Printful: Print on Demand

So far so good! Everything works seamlessly together!

I do refer to others. it does make it easy to create and manage products. but it is not as intuitive as it should be

Printful: Print on Demand Experience

Printful is a popular print-on-demand (POD) service that allows businesses and individuals to create custom products without worrying about inventory, production, or shipping. Here's an outline of the typical experience with Printful:

Product Variety: Printful offers a wide range of products, including apparel, accessories, home decor, and more. You can customize items such as t-shirts, hoodies, mugs, posters, and phone cases with your own designs.

Design Tools: The platform provides an easy-to-use design interface. You can upload your own artwork or use their design tools to create unique products. Printful also offers mockup generators to visualize your designs on different products.

Quality: Printful is known for its high-quality products and printing techniques. They use direct-to-garment (DTG) printing, sublimation, and embroidery, ensuring vibrant colors and durability.

Integration: Printful integrates seamlessly with various e-commerce platforms like Shopify, WooCommerce, Etsy, and more. This allows you to automate order fulfillment directly from your online store.

On-Demand Manufacturing: Products are printed and shipped only when an order is placed, which reduces waste and eliminates the need for holding inventory. This model promotes sustainability and allows for flexible product offerings.

Shipping: Printful handles all aspects of order fulfillment, from printing to packaging to shipping. They have fulfillment centers located in different regions, which helps in reducing shipping times and costs.

Customer Service: Printful provides responsive customer support through live chat, email, and an extensive help center. They also offer resources like webinars, tutorials, and blogs to help users maximize their experience.

Scalability: Printful is suitable for businesses of all sizes. Whether you're starting a small side hustle or running a large-scale online store, Printful can scale with your needs.

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!!

Perfect delivery, packaging, quality, and pictures. I specifically chose my own design to print and it came out as I wanted!

the shipping is really slow and it doesnt give exact times on delivery. Had angry customers because of the unclear instructions of when the delivery was to be.

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

For the ease of use and initial setup, its great! No issues as of yet. I am new to all of this, but for a first timer, very easy to use and navigate.

I've been using (POD) services for a while now, and I would like to say that Printful does have an upper hand in giving your store a good look while giving you room to focus on what matters most, acquiring sales and boosting your SEO by providing your store with stock images that are in quality form and allow proper scaling capabilities that are lossless and retain unique standards when optimized for store speed, look and feel.

They provide a good support system that does not take long to respond to its clients, and the services they provide on the FREE tier are not limited, as they give you a bit of a nudge in wanting to opt in for subscriptions to get extra perks and access to better pricing modules.

I LOVE PRINTFUL, and would advise everyone to open a store right now, to fully support the necessary communities you wish to be affiliated with, as well as the LGBTQI+ movement and the War in #Ukraine
