Why Choose Print-on-Demand?
Izel DugenShare
The thought of starting a business can be daunting. There’s so much to consider, like managing inventory, handling fulfilment, or paying high upfront costs. If you’ve always dreamed of starting your own business without the high upfront investment, the print-on-demand (POD) model could be your ideal solution!
This model is perfect for anyone looking to start a business with limited funds but heaps of creativity.
If you’re reading this, you’re probably curious about the benefits of using POD, so here’s a rundown of the key benefits of POD:
1. Low Startup Costs – Jumpstart your online shop with Minimal Investment
With print-on-demand, you only pay for the products you actually sell. It really is that simple. There’s no need to invest in stock upfront, meaning your financial risk is considerably low. Simply design your products, upload them to your Shopify store (or other platforms like Etsy), and you’re ready to roll. When customers place orders, POD providers like Universal POD handle the printing, packing, and discreet shipping directly to your customer.
- Launch your business with minimal financial risk—pay only for products sold
- No upfront investment in inventory, freeing up your budget for marketing and growth
You can even design products using your artwork directly in our Shopify app Superfast POD.
2. Customisable and Unique Products – Let Your Creativity Shine
The POD model is ideal for those with an entrepreneurial spirit who want to offer something truly unique. With Universal POD, you can create custom designs on a wide range of different products like T-shirts and hoodies and hats. Simply upload your artwork, adjust to your preference, and that’s all there is to it! No equipment needed (apart from your computer, of course!).
Whether you're a designer, an artist, or simply passionate about creating exclusive, one-of-a-kind products, POD gives you the flexibility to bring your ideas to life. Plus, because you’re offering custom designs, your products will likely stand out from the competition.
- Design unique products like T-shirts, hoodies, and hats with ease.
- Stand out from competitors by offering unique, personalised items.

4. Scalable Business Model – Grow Without the Growing Pains
One of the biggest challenges with traditional eCommerce businesses is scaling up. As your store grows- so do the demands of your business. You need more space for inventory, more staff to manage orders, and many more resources to handle the increase in demand. With POD, scaling is so much easier and far less stressful.
Since a POD provider, like us, handles production and shipping, you can focus on driving traffic to your store. If a particular design takes off, you can quickly add more items or experiment with new products, all without the burden of managing inventory. The POD model allows you to grow your business with ease, without worrying about logistical headaches.
- Easily scale your business without worrying about inventory or storage.
- Quickly add new designs and products to meet growing demand.
5. More Time to Focus on What You Love
In general, running a small business is an overwhelming task, with constant external demands. With POD, you can escape this chaos and focus on what truly matters—being your own boss without the constant stress of handling the operational side of things, helping you achieve your entrepreneurial dreams with much less pressure.
- Spend less time on fulfilment and more time designing and marketing.
- Focus on growing your business while Universal POD handles the operations.
