Print-on-demand is a popular business model in India that allows single or small-batch printing when customers order them.
This helps creative professionals start their businesses with minimal upfront costs. The Indian POD industry market size has witnessed significant growth in the past few years and is expected to rise at a CAGR of 27.8% during 2023-2031.
An individual can set up their business online, create unique designs, and work with suppliers to customize white-label products.
Suppliers then manage the products’ manufacturing and shipping which means entrepreneurs are free from bulk buying and investing in storing their inventory with POD services. One such platform is Qikink which offers POD services for a huge range of products including apparel, mugs, and accessories.
