Print-on-Demand (POD) is a digital printing business model in which products such as apparel, accessories, home décor, books, and promotional items are produced only after an order is placed. This model eliminates the need for inventory, reduces waste, and allows high levels of customization. The rapid growth of e-commerce, personalized products, and creator-led businesses has significantly accelerated adoption of print-on-demand services across both consumer and commercial markets.
