Print on demand (POD) is a printing technology and business process that allows book copies (or other documents) to be printed in single or small quantities until the company receives an order. While other industries pioneered the build-to-order business model, "print on demand" could not emerge until the advent of digital printing, because printing single copies using traditional printing technologies such as letterpress and offset printing was prohibitively expensive.
Many traditional small presses have switched to POD printing equipment or outsourced their printing to POD service providers. POD services are used by many academic publishers, including university presses, to maintain large backlists (lists of older publications); some use POD for all of their publications. Larger publishers may employ.
Clothing is another popular way of utilising POD
