Merchandise Procurement + Design + Manufacturing
Print on Demand (POD) vs Traditional Screen Printing
The ConneXtion is proud to offer state of the art Print On Demand services! POD is a digital printing technology in which inventory is created on an as needed basis. The POD model flies in the face of traditional Merchandise Manufacturing, where bulk quantities are produced prior to sales and distribution. However, with POD the price per item is higher. It is a complicated matrix to determine when POD services are right for your project. Let the experts at The Connextion help you weigh the pros and cons so you are in the best position to maximize the sales and profitability of your project!
