Print on Demand

Print on Demand (POD) is a fulfillment process that dropships products to customers only after a sale goes through. This means that the merchandise will never require management, storage, or protection.

You can print quantities of  custom merchandise with no inventory management by sending it directly to customers. This fulfillment model allows a customer to buy products in your shop and the order goes directly to the Print Provider. This eliminates the need for order fulfillment and storage space.

Dropshipping is a modern, risk-free business model that requires low investment on the seller’s (merchant’s) part. The idea is that a store owner sells products – but never stores inventory themselves. The merchandise moves directly from the supplier (or Print Provider) to the final consumer without ever being handled or stored by the retailer.

The  print-on-demand (POD) business model involves dropshipping: the supplier/Print Provider ships the product directly to your customer. However, the main difference with print on demand lies in the  ability to customize the products that you’re selling.

The print-on-demand business model gives you the creative freedom to design and sell your products to your customers without any financial commitment on your part.

At Barking Mad, we believe in offering unique, high-quality products that reflect the individuality and creativity of our brand. One of the most effective ways to achieve this is through Print on Demand (POD) services. By utilizing POD, we can produce a wide range of custom-designed merchandise without the need for large inventory investments or the risk of overproduction. This means we can bring fresh and exciting designs to our customers quickly and efficiently, ensuring that our store always has something new and interesting to offer.

Print on Demand also aligns with our commitment to sustainability and responsible business practices. By only producing items as they are ordered, we significantly reduce waste and minimize our environmental footprint. This method allows us to avoid the pitfalls of traditional manufacturing, such as excess stock that may end up in landfills. Furthermore, POD gives us the flexibility to experiment with new designs and trends, offering limited edition items and niche products that cater to our diverse customer base. This approach not only keeps our inventory dynamic and engaging but also allows us to respond swiftly to customer feedback and preferences, ensuring that our offerings are always relevant and desired.
