Although DTG printing is not perfect, it does open up new opportunities for printing companies and cross-border e-commerce companies. In the past, long and expensive setup times made it impractical and cost-effective for printing companies to print small runs. Instead, for small quantities, they will have to stick to minimum orders for large quantities or charge high fees for small quantities.

However, DTG technology enables digital direct printing services to print small batches or even single products, making it cost-effective and practical. Being able to order individual prints on T-shirts opens up many opportunities for cross-border e-commerce. For example, anyone can create their own designs and send them to a printing company and let the technology do the rest.

DTG also helps make the print-on-demand model seamless. The process is simple. The printing company will print your design for you and send it directly to your client. More importantly for cross-border e-commerce companies, there is no need to invest anything in advance. Instead, the printing company will print the order as it comes in, ship it to the customer, and then charge them.

This model offers many benefits to budding cross-border e-commerce sellers, including:

No upfront investment in inventory: No upfront investment in inventory is required. There is no need to invest in inventory upfront, allowing more people to have a cross-border e-commerce store.

Limited Financial Risk: There is never any guarantee that inventory will be sold at a profit, if at all. However, the print-on-demand model eliminates the financial risk associated with inventory.

Can do small batch orders: Digital direct injection technology allows companies to do small batch orders, further reducing financial risks, making it particularly attractive to small companies.

No need to invest in printing equipment: Printing equipment can be expensive to use and maintain. However, using print on demand means you don`t need to purchase this equipment.

Shipping is handled for you: Sending orders to your customers can be time-consuming and error-prone. A print-on-demand partner will handle it for you, allowing you to focus on other tasks.

Can experiment: With digital direct printing, shop owners can experiment with designs. Experimentation will help them find winning formulas and reduce the risk of losing their investments.
