What's the Benefits of Print On Demand

Benefits of Print On Demand

Besides lowering the unit cost of short run printing, Print On Demand allows the customer to keep fewer copies of its books, catalogs, manuals or other printed items in stock, thus reducing storage space and handling costs.  And because the customer?ˉs inventory levels can be kept low, Print On Demand helps reduce the chance of being stuck with printing that has become obsolete. With Print On Demand, you only order items as you need them.

Does it Apply to All Types of Printing?
Print On Demand is most often associated with books and other multi-page documents, but it can also be used for other printed pieces as well.  The key to Print On Demand is that the production runs are relatively short.  For example, a customer could order 100 copies of a product catalog at a time instead of ordering a whole skid.
