U.S. Print on Demand Without Tariffs or Customs Delays
merchOne is a print-on-demand manufacturer for high-volume sellers, brands, and agencies. Wall art, home décor and apparel for US customers are made in-house in Columbus, Ohio, and shipped domestically.
What is US-based print on demand?
US-based print on demand means orders are printed and shipped from inside the United States. Parcels never cross a border, so there are no tariffs, import duties, or customs checks on the way to your customer.
merchOne produces US orders at its own site in Columbus, Ohio.

Cross-Border vs. US-Based Fulfillment
What changes when a US order is produced inside the US.
| Feature | Shipping into the US (China, Mexico, Canada, EU) |  (US-based) |
|---|---|---|
| Tariffs & import duties | May apply to every parcel | None on US-made orders shipped within the US |
| Customs clearance | Required for imports | None for domestic shipments |
| Production time | Varies by supplier | 2-3 business days |
| Delivery to US customers | Longer, plus customs risk | 4 business days standard |
| Landed cost | Hard to predict | No import charges |
Cross-Border Fulfillment Costs You Time and Margin
If your supplier prints in China, Mexico, Canada, or Europe, every US order is an import. That creates problems for you and your customers:
- Tariffs and import duties on parcels entering the US
- Customs holds that add days and trigger “where is my order?” tickets
- Longer lead times that lose sales to local competitors
- Unpredictable landed costs that make pricing harder to plan

Orders with several product types can take up to 1 extra business day in production. See the shipping page for all destinations and delivery times.
Does merchOne ship to Canada?
Yes. Orders to Canada are fulfilled from merchOne’s North American production, with a standard delivery target of 8 business days including production.
Can I sell to both US and EU customers?
Yes. merchOne also runs three production sites in Europe (Latvia, Poland, and Germany), so both markets get local production. Learn more about EU print on demand.
