Default (Inventory Managment) Which Method Is Best?

Hi everyone. I just had a quick question about keeping inventory on hand. My wife and I plan to start a childrens apparel by the beginning of next year. Once we get things up an running should we keep printed inventory on hand or just have blanks in different colors/sizes and print on demand? Thanks in advance for any input!

to start maybe have a few already printed but most print on demand, you never know what someone will order so no sense in having a lot of slow moving items.

Printing on demand, I think, is the best way to go. If space is an issue, then you'll have much less inventory on hand than would be needed for preprinted apparel.
Once things pick up and you have a clear idea of which items move faster than others you can keep a preprinted inventory on hand at that point. While you're starting though, on demand is hands down the winner.

I second that.
