Printful: Print on Demand

Seems like there is no (or low) quality control. Sample products arrived with ink errors, faded prints, and misalignment issues. Make sure you demand all your orders to customers get MANUALLY checked because the default QC process in place is not satisfactory.

Once reported, customer service was quick to reprocess and re-ship, but they could have saved both themselves and me time and money with proactive quality control.

Printful: The Best App for Embroidery and Screen Printing – Hands Down!

I've been using Printful for my apparel brand for a while now, and I can confidently say it’s the best app out there for embroidery and screen printing, bar none. From the seamless Shopify integration to the high-quality products, Printful has made it incredibly easy to bring my designs to life. The embroidery options are sharp and durable, and the screen printing is top-notch. The turnaround time is impressive, and the customer service is always responsive and helpful.

However, like any great platform, there's always room for improvement. It would be fantastic to see Printful expand its product line to include items like sunglasses, which would really enhance the variety of accessory options. Additionally, I’d love to see the option for side and back embroidery on trucker hats—this would be a game-changer for brands like mine that want to maximize branding on headwear.

Other than these minor suggestions, the Printful app truly stands above the rest. It offers everything you need for creating high-quality, custom products. No comparison—if you’re serious about your brand, this is the platform to use!

Easy to set up . FREEEEEE right? Nah you sell a 10-20-30-40-50 dollar item and make negative money or 1-2-3 dollars. They get rich and you don't. Use better services out there.

Have been using/working with Printful for 6-7 years now. I've also used their competitors but when it comes to the most important things of a POD app and store owner like user-friendly navigation/integration, product selection, quality of prints and consistency, printful is undoubtedly setting the standard for this business model.

Why only 4 stars?: 5 stars is a perfect score and there are definitely things they can work on, just like all apps and companies. I've used or at least did my due-diligence with almost every POD company that there is. Many do offer a wider product range for high quality and niches. Some companies produce better prints and embroidery.

moderately easy to use. I don't have much experience with digital sales or pushprinting, but I feel like I have enough resources to figure it out. I get confused about offering 'free shipping' by adding it to customer costs, and how that affects my profit margins... but that's all part of the learning curve.

I do recommend this app to anyone wanting quality items to print their designs onto. The word quality is key. I worked at a print shop when I was younger and the colors are perfectly vivid and pop when you see them in person.

I am hoping that their merge with printify will bring cost down some.

I would prefer a faster delivery time yet I also realize that these are not mass produced and made individually for small orders.

I chose Printful because of quality of product and a multitude of diverse products available to print your design on. The vividness of the colors are amazing making your designs pop!

Starting out my apparel brand, choosing to use shopify e-commerce as my foundation suited my lifestyle. Learning about the options available to use as vendors, Printful: Print on Demand was a great resource. Creating my designs, either outside of Printful, or within the app, have been a great way for me to get my ideas out and get the orders fulfilled! I've tried a few others, but they are nothing like Printful with shopify.

Their service was great and it’s been a favorite for years, however, there’s been a number of issues I’ve attempted to address with Staff regarding the quality of their shirts. We had very questionable amount of wear and tear over a short amount of time, I would say 4-6 weeks tops. Please look into the quality of the products.

stock issues drive me bananas. Also certain items are not available. I don't want to have two different partners. i want to keep things simple. So I may switch altogether.

Printify has nicer totebags. their cards don't have ugly codes on the back of them (a complete dealbreaker). I kind of don't like their scattered vendor options, it seems complicated whereas Printful keeps it simple. But I'm still considering switching over before I become too invested in Printful.

So far, I really like how shopify works real well with Printful. I'm still very new at this and I don't have a lot of sales and very little experience. But, so far, it has been incredibly fun designing t-shirts and the store looks great. I'm confident the sales will come once I have a great assortment of shirts for people to choose from.
