How Airports Can Benefit From Print-On-Demand

A print on demand service (POD) allows airports to create high quality customised printed materials on demand, strengthening efficiency and improving your passenger experience.

There are a wide range of materials that can be created through print on demand: not just flyers, leaflets, and forms, but also directional signage, safety posters, and customer guides.

Print on demand solutions help you adapt your collateral rapidly to any changes in flight schedules, security requirements, or passenger needs, so that travellers and staff receive the most accurate and up-to-date information – without having to waste outdated stock.

Unlike traditional bulk printing, print on demand fulfilment does not require you to hold extensive stock or place orders in advance – you simply order what you need, when you need it, helping you manage your resources more efficiently while maintaining high quality printed materials.

Operational Flexibility

Being able to order materials on demand gives you greater flexibility to respond swiftly to unexpected circumstances. Whether you require updated guides to reflect new airport regulations, advertise change flight schedules, or produce emergency signage, POD gives you a nimble solution to support your airport’s operation.

Enhance Sustainability

Print on demand can help improve your airport’s sustainability profile and reduce your carbon footprint, by minimising paper waste and avoiding the need for large print runs that might become obsolete.

Easy Customisation

Using a print on demand service, you can quickly update and produce custom materials while still maintaining brand consistency. Using a set of approved templates and an online customer portal and storefront, you can create a wide variety of printed materials, signage, and marketing collateral directly, without having to go through a graphic designer, copywriter, or intermediary.

Cost Control

Finally, let’s talk about cost. By printing only what you need as and when it’s needed, airports can reduce the costs associated with bulk printing and storage. Unlike conventional print fulfilment, print on demand does not carry any penalties for small volume print runs, nor added charges for rush orders, so there is no need to maintain a huge inventory of printed materials, helping you optimise your budget allocation and storage space. There are also fewer costs associated with waste and recycling, contributing to a leaner and more sustainable airport operation.
