The comparison
Time is money. We give you months back.
How long each step takes, from the idea to a product you can sell.

| Finding a factory | Your factory is in your pocket | Two or three weeks, or more |
| Getting samples | In your hands in 1 to 4 days | Two or three weeks, or more |
| Negotiating prices | The cost of every piece is in front of you | As long as you can hold out |
| Making it | Under 60 minutes per order | 25 to 60 working days |
| Importing | You import nothing, everything is ready inside Saudi Arabia | A month by sea, or a week by air |
| Customs clearance | No customs or conformity certificates for you | A week by sea, or 2 to 3 days by air |

What is print on demand?
Print on demand: how does it work?
Print on demand means your product is not made until a real customer orders it and pays. No stock bought ahead, no minimum quantity, and nothing lost if it does not sell.
At Tamm, every order that reaches your store goes straight to our production line. We print the piece on industrial DTG printers at up to 1200 DPI, pack it without our name, and ship it to your customer from inside Saudi Arabia.
The difference from holding stock: you start with no capital, try any design, and grow without tying yourself to big production runs.
