- It integrates seamlessly with our Shopify Store, so you just set it up once and it runs on autopiltot. - Being a POD service, we can test new designs with almost no risk and no upfront investments. - They have fulfillment centers in every continent, so our customers get fast and reasonable priced shipping. - They have several blogs and videos to help you get started and optimize your designs for print.
- It is a bit more expensive than some competitors, so that means lower profits for us.
- We have several designs for our brand in our webstore. We don't need to invest in production, warehouses, and fulfillment. Since we don't sell enough t-shirts (it is not our primary goal), Printful allows us to have enough variety and choices in our store without making a big investment (or taking a high risk).
As a nonprofit festival, we are always looking to expand our merchandise offerings where we can hopefully increase income to offset many of the costs we endure during our festival. Printful has a good amount of products available and their online interface makes it relatively easy to set up products and variants. Most everything is set as a "what you see is what you get" style and I appreciate that.
I had a few sync issues with my online store when I first got set up. There are also times where I felt products I set up did not get communicated or linked properly. Out of stocks have occurred and I wish the communication of these events was clearer. I also wish some of the product costs were not as high as they are. The cost of the products they are listing are more expensive than someone who could print locally.
In the world of COVID-19, we can have an online merchandise store and not worry about the overhead cost of pre-printing merchandise. Having the items on a print-to-order basis is so very helpful. It truly minimizes the risk to our organization. I just wish that we as a nonprofit could make a better income without us pricing the items too high for our patrons.
I like that it is a simple website to use for branded clothing that is also high quality. We use it mainly for product giveaways and merchandising.
Sometimes the cost is not desirable, but for something used on a sparing basis it doesn't end up being unreasonable.
We are solving the ability to merchandise and find products for giveaways in a niche market where giveaways of products relevant to our brand aren't exactly logical.
Printful has a clean interface on it's website, timely and helpful customer support, and the items are of high quality that arrive quickly.
They can be a bit pricey especially if you're ordering a high number of items for merch.
If you need higher quality, branded merch items quickly then Printful is a good solution. It's not ideal for well-planned out, higher volume orders of merchandise.
Wide variety of products to highlight my logo and promote my business.
Better quality products like this come at a higher price.
Other sites that sell customized merchandise are like Walmart. Printful is like an exclusive boutique.
Absolutely Love printful! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend to anybody wanting to explore the creative options that this service offer! great way to expand your brand and impeccable service! It is a Great app. Very easy to use. Fully integrated with Shopify. :) 5 stars for this application.
Just wish they have more product such as shoes, watches...

The truth is that it is a serious company with quality in the printing with a wonderful and fast traking as the most.
The only thing, maybe it would be the way to introduce orders, could be something better ...
prints to all kinds of clients or himself.
Printful lets you create a lot of products and test different designs without the risk of actually printing them. Being a Print-on-demand business, you only print what you sell, so you can have a large library of products in your store. They have a huge library of articles to help you get started.
We didn't make a lot of sales (not Printful's fault, obviously). We made a test with some products in our webstore, and sales were not as good as we thought they'd be. Since we were just doing a test (and our Printful products were not our priority), we stopped using it. However, Printful is a great company and every single one of our customers received a quality product on time. We may return to Printful in the future if needed.
Having more products in our store without the need to invest in wherehouses and production, minimizing the risk of trying new designs and fulfilling and shipping worldwide.
I love how easily Printful integrates with my Shopify store. Once you have everything set up, everything else is automated. The quality of the majority of products is good. I like the customization option for the packaging that makes it looks like the product shipping directly from my organization by including our logo and other information.
Even before COVID, fulfillment time is a little long in today's immediate gratification shoppers. I have received a few customer complaints on fulfillment time. Pricing is a little on the high side which eats in to our profit margin.
Printful completely solves the issue of print on demand fulfillment. The greatest benefit is my ability to be mostly hands off once everything was set up and synced up. They have also reworked our artwork when necessary for particular embroidery at no additional charge. The customer service has always been easy to contact and quick to problem solve.
I love how easy it is to create your designs and just sit back and let Printful do it all for you.
I dislike that shipping prices are a bit high, but they offset that by having relatively inexpensive item prices. Also, when creating mockups, you cannot change the thread color in a single product without emailing them and having them do it for you.
I created merch for my musician persona online.
