What is print on demand?
Print on demand (POD) is a fulfillment model where products are only manufactured after a customer places an order. It is a service that produces printed items only when you need them. Unlike traditional printing (which often requires large minimum orders), we print single items or small batches, eliminating inventory waste and upfront costs. You order exactly what you need, when you need it.

POD Service VS Wholesale
The characteristics of mass production and wholesale have many disadvantages due to lack of flexibility, and the emerging POD can solve these problems well.
Inventory
You need to buy a large amount of inventory in advance, and if the goods cannot be sold quickly, it may lead to a backlog of inventory, increasing costs. But POD isn’t produced until there is an order, which greatly reduces the inventory risk and reduces your financial pressure.
Personalization
Traditional bulk buying merchants often choose specific items and designs during the bulk purchase stage to get a lower purchase price, which limits the variety and personalization options of the product. But POD allows customers to personalize items according to their preferences.
Costs
Wholesale requires suppliers to produce large quantities in advance, which can lead to higher production costs. But POD is produced according to the actual order, which allows for more effective control of production costs. This flexibility helps to optimize production processes and reduce waste
Delivery
Wholesale delivery time often take longer due to the suppliers need to produce and store large quantities of goods in advance. But POD is without inventory backlog, the production and shipping time is relatively short, allowing customers to meet their needs faster.

Frequently Asked Questions
What products can I print using POD?
We support a wide range of products, including clothing, jewelry, home supplies, electronics, accessories, etc.
Is there a minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
This is a key advantage of POD! We offer very low MOQs – often as low as 1 unit for many products. No more being forced to order hundreds or thousands upfront.
How is pricing calculated?
Pricing is per item. Key factors affecting price include:product type&specifications, color, size, quantity, etc.
What file specifications do I need to provide?
To ensure the best print quality, provide print-ready files meeting these requirements:
Format: High-resolution PDF or vector files (AI, EPS). High quality JPG/PNG/TIFF may be accepted if resolution is sufficient.
Resolution: Minimum 300 DPI (dots per inch). Web images (72 DPI) will appear blurry when printed.
Color Mode: CMYK (for printing). Do not use RGB (for screens).
Bleed: If your design extends to the edge, include a bleed area (typically 3mm or 0.125 inches on all sides).
How do I place an order?
Ordering is simple:
1.Select Product: Browse our website and choose your product type and specifications.
2.Configure Options: Select quantity, size, material (paper/fabric type), colors, finishes, etc.
3.Upload File: Upload your print-ready file in the designated area.
4.Preview & Confirm: Review the digital preview (if available) and confirm your design looks correct.
5.Enter Details & Pay: Provide shipping information, select a shipping method, and complete payment.
6.Production & Shipping: Your order enters production and ships upon completion.
How long does production take?
Production time (from order confirmation/payment to shipment) depends on product complexity, current order volume, and finishes. Typically 2-5 business days.
Do you offer sample proofing?
Yes! For important orders or projects with critical color/quality requirements, we strongly recommend ordering a physical proof. This is the most reliable way to verify the final output (color, material, finish) before committing to a full run. Proofs incur an additional cost and separate production time.
How do you protect my design files?
We take your privacy and intellectual property seriously:
1.Strict Confidentiality: Your files are used solely to fulfill your order. We do not share, sell, or reuse them without your permission.
2.Secure Transfer: Files are uploaded via secure, encrypted connections (HTTPS).
3.Post-Order Deletion: Source files are securely deleted from our production systems after order fulfillment and a standard retention period (unless you authorize retention for future reprints).
4.Copyright Ownership: You retain all rights to your uploaded designs. We claim no ownership.
Where do you ship, and what methods are available?
We offer various domestic and international (where available) shipping options (e.g., standard courier, express, economy). Supported regions, delivery times, and shipping costs are calculated and displayed clearly during checkout based on your shipping address.
