I now use other POD providers as well, but have been in love with their quality, service, customer service, policies, and more. I have always been a huge fan and I see no dropping them in the future, they really are the best. Pros Yu do not need a cent or even artistic ability to start an online store chock full of a myriad of popular and needed products. And, it is absolutely free. It syncs with your store on Etsy, Amazon, Ebay, and more and you do something once, push the product to your store, and everything is automated thereafter. Cons I stated that Printful was $$$ Mid-tier earlier in teh evaluation of cost in this review. That is only referring to the cost of their products and fulfillment. The software is FREE to use and has online, apps, and more but as it is free they have a higher price for all their products. They are the best in the business worldwide, but other POD companies are also free with just as good of results in general...but Printful wins every time in consistency and quality and you pay for it in teh products.

There are many types of products and it is very inexpensive. Plus I can have quality products shipped by Printful to my customers. They take care of everything. It's a great way to have a side business and to extend my art sales to generate more income. Pros I can easily make art prints and products with my art. I just upload a quality image of my paintings and look for the products I want to create with it. I have connected Printful with my Hostinger account so that my products can be sold from my Hostinger business website. However, I can also order my prints or products to sell them to customers in person. My business branding is also included. Another plus is that Printful is secure and safe for customers. They also handle any refunds of products they ship out. So far I haven't experienced any bugs or issues with the site. Cons When I upload an image, I'm not able to edit the image with color contrasts, cropping, etc like you can in Gelato. Images must be edited before uploading. Alternatives considered [SPOD](https://www.capterra.com/p/238101/SPOD/) Reason for choosing Printful I was able to integrate it easily with my Hostinger account for free and connect it so that I can sell the products on my website.

Pros They worked perfectly fine in the beginning with my sample orders- colorful and crisp. Cons Once I placed a large order or shirts that I approved samples of more than half my prints were blurry. Costumer service has not address it well. I had to take individual photos of each item and provide an itemized list, to which some photos they blamed the fabric even though it’s no different than other shirts that printed clearly. They will not resolve it for me. Review Source DK Dave K.

It works well for basic fulfillment, but scaling or handling issues can be challenging. Pros The products are easy to source and generally reliable, and the fulfillment process is straightforward. It’s convenient for running a print-on-demand store without handling inventory. Cons Some products are overpriced compared to retail, which makes pricing tricky. Support is slow and often unhelpful.

Founder Retail Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Reliable Print-on-Demand Partner with a Few UX Hiccups" October 21, 2025 5.0 Overall, Printful has been a great solution for running my Etsy shop with minimal hassle. It’s dependable, the fulfillment times are reasonable, and I like knowing my customers are getting a quality product. If they streamlined a few of the navigation steps and improved communication from support, it would be close to perfect. Pros I like that Printful integrates seamlessly with Etsy, making it easy to drop ship my designs without a ton of manual work. The product quality is solid and consistent, and I really appreciate how intuitive most of the design tools and mockup generators are. The overall user experience feels modern and professional. Cons Some parts of the UX can be confusing, especially when managing multiple stores or updating product variants. Customer service is fine, but sometimes it takes a few messages to get a clear answer or resolution. Review Source ES Ellie S.

I've been able to design and print so many different products, and the integrations with both Etsy and TikTok are pretty seamless. Cons I think there's a bit of a lack of transparency about pricing for digitizing files, and that really cuts into my profits. I also wish that there was more access to managing individual orders, checking on status within a production facility, and shipping estimates. I had a lot of trouble with that over the holidays.

It's seamless, effortless, and most importantly Printfull is definitely dependable. Cons I honestly can't think of anything I dislike about printfull. Review Source JT James T. Owner Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great and affordable customization platform" September 4, 2025 5.0 Overall has been a great service to use. No major complaints that have caused me to look for other options. Pros Printful is an easy to use platform to sell custom products without having inventory. There are a lot of options for product customizations. Cons Sometimes prices were a little too high for some things. The same happened occasionally with shipping also. Review Source LM Latoria M.

Pros A simple, fast, and affordable way to generate custom designed products fot prices that are adjustible and reasonable. Cons I didn't like that the quality of the print was not the best that I've seen. Review Source Stacey R.

