What is "Print on Demand"?
"Print on demand" is a digital printing technology that allows for the production of goods only when they are needed, rather than in large batches in advance. This business model is common in the publishing industry, where books are printed only when an order has been placed, but it is also increasingly being used for other products such as clothing, home decor, and promotional merchandise. This system differs significantly from traditional mass production methods, where large quantities of goods are produced and then stored until sold.
There are several key benefits to print on demand for both customers and the environment. From the customer's perspective, print on demand offers a wide variety of unique and customizable products. Because goods are created when ordered, it's feasible for customers to customize aspects of their products, making them more personal and unique. In terms of environmental sustainability, print on demand significantly reduces waste. Traditional mass production often results in unsold goods which need to be disposed of, contributing to environmental pollution. In contrast, print on demand only produces what is needed, reducing waste and conserving resources. Moreover, it often uses digital processes that are more energy-efficient than traditional manufacturing methods, further lessening its environmental impact.
