Print-on-demand (POD) offers a flexible and cost-effective solution for authors and small publishers. Here’s how it works:
- Reduced Printing Costs:
Traditional printing requires a minimum order quantity, often 500-1000 copies. POD eliminates this, allowing you to print only the copies you need, reducing upfront costs significantly. - Inventory Management: You don’t need to worry about storing unsold books. POD prints your book when a customer orders it, eliminating storage and shipping costs associated with large inventories.
- Wider Availability: POD allows you to offer older titles or cater to niche markets without the risk of overprinting. We make your book available both nationally and internationally, through our POD service.
How POD Works with CinnamonTeal Publishing
- Book Printing and Distribution: We handle printing and dispatching your book based on your needs. Whether you require 20 copies for a book fair or want to fulfill individual orders, we will ensure prompt delivery.
- International Distribution: While we make your book available throughout the country, we also make it possible for your overseas buyers to buy your book.
Addressing Potential Concerns
- POD Cost vs. Quality: While the unit cost per POD book might be higher, the total printing cost is significantly lower compared to traditional methods, especially for small print runs. Additionally, POD technology has advanced, and the quality of POD books is indistinguishable from traditionally printed books.
- Larger Print Runs: If you anticipate a larger print run later, you can simply contact us for a bulk printing quote.
