Print on demand

Print on demand (POD) is a publishing and manufacturing process where items like books, clothing, or merchandise are produced only when they are ordered, rather than being printed in large quantities ahead of time. This approach allows creators and businesses to offer a wide range of products without the risk of excess inventory. When a customer places an order, the item is printed and shipped directly, often enabling customization. POD is popular among independent authors, artists, and entrepreneurs for its cost efficiency and flexibility, allowing them to test the market without significant upfront investments.
