Printful: Print on Demand

Great concept, poor execution. If you're a brand that plans on getting premium products with this service you will be disappointed. There are a number of serious issues with using Printful. I tested this for my business and determined the quality was simply not there.

1. The production, fulfillment and shipping times are way too long. Once the order is place, 3-7 days for picking and production and another 3-5 for shipping. In a world of amazon prime, customer expectation doesn't leave much room for a 10-12 day wait period for a tee.
2. What they don't mention is the DTG inks are plastisol. Common in low-end or novelty tee printing but if you're planning on selling a branded $22-$28 tee Printful is going to under deliver. Plastisol is a PVC-based ink so after it's done the shirt feels like there's a sticker on it and no actually printed into the fabric. It's also non-breathable so if you're wearing it in the sun...good luck.
3. My test shirts had blemishes in the art and a few of them weren't even centered on the shirt. It looked rushed.
4. The inks weren't even matched properly so colors didn't transfer from design.

I reached out to their customer service with my concerns with zero follow-up. There's also no phone number to talk to customer service so you're pretty much on your own.

Beware, if it's too good to be true it normally is...

Printful is by the the best POD service we've worked with that integrates well into Shopify. It has a great range of products and the design tools are much more advanced than any other service. We've switched all our POD products over to Printful.

This makes adding inventory to your store very easy.

Printful gave me directions on how to setup my own store. It's helping me sell my art on different products.

Best fulfillment service ever. Please add more cool stuff to sell.

This is a great app with terrific integration with shopify. It is not quite as intuitive as I would love, however, customer service has been outstanding with every single question that has come up for me.

This app helps my small business so much with the cheap production and free shipping. Ive sold over 20 orders already within the first few weeks!

What I thought was going to be complicated process turn out to be really quite easy. With some wonderful assistance from a great support person at Printful, my first (of many) T-Shirts is now posted and ready for sale. They were very patient with my many questions and I now have a great step by step process to list more shirts quickly and easily. Great support especially if you have never done this before.

Easy to use so far just started.

allover print does not provide full mock up picture. everything else is great
