Print-on-demand might be a very popular culture in many countries but has not seen any spread amongst many other countries. These print on demand stores have some great designs and artwork worth looking into and even for styling yourself. Hence, I would like to present to you 5 reasons you should buy from a Print-on-Demand platform.

First, let’s understand what a Print-On-Demand (PoD) store is. A PoD store is very similar to any online clothing store. Just that the designs you see on such stores are made by independent artists. This means that anyone who is artistically inclined or even has good t-shirt ideas can set up a virtual store and start selling their designs. This concept really breaks the typical commercial businesses, where products are mass produced and are found in only limited variations. Over the years print-on-demand stores have evolved. Now they have created the options to buy a design on various products that is not limited to clothing. They have gone into items such as laptop bags, curtains, carpets and even coasters. This means that an individual has the luxury of not only styling themselves but also giving a unique look to their house and work environment.

Now that you have an understanding on what a Print-on-Demand store is; here are 5 reasons why you should buy from one.

Be Unique: We are in the era where embracing our differences and uniqueness is given a lot of importance. People want to break from the stereotypical norms of the society and be themselves. Clothing is actually a great factor of this as well. Ideally people would have to buy clothes from commercial brands. Well not saying it’s a bad idea, but where is the unique appeal to it? I always think that when I pick up any item in a store, someone out there has already bought it and it takes me time to figure out if the clothing is really “my style” (if it takes so much time to tell then it only means it isn’t). In a print-on-demand store you could purchase designs even though they are not in style, as long as you like and enjoy wearing them you can easily get it. This would make your wardrobe specifically styled just for you.

Low Barrier of Entry: Any artist out there who enjoys designing clothes and accessories can easily join any of the print-on-demand platforms and start selling their artwork today. For a buyer this means that products will be more artistically designed because the artist has no pressure from company policies and current trends. A buyer could buy from a wide range of designs that speak to them. The quality of designs would be higher than what you could find in a store.

Highly Customized: Such shops offer the same design on a lot of items. You might have liked a design but you want it on a coaster or a laptop sling. Such places make it possible. Not only that, you can connect with one of the artists and try to get your own custom design made. That could not only make your wardrobe unique but could be a cool gift you got for someone special. Moreover, PoD stores keep adding a variety of new items to keep their stores current and relevant.

Pricing: There are platforms that have offers on artworks that have been released within 48 hours. Other platforms have seasonal offers. But mainly the prices of these products are set by the artist themselves. So if they know their audience they would price accordingly. More often than not products are relatively cheaper on such platforms or at least the prices are very similar.

Support The Artist: Well as a customer you get some really unique designs to style your wardrobe. This means that an artist has a source of income by making great designs for you. You can support the artist community by purchasing these products and help them earn a living. It’s basically a way for you to support the art and community and give more hope to people to keep creating and bring life to their imagination.
I understood all of these points only when I started looking for an option to have an income stream that will support my love for art. As a result, Amchi Kingdom also set up its own store, Amchi Designs, with the intention of being your personal designer. It’s been only a few months that we started working on this and we hope to bring you more such designs that you could wear as an artist or an artist supporter.
