Personalization has become a cornerstone of modern eCommerce. If you’re a creative individual or an entrepreneur looking to expand your product catalog, integrating custom designs, like Google Maps images, into your products can be a game-changer. This guide explores the tools, techniques, and trends shaping print-on-demand (POD) solutions for businesses, focusing on how you can add a Google Maps photo to your merchandise using Printcart.

But what exactly are printing trends? And which printing tools do you need?

In a consumer-oriented culture, colors can create or disrupt brand personality. While some of the classic color palettes remain, there are many nuanced designs that continue to evolve. Color trends are the same as fashion trends or design trends. They are fast-paced and always changing.

The trend of On-demand Printing is growing strongly, Here are some trends in 2020:

Combination of colors with Isometric trends: Isometric trends have evolved for a while. And now, this trend is continuing, combining colors of blue, purple, pink to take the product to a new level, creating a new, multi-dimensional and funny feeling.

Classic style combining modern colors: Choose colors in retro style like gold, cream then put them into an interesting contrast, bright or pastel colors, minimalist images. Sans-Serif font: Classic style but still very modern.

Choosing a dark tone: Instead of using a white tone, users will experience the interface that is mostly black or gray. The dark background makes the design elements stand out, creating a higher contrast ratio than using other colors.

The unique monochrome colors: The monochrome design is always a timeless trend. In 2020, designers are venturing away from simple black-and-white designs, focusing on more unique colors. This trend allows designers to increase their change, contrast and interest in maintaining balance and consistency. This is a simple trend, but not a one-way trend like conventional black and white designs. Basically it brings vibrant but not too showy colors.

Using meaningful colors: The trend of using colors with certain meanings helps to provide colors in a way that conveys meaning and emotion. Think about the nuance of color and put it in a strategy, to be able to convey a meaningful message.

Classic Blue color: In 2020, Pantone chose blue # 194052 Classic Blue, a gentle shade, somewhere between medium tones and deep blue on the color spectrum. According to color psychology, classic shades of blue represent intelligence, dependability, and maturity. That explains why blue is the most popular one of all colors when it comes to brands.

The trend that young people love nowadays is not simply the printing of swag pictures, canvas paintings, but they also want to confidently express their creativity through the self-designed online products on the printing website, the images they create themselves on products such as shirts, hats, or masks... but show a tendency to show more unique images such as printing Google Static Maps on shirts or products as a message, as a personality style.

Example: G-Dragon is a member of the famous Korean band Big Bang. He printed the coordinates 37 ° 31'07.6 "N127 ° 07'00.8" on the back of his shirt and in front of the shirt, he printed a static map of Cong South Korea's Vienna Peace as a message of love for peace.
