Choosing between print-on-demand and bulk printing can be confusing — especially when you’re planning something special like a birthday, wedding, or baby shower.
So, what’s the right option for your event or order?
Let’s make it easy!
✅ What is Print-on-Demand?
Print-on-Demand (POD) means we only print when you order.
You pick a product (t-shirt, mug, cap, etc.), send us your custom idea, and we print just one or a few — no need to buy in bulk.
Common POD Items:
- T-shirts with name/date
- Mugs with custom quotes
- Birthday party favors
- Baby onesies with names
- Wedding gifts
💡 Perfect for small orders, personal gifts, or last-minute surprises!
📦 What is Bulk Printing?
Bulk printing means printing in large quantities at once.
You place one big order — like 30, 50, or 100+ pieces — and all items are printed at the same time with the same design.
Popular Bulk Orders:
- Staff t-shirts for events
- Family reunion shirts
- Wedding return gifts
- Corporate event giveaways
- Party group hoodies
💡 Great for big events, business orders, or group gifts!
