PODpartner: Print on Demand

I have built a clothing brand from scratch. I know what it takes and I know what can break you before you even start.

Print on demand was the decision that made Mr. Happiness scalable without the risk of sitting on dead stock and bleeding money.

But not all print on demand providers are the same. PODpartner is the one I use on Shopify and it stands above the rest for two reasons that actually matter when you are building a real brand and not just selling t-shirts.

The cloth quality is there. When someone puts on a Mr. Happiness piece for the first time I need them to feel it. Not just read the message. Feel the weight of it. PODpartner delivers that without me having to compromise.

And the branding options. That is where most print on demand providers fail you. They make you look like a dropshipper. PODpartner lets you build a brand. Custom labels. Branded packaging. The details that tell your customer this is not just a product but something someone built with intention.

If you are serious about starting a clothing brand and you want to scale without the nightmare of inventory and upfront costs, PODpartner on Shopify is where I would point you every single time.

Mr. Happiness runs on it. That is all the review you need.

The shipping is fast and support service is good. I had some compliance concerns but upon receiving clarity I feel confident as a business owner to use PODPartner.

Great Brand to work with. I love the quality of prints and communications with Podpartner customer service teams. My customers love the quality of the clothes they received.

Honestly the best dropshipping service out there. I have tried many over years and years and this is the only one who has been able to supply real clothing brand quality at affordable prices. Without PODpartner I would not be able to start my brand from my College Dorm.

The quality of PODpartner is absolutely No. 1 !!! It's actually insane !!! The production speed is the fastest in the game, so even if it ships from China you are same speed as normal Print On Demand Productions in Europe but have supreme quality. The price is also very good. So all in all I can say this is the best POD Service you'll find out there for sure. The selection of high quality shirts is impressive! I don't know what DTG printer they are using but it is certainly not Kornit Atlas Max because Kornit actually sucks because the print is like rubber and not very resistant and will peal off after some washes. The DTG Print from PODPartner is the best I have ever seen it is exactly what I always dreamed of and you can not peel the print away no matter how hard you try and it is so high resolution that you can upload a shitty design and it will look good. The print perfectly melts with the garment and is not a rubber layer on the shirt but a perfect blend it feels very good and natural and not like a rubber layer (Kornit Atlas Max feels like that).

Great work PODpartner please keep improving and being the best you can.

The platform is easy to use, the production quality is consistently good, and the clothing materials feel premium compared to many other print-on-demand suppliers. I especially appreciate the attention to detail in the garments and the overall finish of the products.

The customization options are great for building a brand, and the process from design to order fulfillment is smooth and reliable. Shipping times have been reasonable, and everything has arrived well packaged and in great condition.

Overall, Podpartner has been a dependable partner for my brand, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for high-quality apparel and a professional print-on-demand service.

I have been using them for a little over 2 years. I launched my brand with them. Here are the key takeaways:

- Quality: unparalleled. You won't find any better anywhere else.

- Shipping: Takes very long, that is the downfall of POD from China though. You can opt for faster shipping but it is very expensive.

- Customer service: Depends on your issue. For lost/returned packages they can be helpful (they won't respond after hours/weekends and holidays). for quality issues I've had some problems. There were shorts with a hole in them and they didn't issue a refund and told me to ask the customer to sew them.
Customer service has been getting better through the years but compared to other POD providers they have long ways to go.

- Integration: No issues.

- Product lineup: Most items are oversized. Regular fit items are very few and lower quality but the oversized items have outstanding quality.
Would love to see more diversity like jackets, hats, beanies, regular fit sweatshirt etc..

Overall, I gave them 4 stars and not 5 because of the customer service issues (slow to respond, not always available, rarely fix quality issues with a refund) but if you are starting your brand and want great quality, this is for you.

This POD company is the best one i've found. Compared to other company, this one has clothing that actually looks good and doesn't feel cheap. The branding options are also amazing. The only thing is sometimes the shipping can be a while, and faster shipping options for cheaper would be better, but most of my customers either don't mind waiting or get it fast enough. Definitely recommend for a clothing brand.

Great service! My customers were very happy with the quality. My only semi-negative feedback is that they should really work on expanding their portfolio of products. Currently feels very limited.

Clothing is seriously good quality. Heavy fabrics, clean prints in sharp colours and always printed correctly on the fabric. The editor is nice to work with and makes it easy to both create and update clothes in shop.
