Print on Demand
Print-on-demand products begin with a digital art file and result in a unique product, custom manufactured for you. These items do not exist before the order is placed, and the product is manufactured after payment and necessary approvals have been received.
Many print items that can be customized with your location's hours, prices, or contact information will be print on demand: event announcement posters, business cards, post cards and trifold brochures are common POD products.
Promotional items also can be print-on-demand products if they are not inventoried and instead are created after your order has been placed. Examples include trade-show booth display items, can koozies with city and state added, or high-quality swag with a low initial order point. This kind of specialization can take a longer turnaround time for production - please check the item description for information on expected delivery timelines.
Often, POD products use media builder templates to gather information from your user profile, Location Manager data, and information entered directly through the page's interface. They will be indicated by a CUSTOMIZE button to open the template for localization:

Other POD products do not have localization, but are manufactured only as they are ordered (not inventoried awaiting purchase). Static print-on-demand items have a digital file that cannot be adjusted by the user, and therefore often bypass media builder. These will have an ADD TO CART button for purchase:
Minimum and maximum limits, along with any required purchase increments, will be displayed near the pricing information:
These limits are determined to provide user value by making the most of equipment and resource capacities and volume discounts. Warnings on-screen indicate if the entered quantity is outside these bounds:
