What is Print On Demand?

Print on demand, an innovative and ecological model: discover print on demand with TPOP.

Print on Demand is a 100% automated sales system that has experienced incredible (and justified) growth over the last ten years.

As a sub-domain of Dropshipping, Print on Demand allows you to monetize and distribute your creations by affixing them to physical products of all kinds, from textiles (t-shirts, sweaters, etc.) to various accessories (water bottles, mugs, etc.).

The big plus of this business model? No need to complicate your life with inventory management and product shipping. All products are printed and shipped from us to your customer under your brand name, without you having to store anything, so there's no initial investment or financial risk on your side.

Life is beautiful.

A simple to understand model

1. You create your online sales site
2. The customer visits your site
3. He orders one or more items
4. We print and ship his order, on your behalf

Who is Print On Demand for?

Print on Demand is a business model that can be extremely interesting for a variety of profiles:

Do you have some creative inspiration or marketing talent and want to put your visuals on products to monetize your business? POD is an excellent choice.

You're an influencer, a Youtuber or an author, and you want to capitalize on your popularity and offer your audience the chance to show their support through the purchase of merchandising (also known as derivative products).

You want to launch a crowdfunding campaign for your project? It is often necessary to set up counterparts, t-shirts, mugs etc. With print on demand, there is no need to pay in advance or manage stock, it's magic.

As the head of a professional business, you'd like to organize team-building activities and rally your staff around colors and your company's overall image with customized products.

Thanks to Print on Demand, whatever your situation, creating your own brand or launching your own line of merchandising has never been easier or more accessible: it's a clean, honest way to make money from the Internet.

Why Print On Demand?

It's a system with many advantages. Let's take a look at them together:

We all know that time is a precious resource for any designer. With Print On Demand, you don't have to worry about production, logistics, packaging or shipping orders, so you can devote as much time as possible to your design and marketing strategy.

Digital printing and sublimation require expensive equipment, and this type of investment may not be viable for self-entrepreneurs and designers. Fortunately, all these machines are already with us, ready to be launched to print your fabulous products, while all you need is a computer and Login .
Wondering how to make money? With print on demand, you don't have to invest in your launch.

With Print On Demand, as the name so aptly suggests, your products will be manufactured according to customer demand. So, with no physical stock, there's no risk of losing unsold copies.

This is also what makes this system a true friend of the planet, as it differs from the highly polluting mass production.
In addition, we do our best to offer the most environmentally friendly service, offering clean products and plastic-free shipping.

There are many good reasons to embark on the Print on Demand adventure. But there's no need to rush into it: first of all, let's take a look at how to get your first item on sale.

Print On Demand, yes, but how does it work?

We know you like soft solutions for your budget, which is exactly why our application is completely free, with no fees or subscriptions.

Our catalog is full of high quality, eco-friendly gems to boot.
From t-shirts to mugs to pillows and personalized covers, it's up to you to select which products will be the most appropriate to accompany your designs and represent your brand.

Congratulations, your visuals are ready! They look great. Now it's time to load them in 1 click on the dedicated page of our site.

This can be linked to various platforms such as Shopify, Etsy and WooCommerce, or of course to your TPOP online store (offered when you create your account).

The list of integrations available via our print on demand platform can be found here.

No online store? No problem, we've got it for you: TPOP can set up your store in just a few minutes, free of charge.

Like a traditional order, you receive the amount paid by the customer for the product sold. On our side, we get notified about the order to be printed, packed and shipped. You won't be invoiced until the order has gone into production in our workshop, at which point you'll be left with the nice margin you'd previously allowed for this item.

Example:

You choose to create a t-shirt that you will sell for €30 on your website and charge your customers €3 for shipping.

A customer buys this t-shirt on your site, and pays you directly, into your bank account or via Paypal, the sum of 30 + 3 = 33 EUR

On our side, when your order goes into production, we will invoice you for this t-shirt at 12.50 EUR + 3.95 for delivery, i.e. 16.45 EUR.

You therefore make a margin (final profit) of 33 - 16.45 = 16.55 EUR on this sale.

That's all there is to it. You don't have to do anything else. Piece of cake, isn't it?

But why choose TPOP?

TPOP represents the best print-on-demand solution, and we say that with complete objectivity (hahum).

Why?

First and foremost for our platform and its ease of use.
This was one of our bets when we designed our platform; to offer our users the possibility of experiencing an easy and intuitive Print on Demand.
Today, it is with great pride that we can say that this bet has been met.

When we launched TPOP, one of our other objectives was to offer top-notch service, both in terms of printing and technical support. We wanted to set the record straight: just because a system is automated doesn't mean it's devoid of humanity and expertise. Here again, it's clear that we have a proven track record: our service is fast (validation and printing of your order in 3 days on average), our technical support super-available and our printing high quality.

TPOP is also a company that has put the environment at the heart of its concerns since day 1: not because it's good for the image, but because this issue is really important to the team. So we offer a wide range of eco-responsible and ethical products, in line with our values.

Likewise, we are pioneers in the 0-plastic movement: our packaging is guaranteed zero plastic, from the adhesive to the cardboard envelopes, 100% recycled and recyclable.

Finally, we offer you a wide range of branding (or personalization) options, most of which are completely free of charge; from personalized packing slips to your own logo on parcels, to inserts lovingly applied by our team, there are plenty of ways to show your customers that you're bending over backwards for their benefit.
