Print on demand

From a design in the browser to a packed order.

Lay artwork onto a cut-and-sew blank in the browser, and the platform produces both of the things that follow: the mockup your buyer sees, and the print file the factory runs.

  • Every printable panel, including the ones no camera sees
  • Bleed and cut lines drawn while you work
  • One design document behind the preview and the print file

Print on demand, from a design to a packed order

Four moves, and the platform owns the two in the middle that are hardest to get right.

  1. 01

    Pick a blank

    Browse the catalogue by category, fabric, size and colourway. Every blank lists the sizes it is graded over and the panels it can be printed on.

  2. 02

    Design it in the browser

    Place artwork and text onto each printable panel. The canvas shows the bleed and the cut line, so what looks safe on screen is safe on the roll.

  3. 03

    List it in your store

    Publish the blank as your own product, with your title, your description and your retail price on each size and colourway you want to offer.

  4. 04

    We print and ship it

    An order becomes a print file — every piece imposed at print resolution and nested with a cut marker — and the finished garment is made and sent for you.

What the platform does for you

Everything between an idea and a garment a factory can make, in one place.

Design in the browser

A canvas for cut-and-sew work, not a sticker placed on a photograph. Artwork and text sit on the panels the garment is actually printed on.

  • Every printable panel is editable, including pieces no camera sees
  • Bleed and cut lines are drawn while you work
  • Every change is saved as a version you can go back to

Mockups that show the garment

Artwork is warped onto a photographed blank so a listing image is the product, not a flat rectangle over a product.

  • Front, back and combined views, per blank
  • Photography and meshes versioned together, so imagery never half-updates

Print files a factory can run

The output the platform is built around: every piece of the garment imposed at print resolution and nested onto the roll.

  • Per-piece bleed and a cut marker on every sheet
  • Fonts substituted before the file leaves the platform
  • Sheets composed band by band, so size is not a limit
  • Exports on your terms

    Take the mockups, the print files, or both — one size or the whole graded run.

    • Mockups and print files are separate jobs with separate queues
    • A run that is cancelled part-way keeps the sizes that finished
  • Your own store

    List a blank as your product, at your price, with your words. The platform's cost stays the platform's.

    • Your title, description and imagery per listing
    • A retail price on each size and colourway you offer
    • Several stores under one account, each with its own team

What makes PLAMPOD different

Four decisions taken in the codebase, and what each one means on the screen you use.

  • A blank's sizes are its own

    Sizes come from the templates a blank actually ships, so a garment graded over five sizes exists as itself rather than being refused for missing four it never had.

  • The preview and the print file agree

    Both are produced from one design document and one piece geometry. What the canvas shows you inside the cut line is what the factory receives.

  • Imagery cannot half-update

    A blank's photographs and warp meshes are versioned as one unit, and re-publishing changed imagery under an old version is refused rather than quietly applied.

  • Cost and price stay separate

    What the platform charges you and what your buyer pays are two different numbers on two different screens. Nothing on this site prices your product for you.

What merchants say

Sample content — replaced when the real thing exists

  • Sample merchant

    Apparel store

    This quote is a placeholder. When merchants are trading on the platform, their words go here — with their consent, their store named, and nothing edited into their mouths.

  • Sample merchant

    Accessories store

    A second placeholder, sized like a real review so the band's layout can be judged before the content exists. Length, line breaks and the card's height are the point of it.

  • Sample merchant

    Home and living store

    A third placeholder, deliberately shorter and rated four rather than five — a wall of identical five-star praise is the shape a fabricated review band always takes.

Questions people ask first

What a blank is, what it costs, and what the platform does and does not decide for you.
