: tees, tanks, hoodies, sweatshirts, socks, leggings, joggers, sportsbras, shorts
☕️ Drinkware: mugs, water bottles, glasses, wine tumblers, insulated mugs
📱 Tech: phone cases, laptop cases, bluetooth chargers, AirPods cases
👦🏻 Kids stuff: clothing, stuffed animals, PJs
👜 Accessories: bags, totes, patches, coasters

How did I do in explaining this? If you didn’t have a good understanding of print-on-demand before, do you now?
