What is print on demand?

 Print on demand is where you partner with a print company, and as the title says, they will “print on demand” for you. So if you sell a printed product, your print partner will both print and ship the product for you.

 This means that you won’t pay for the product till after you have sold it. You won’t have to find packing materials or take your item to the post office. Your print partner will do everything for you.

Depending on the item, you may not have to buy the item in bulk either. You can order the item as you need it. Printing and shipping are all managed by one supplier. This does mean that you can keep track of your profit and loss easily.

A print company that can print and post

More Than Just Print can print your items and post them directly to your client. This is called “dropshipping”. We use either Royal Mail or DHL Parcel as standard.

We can work this in several ways; each client prefers various methods that suit them.

Popular Print on Demand Methods

Below are listed the most popular ways for your Print on Demand products. And each method can be tailored to suit your individual needs. 

1) Private shop on www.manual-printers.co.uk

We can create a private shop on More Than Just Print for you. We take your files, and when you log in, you will see your own personal catalogue.

You then order your items, and they are sent directly to your clients.

2) We simply receive an order from your website with order details. The order will go directly into our Production schedule. It will be printed and sent directly to your client.

3) Our online Marketing Portals are set up, similar to our private shops. You log in to order what you want from your catalogue, and items are printed and shipped directly to your customer.

Print on Demand personalised products. 

Printed products can be personalised and sent directly to your clients. Personalisation can be something a simple as a name, image or even bespoke design. 

Pros of a Print on Demand Service

1) Small start-up costs

With Print on Demand, there is a nominal start-up cost to running your online business. 

Traditionally selling printed art would mean investing thousands of pounds in printing your product catalogue.

However, with more Than Just Prints Print on Demand Service and our dropshipping option, you don’t have to outlay anything for your print. 

You don’t have to set up courier services or an account with Royal Mail either. Obviously if you start-up small you can buy a small amount of 

Printed products, and every time you receive an order, take it to the post office. Buy a tube or hardback envelope, write an address, and post your item. However, clients usually expect their items within one or two days. If you receive orders, you could spend more time to and from the

Post office, or booking courier collections.

With More Than Just Print’s drop shipping method, we pack and post, and your clients will receive a text or e-mail when their product has left us.

2) Less aftersales.

With More Than Just Prints dropshipping, the client receives details of dispatch direct from our shipping provider. This directs delivery enquiries from you directly to our courier service. The customer gets points with the shipping process and tracking. This is especially helpful if a delivery is delayed, the courier has been given incorrect delivery details, or the client won’t be home. This can be a full-time job in itself. With Dropshipping, you don’t have to handle any tracking enquiries.

3) New product testing

If you are testing a new product, you can market this product in your online store. If the product does not sell or sells very little, this will not cost you any money. You can launch lots of new products all the time. 

Without holding an inventory of pre-printed items. The only loss is your time and effort in marketing the product. Not in money. This makes dropshipping coupled with print on demand an excellent way of selling your print.

4) Easy to get going

It’s easy to get started selling your print online with More Than Just Print.

You do not have to find anywhere to store your post and packaging or your stock. 

What print files do I need for your Print on Demand Service?

At More Than Just Print, the best file format for printing is always a PDF file. However, if you don’t have a PDF file, you can easily create one from your file using ilovepdf.com.

We can print from Indesign artwork or a scan of your artwork. 

A lot of art products that are sold now are originally produced digitally. This is easy to replicate and can be personalised in many ways. We could number each product or personalise it with a name or other specific details. 

A print company to sell my art.

There are many artists now making their art available to buy online. This was not the case five years ago. Now with Facebook, Etsy and Instagram, it’s straightforward to create an online store. More Than Just Print can both print and dispatch printed artwork. For larger artwork, we would pack the printed art in a tube. With smaller artwork (up to A3 size), we can either roll up your items or send them using a hardback envelope. Dropshipping direct to your client for you.

Online Poster printing For Selling.

The Printroom Group’s online poster printing service is perfect if you are looking to sell posters online. We can print posters from A4 (210mm x 297mm) right up to 1300mm x 10m. The most popular sizes are the A sizes (A4, A3, A2, A1 and A0). However, we can produce bespoke size posters. Posters are printed onto a Lustre stock as standard. This has a slight sheen to the paper and gives off an excellent quality print. Although, unlike Gloss paper, you do not have any glare from lighting when using our Lustre stock.
