Print-on-Demand, Made Simple.
We handle printing, packaging, and shipping so you can focus on growing your brand.
What is Print-on-Demand (POD)?
Print-on-Demand (POD) is a business model that allows you to sell custom designed products such as t-shirts, mugs, mouse pads and tote bags without you having to hold any inventory or manage shipping. When a customer places an order, the product is printed, packaged, and shipped directly to them on your behalf.
At GetPrintX, we make this process seamless by offering a fully automated backend that handles everything; from printing to branding to doorstep delivery, so you can focus on building your brand and growing your business.

We Ship It to Your Customer

A mug ordered from your Instagram store is delivered to a fan in Guwahati in 3–5 days.
You Earn the Profit

This seamless process allows you to focus on marketing, customer relationships, and growth while we take care of production, logistics, and fulfillment.
Pros and Cons of Print-on-Demand (POD)
Print-on-Demand is a powerful model for launching and growing an online brand especially when you're starting lean. But like any business approach, it has its advantages and limitations. Here’s an honest look at both:

|---|---|---|
| 1. Low Upfront Investment: No need to invest in inventory, machinery, or warehousing. Just upload your designs and start selling. | 1. Lower Profit Margins (Compared to Bulk Buying): Since products are made one by one, per-unit cost is higher than in large scale manufacturing. However, this is offset by the reduced risk. | |
| 2. Zero Inventory Risk: Products are created only after a customer places an order, so there’s no risk of unsold stock or overproduction. | 2. Less Control Over Fulfillment Time: While GetPrintX aims for fast turnaround, POD may be slower than pre-stocked delivery (especially during seasonal peaks). | |
| 3. Full Automation: From printing to shipping, everything is handled by GetPrintX saving your time and effort. | 3. Limited Product Customization Options: Advanced finishes, multi-location prints, or exotic product types may not be available readily as compared to large scale custom manufacturing. | |

Dependence on Your POD Partner: Quality and reliability depend on the vendor which is why working with a professional, merchant focused platform like GetPrintX is essential. | |
| 5. Highly Customizable: Add your logo, branding elements, and custom messages to every order, we are here to take care of it. | 5. Highly Customizable: Customization options may increase production time slightly, especially for complex or heavily branded orders. Balancing speed with personalization can be a trade-off. | |
