What is Print on Demand?

Print on Demand is a business model in which products are created only after a customer orders. Instead of buying stock in advance, you design custom products, list them in your online store, and let a print-on-demand company handle production, packing, and shipping. 

There are no minimum order quantities, no managing inventory, and no upfront costs. It’s one of the most accessible ways to start an online business selling custom merchandise.
