Trends in Digitally Printed Drinkware

Print-on-Demand

Print-on-demand refers to a process of printing as orders come through. This is a term mainly heard in the e-commerce world, but many other industries are starting to adopt this workflow. Staying true to a sustainable process, printing on demand is defined as printing what comes in and as necessary. For example, a customer can choose a specific graphic on a tumbler and choose the quantity. The blank tumbler will only be printed when that order comes through. 

 Print-on-demand, another common practice of the recent few years, is a sustainable process, since businesses only print to fulfill orders when placed, and do so in a more environmentally friendly way. With digital inkjet printing, there is no plastic, paper, water, and/or electricity wasted during the printing process. An image can be printed directly onto the product and shipped for delivery.
