What is POD?
Print on Demand (POD) is a flexible production and sales model in which products such as T-shirts, mugs, and tote bags are customized only after receiving customer orders. This model eliminates the need for inventory, reduces upfront costs, and improves operational efficiency, making it especially suitable for small-batch, diversified cross-border e-commerce.

Professional Supply Chain Support
DropSure offers various supply chain solutions to help you find manufacturers that meet quality standards. Our experienced agents provide end-to-end assistance throughout product selection, sampling, ordering, production, and shipping to ensure a smooth and efficient process.
Printing Methods
We primarily use the following printing technologies:
-
Sublimation Printing: Suitable for polyester fabrics, producing vivid, durable images that resist fading.
-
Direct-to-Garment (DTG) Printing: Suitable for cotton fabrics, supporting high-resolution and complex designs.
Most of our products are printed using sublimation technology, which delivers photo-quality images with rich, long-lasting colors.
Quality Control and After-Sales Policy
DropSure implements strict quality inspection procedures on all POD products. If any quality issues arise due to production or shipping, we offer full compensation.
Please note that customized products are personalized and generally non-returnable unless quality problems occur. For special cases, please contact your dedicated customer service representative for assistance.
Global Shipping
We support worldwide order fulfillment, covering multiple countries and regions, with various logistics options to meet different delivery timeframes and cost requirements. We recommend confirming the specific shipping plan and fees for your target market with your dedicated customer service before placing orders.
Product Selection Recommendations
Choosing the right POD products is key to successful operations. We suggest focusing on the following:
-
Fabric Quality: Select soft, comfortable, and print-friendly materials such as 100% ring-spun cotton, balancing wearability and print quality.
-
Size Range: Ensure products offer multiple sizes to meet diverse customer needs.
-
Printing Compatibility: Prioritize brands and models compatible with sublimation or DTG printing.
-
Market Demand: Plan products based on target market preferences, trending items, and popular designs.
Our agents can assist you with product selection and provide customized advice based on real-time market data.
Intellectual Property Protection
DropSure highly values the security of customers’ intellectual property. We have signed confidentiality agreements with our manufacturing partners to ensure that your designs are not disclosed or misused. For special requirements, our agents will offer tailored protection plans to further strengthen IP safeguards.
System Integration
Currently, DropSure does not support automated integration with major e-commerce platforms such as Shopify. Dedicated customer service staff will guide you through manual product uploads and order processing to ensure smooth business operations.
Production and Shipping Timelines
Our target is to complete printing and shipping within 7 business days after receiving an order.
For mixed orders involving multiple product categories or printing methods, delivery may take longer due to cross-department coordination. We appreciate your understanding.
