Lulu

Lulu pioneered single-copy print-on-demand for self-publishers and still excels at books, calendars, and merchandise with no order minimums. The platform lets you upload a PDF or use their design tools, then print and ship individual copies on demand with relatively transparent pricing and straightforward distribution options.

Authors and independent publishers rely on Lulu for its strength in book formats, though it also handles apparel, drinkware, and home goods. If you're focused on print books or need the flexibility to order just a few copies of anything, Lulu's lack of minimums is genuinely useful, though its interface and product selection feel less modern than newer competitors.
