What is a Print on Demand or a Special Print on Demand?
Print on Demand (POD) refers to a publication that is not kept in stock but will be produced once an order is received. A POD publication will be in black ink on white paper and in loose-leaf form. Special Print on Demand (SPOD) refers to a publication that is not kept in stock but will be produced once an order is received. A SPOD publication requires special handling which may include 3-hole punching, color pages or other requirements that go beyond the standard handling of a POD publication.
