At what point does it make sense to move beyond POD?
I've been using Printful to learn the basics of selling apparel, and honestly, one thing I appreciate is how much complexity it removes from the process.
I don't have to think about inventory, warehousing, or fulfillment. I can focus on designs, branding, and figuring out whether people actually want what I'm making.
At the same time, the more I learn about the apparel industry, the more curious I become about what happens outside the POD world. Recently I was reading about different production workflows.
It got me wondering where most people draw the line.
For those who have been using Printful for a while:
- Did you always plan to stay with POD?
- Was there a point where you felt limited by the model?
- If you eventually moved to traditional production, what was the reason?
I'm still in the learning phase, but it's interesting to see how different business models solve completely different problems.
