Printful: Print on Demand

I love it!!! but I really don't like making designs on it. I can never tell the exact placement for my designs especially for leggings, and prints down the side of the leg, a very common design theme for our store. I really wish the design editor was more clear on where the placements go. Its always a surprise and I am forced to continually order test prints every single design which is costly and time consuming, I don't get my designs out timely and with seasonal changes and that impacts my business (so when that happens- I print in-house designs using other techniques besides OD). Printful should really be helping the designers out with placements and ensuring that we know if we place something, it will print. yes, I know varying sizes etc, but the PF designer should clearly show the varying sizes and the mockups should be clearer and larger. I have to lean into the screen and think to myself, hmmmmm, is that design placement correct?

i cant tell because i can't even see the left side or right side clearly. I should be able to expand all mockups with ease and see every side of the product. 3D mockups are great, but you don't use them for all products :( that would save me tons of time.

I haven't been logging in to create because it takes so long to get placements right due to these limitations. But my students are begging me to make more, so I am here today. but I realized why I haven't been on, its very time consuming to create and I already have my designs ready to go.

My other concern is if you are working with athletic companies why there aren't more options for ALL OVER PRINT tanks and towels? Microfiber hand towels are a go-to product for athletes and I see that the only towels are very strange sizes for fitness facilities. and the tank selection is so limited...more racer back styles and muscle styles (AOP) would be cool.... (in the cotton feel AOP, oooooh people would love that loungy vibe)

OH and YAY! Thanks for adding the flare plants, sooooo many people have been asking for them, so I am stoked to begin adding them. Wish we had a long sleeve that flared too to match.... LOL Thanks for reading! I really love PF. thanks!!

I wish they had phone support and they are a bit pricey... But then not having an inventory makes up for that. They have improved a bit over time making synchronization to a store a bit easier.

It is great but how do I get it to work with Shopify. Shopify keeps sending my order to Printify which I don't want I want Printful

adding or changing a design should be easier

Easy to use and create product designs, basic features are good enough for me however I am sure that the premium features would give an extra boost but cannot justify paying more for already high product costs.

If you provided the "premium" features for free that would naturally translate to more merchant sales and more profit for you anyway. Seems greedy to me to then ask for a subscription when you already make money from the product - just a thought

It's good. It's fairly easy to use and has good integration with Shopify, but doesn't have enough clothing choices for women, especially women's' hats and caps.

Also, the leggings and sports bras should have the option to be designed and sold as a set, since many people like to buy them that way. This also is an issue with product layout options on Shopify.

Additionally, your mockups are very limited. I have a PlaceIt subscription. The problem is their mockups don't always align with your products. For example, your skater skirt has a waist band; but, none of their mockups for the skater skirt have a waist band on the skirt. It should be better coordinated.

Price too high, loading speed too slow for a website production and take too much time to upload a product. they need to at list double the processor and ram speed. last price use to be automatically saved for a quick way make the speed x5 when adding products to the store.

Good partner app with lots of products although some to not have as much customization as you might like. Customer support is helpful and quality is very good.

Quality of the shirt and print were really good. The shirt arrived within 7 days which was not too bad for a custom print coming from the West Coast to NYC. I will def continue to use printful for my shop designs.

could be a little more user friendly for older people that don't know spit, including barely being able to type but want to start a website for canva then to printful then to you. It's a lot when you know what you want tot do but just don't know how or where to look to find it.
