Print-on-demand (POD) is a printing technology and business process in which book copies (or other documents) are not printed until the company receives an order, allowing prints of singular or small quantities.

While other industries established the build to order business model, "print-on-demand" could only develop after the beginning of digital printing, because it was not economical to print single copies using traditional printing technology such as letterpress and offset printing.

Printing is a process for reproducing text and images using a master form or template.

The earliest non-paper products involving printing include cylinder seals and objects such as the Cyrus Cylinder and the Cylinders of Nabonidus.

The earliest known form of printing as applied to paper was woodblock printing, which appeared in China before 220 A.D.

Later developments in printing technology include the movable type invented by Bi Sheng around 1040 AD and the printing press invented by Johannes Gutenberg in the 15th century.

The technology of printing played a key role in the development of the Renaissance and the scientific revolution, and laid the material basis for the modern knowledge-based economy and the spread of learning to the masses.

Graphic design is the process of visual communication and problem-solving through the use of typography, photography and illustration.

The field is considered a subset of visual communication and communication design, but sometimes the term "graphic design" is used synonymously.

Graphic designers create and combine symbols, images and text to form visual representations of ideas and messages.

They use typography, visual arts and page layout techniques to create visual compositions.

Common uses of graphic design include corporate design (logos and branding), editorial design (magazines, newspapers and books), wayfinding or environmental design, advertising, web design, communication design, product packaging and signage.

A label (as distinct from signage) is a piece of paper, plastic film, cloth, metal, or other material affixed to a container or product, on which is written or printed information or symbols about the product or item.

Information printed directly on a container or article can also be considered labeling.

Retail is the process of selling consumer goods or services to customers through multiple channels of distribution to earn a profit.

Retailers satisfy demand identified through a supply chain.

The term "retailer" is typically applied where a service provider fills the small orders of a large number of individuals, who are end-users, rather than large orders of a small number of wholesale, corporate or government clientele.

Shopping generally refers to the act of buying products.

Sometimes this is done to obtain final goods, including necessities such as food and clothing; sometimes it takes place as a recreational activity.

Recreational shopping often involves window shopping and browsing: it does not always result in a purchase.
