Custom Print and Dropship and Print on Demand Fulfillment Company
Print and dropship and Print on demand is a service that has not historically been cost-effective or practical for most companies, given the time and quality limitations of traditional print equipment. But with the development of digital print technology and more streamlined fulfillment systems, a print on demand fulfillment company can now get materials produced and shipped out with an incredibly fast turnaround time–all while saving money on the part of the client. Spectra has perfected this system, with an advanced in-house print facility and a state-of-the-art fulfillment center with a print and drop system combined in a single operation. Read on to learn how print on demand eliminates the need for storing extra inventory and discarding unused materials after they become obsolete.
Advantages of a Print on Demand Fulfillment Company
The biggest advantage of using Spectra as your organization’s print on demand fulfillment company can be summarized in one word: inventory. There has always been a notorious yet unavoidable expense associated with keeping enough inventory of printed materials on hand to send out to end users–that is, the cost of printing those materials is hardly ever matched by the revenue that comes in when they are purchased by customers.
Printed materials, particularly in the area of marketing, quickly go out of date and are discarded, meaning that any extra inventory must be written off as wasted. However, neglecting to keep sufficient stock on the shelves creates the risk of shipping delays when unexpected large orders are placed and the printer must print a new run of materials. Print on demand, powered by digital equipment and directly linked with an efficient fulfillment chain, solves both issues.

Frequently Asked Questions
Print on Demand (POD) is a printing process that allows smaller runs of print projects very cost-efficiently, and you only have to order the exact number that you need.
POD involves digital printing versus traditional offset printing. Offset printing is a much longer process involving offset presses and press plates with a longer setup time, which requires large runs to reduce overall make ready costs. With digital printing, digital files are transferred from a computer directly to digital presses for printing—no plates or color-correcting make readies are required.
POD is fast! There is less set up time with digital presses and that means faster turnaround times.
With POD, there are no expensive printing plates to be made and very little setup is required. That means less waste and less time, which is a cost savings for you.
POD can actually be less expensive because it allows you to order smaller quantities and only the quantity that you need. This can eliminate inventory obsolescence and possibly the need for warehouse space.
POD can help reduce shipping costs with ordering smaller runs instead of large runs that need to be palletized for shipping. With POD, the printing company typically ships direct to the end customer.
Print on Demand affords the luxury of special coatings and laminations such as gloss, soft touch and matte. Sleeking and metallic inks are another option for specialty techniques. Add some extra protection to your piece by using a UV coating such as gloss, satin or even a pattern.
Offset printing is a much longer process involving offset presses and press plates with a longer setup time, which requires large runs to reduce overall make ready costs. With digital printing, digital files are transferred from a computer directly to digital presses for printing—no plates or color-correcting make readies are required.
Digital presses have the capability of producing a quantity of one, if you’d like to see the finished product before the printing is completed.
