print-on-demand systems

Print-on-demand systems are a business model where products like books, t-shirts, or mugs are only created when a customer orders them. Instead of keeping large inventories, the company prints the item specifically for each order, reducing waste and upfront costs. The process typically involves a digital file being sent to a printing partner who produces and ships the item directly to the customer. This allows creators and entrepreneurs to offer customized or diverse products without large investments or inventory management, making it an efficient way to sell personalized goods online.
