EU Print on Demand Without Customs or Delays
merchOne is a print-on-demand manufacturer for high-volume sellers, brands, and agencies. Wall art and home décor for European customers are made in-house in Latvia, Poland, and Germany, and shipped within the EU.
What is EU print on demand?
EU print on demand means orders are printed and shipped from inside the European Union. Parcels never cross an EU customs border, so there is no import VAT collection at the door and no customs check on the way to your customer.
merchOne produces EU orders at its own sites in Latvia, Poland, and Germany.

Non-EU Supplier vs. EU Print on Demand
What changes when an EU order is produced inside the EU.
| Feature | Shipping into the EU (China, US, UK) |  (EU-based) |
|---|---|---|
| Customs clearance | Required for every parcel | None within the EU |
| Import VAT at delivery | Possible, depending on setup | No import step |
| Production time | Varies by supplier | 2-3 business days |
| Delivery in Europe | Longer, plus customs risk | 2-8 business days |
| Landed cost | Hard to predict | No surprise import charges |
Non-EU Fulfillment Is Costing You Margin and Reviews
If your supplier prints in China, the US, or the UK, every EU order is an import. That creates problems for you and your customers:
- Import VAT and customs handling on parcels entering the EU
- Customs holds that add days and trigger “where is my order?” tickets
- Longer transit times that lose sales to local competitors
- Costly cross-border returns and refused parcels
- Unpredictable landed costs that break pricing and ad budgets
