Print on Demand (POD) is a fulfillment process that creates and sends products to customers only after an order has been made.

This means that there is no need for stock and storage and there won't be surplus of products. Print-on-demand let's to avoid the overproduction that is widespread in the rest of the industry and causes lots of waste.

When you move abroad you start living between countries and cultures - in Abroadland.

When Helena's (the designer/founder) had moved from Finland to Australia, as a new mother and foreigner she ended up to various curious and often amusing situations. The life abroad was full of exciting things but it was 'not all roses'.

To process everything, Helena started to draw cartoons on the daily happenings abroad, and they formed a book called 'Greetings from Abroadland – Experiences of Family Life Abroad.'

In Australia, Helena started to create textile prints about nature, and after moving to Switzerland, she found herself drawing language-learning cartoons called 'German for Mummies'.

Abroadland became a mix of these and other experiences and expanded to offer creative services and printed products. And here it is now, always evolving.
