What’s Print on Demand?

[IMG: video thumbnail]

[H3]
Your idea, your brand, our fulfillment
Print on Demand is a business model that lets individuals and businesses create custom products – from apparel to home goods – using their own designs. In this model, each product is made after it’s bought, so there are no order minimums.

It’s a low-risk, low-cost way to run eCommerce businesses. Entrepreneurs, creators, artists, and anyone else can customize white-label products and sell without inventory. Once a customer orders, we print, package, and ship the product directly to them. No logistics. No inventory. No hassle.

Monetize your art

It literally changed my life—it freed up so much time and gave me my life back. That’s why I recommend Printful to any artist who wants to save time. It might cost me $20 to ship a print, whereas you guys do it for $8. Coming from Canada, the prints might hold up in customs, but Printful now has a place in Canada, the US, Riga, and even Australia. It’s a no-brainer for me.

Face This

We chose print-on-demand out of necessity. We have day jobs, and we have a lot to do, so the idea of ordering hundreds of products was out of the question. We didn’t have anywhere to put it anyway, so it kind of seemed like the best solution for us. We don’t have to hold any stock. We can try so many designs without having to order large quantities or minimums. Printful made it so much easier.

Printful has always supported us rapidly to resolve problems and ensure the best experience for our customers.

And if you need advice, Printful has a wealth of it.

I was touring the world at that time, so I had no time to think about dealing with merch, handling stock, etc. I wanted something where I could have my site, do my clothing line, and have it be white-label. I was print-on-demand from the get-go, but Printful was the next level.

Frequently asked questions

[H3] Can you sell online without inventory?

Yes, you can start selling without inventory or upfront investment by using a print-on-demand partner like Printful. List products in your online store, create product descriptions, and Printful takes care of order fulfillment for you.
You don’t need to buy and store physical products yourself, making it a low-risk way to start your online business.

[H3] How do you open an online store without inventory?

To open an online store without inventory, use a print-on-demand partner like Printful and connect it to an ecommerce site such as Shopify, Etsy, or Wix.

Upload your product designs, write descriptions, set your pricing, and promote your ecommerce store. When a customer places an order, Printful produces and ships the item under your brand, so you never need to manage inventory yourself.

[H3] What are the pros of not having inventory?

The main pros of not having inventory are lower startup costs, no financial risk, and unlimited growth opportunities.

By running a store without inventory, you avoid warehousing costs and only pay when a customer makes an order. A print-on-demand partner like Printful handles order fulfillment,  so you focus on designing new products and generating sales.

[H3] What should you consider when starting an online store without inventory?

When you sell products without inventory through print-on-demand, you’ll have a slightly smaller profit margin than with bulk production. That’s because it’s typically cheaper to produce large quantities rather than one-offs.

Another thing to consider is how much time you have to dedicate to your store. As an ecommerce business owner, you’ll need to spend time researching your target market and competitors, overseeing email marketing, social media marketing, paid advertising, and promoting your own products to be successful.

[H3] How do you choose the right supplier?

Partner with a trusted print-on-demand manufacturer, like Printful, that offers reliable support, quality white-label products, and has global fulfillment centers.

Before settling on one supplier, it’s best to get samples from multiple manufacturers so you can compare the service and product quality.

With Printful, you get a 20% discount for your sample order.

[H3] How do you sell t-shirts online without inventory?

Use a print-on-demand service like Printful to sell shirts online without inventory. Find your niche, choose an ecommerce platform or marketplace for your store, design your tees, and publish them online.

When a customer places an order, Printful prints and ships the t-shirt to your customer under your brand.

This ecommerce business model is the ideal way to start selling products online, test design ideas, and grow your store with no financial risk.

[H3] Will customers know I’m using print-on-demand?

No, if you’re using Printful, your products will be made and shipped under your brand—Printful’s name won’t appear on your items. To make an extra memorable impression on your customers, add your branding to labels, packaging, and pack-ins.

[H3] What’s the difference between print-on-demand and dropshipping?

Print-on-demand is a business model where you customize products with unique designs and sell them online. Once you receive an order, your supplier prints and ships the product straight to the customer.
With print-on-demand, sellers get more branding control and use content marketing strategies to attract niche audiences.
As for dropshipping, you don’t get to customize the products you’re selling, but your supplier or third-party logistics partner still stores and ships items to customers on your behalf.