The shirts are high quality and shipped on a timely basis. We havent' had any complaints! Pros Printful makes designing stuff easy. No inventory is great, so no shipping or worrying about getting something to someone myself. They do it all for you. Cons There aren't as many choices of merch as some of their competitors. Reason for choosing Printful They were cheaper and easier to set up. Review Source JM Jackie M. HR and Finance Manager Automotive Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great resource for small businesses" July 1, 2024 4.0 Overall, despite the few small complaints we have, we would still recommend Printful to anyone. Their fulfillment is simple and easy, their embroidery quality is almost always really great, and their customer service is pretty helpful. The ability to have the fulfillment synced with our personal website, so that we have to do next to nothing is something that makes Printful leagues above the other options. Pros The pricing for embroidery/print services is pretty comparable with most other options on the market. We are a small business, so syncing Printful's fulfillment with our website so that customers and employees can order items with our branding on it when they want is the most cost-effective way for us to have custom merch produced. We also use Printful for our own personal services to have items for the office, uniform shirts, etc. produced. Their website, design functionality, etc. works great, and you're able to do a lot more DIY with Printful as opposed to the other online custom printers, where you have to call to speak with a sales rep to request certain design features (which we don't always want to take the time to do). The quality of most everything has been decent, and when it hasn't, they've replaced it to make it right. Cons As I mentioned, there have been times where the print or embroidery quality has been inconsistent. When this has occurred, they've made it right, but you do have to go through the process of submitting images of the products, waiting in the queue for the customer service rep, etc. when the items really shouldn't have been sent out like that in the first place. We tend to order embroidery more often from printful than we do screen printed items, as we've noticed the screen printed items do not last very long (it looks nice, but fades a ridiculous amount after the first couple washes). They could definitely add more variety to their inventory as well, as they don't have much a diversity in what they offer. Review Source HW Henry W.

Their platform is highly user friendly and offers more than we could have hoped for. The items we have so far created have turned out splendidly, meaning the team behind Printful has chosen tried and true printing companies to work with. It is because Printful is so good at what they do that we have become disappointed in the range of white-label products offered. Despite that, Printful has provided us many ways for our POD business to flourish by offering coupons, sample discounts, heads up on policy/price changes, and a slew of built-in designs to add to our creations. Pros It is Direct. That is the most important aspect of Printful, most especially for POD newcomers. We went into the business with no knowledge about the industry. It isn't that Printful is exactly informative, rather they are extremely organized and the content isn't mired by ads. Cons There is a curious lack of white-label products available. After using Printful for the first time in 2020, very few new items have debuted across the platform. When compared to its competitors, Printful offers very few avenues of POD merchandise and lines of collections. Reason for choosing Printful Printful has a tighter grip on the identify of its design, which is to say that we know what to expect from them. The main design of their website doesn't change often (this is a good thing) and users are not distracted by countless buttons. We use Printify with other POD services because it is a trustworthy option, and when it comes to the POD business, options are 50% of the hustle. Review Source JM James M. Designer Apparel & Fashion Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Print on demand is super efficient and items can be sold and shipped worldwide" February 15, 2024 5.0 My overall experience has been good. I used it for a couple of years integrated with Etsy. And now I use it with an integration with Shopify. It's nice because when and order is placed, in Shopify, it is automatically sent to Printful. Here is my current Shopify store using Printful: https://ignatiusapparel.com Pros 1) Intuitive user interface 2) Included Clip art 3) Digital Models with product Mockups 4) A graphics editor Cons Lower prices would be nice, but I mostly like it. Review Source EW Edwin W. Owner Design Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Printful Product Review" July 31, 2021 4.0 Initially, my experience went well. As Printful grew, however, keeping my business a priority for them became a big issue. The quality control also started to fizzle...Honestly., in the long run, I'm glad I stopped working with Printful and just started printing with a local screen printer. Pros What I like most about Printful is the ease of launching an apparel brand within minutes. With TONS of blank apparel items you can certainly provide a very customized product for your customers. Cons There are a few things I do not like about Printful. They are a little pricy...I feel their sublimation printing should be a bit cheaper. Another thing is they did have long turnaround times. As the apparel industry grows, more clients begin to use Printful. The demand for apparel printing is greater than the fast working times Printful can provide. Also, it is a pain to set up tax (Nexus) with Printful, if you sell worldwide... Review Source VT Vincent T.

It's the best print on demand app out there. I have been using it for over 3 years now and have not have any complaints since. I would recommend to anyone to use this professional print on demand business. Pros It is easy to use and very user friendly. Information on the website itself is easy to understand with words and infographics added to minimize confusion. Live customer support is very helpful and the responds is quick. They go out their way to help out with queries. Also there are plenty of discount codes and monthly competition to win prices which is very nice. Cons Some products go out stock for a very long time and also the shipping prices for products has drastically increased. Review Source AnneSophie M.

Usan Correos Mexicanos, yo estoy esperando mas que 1 mes el primer pedido. Esto no puedo ofrecer a clientes. Mejor recomiendo usar Printify en México. Ellos hacen envíos con UPS y llega a tiempo.

Integrative with bandzoogle directly and such an easy company to deal with and use. Would recommend for any one with a business or merchandise. Pros Everything. Amazing drop shipping company that has a ton of products to choose to brand yourself with. Cons Nothing. Honestly. I will continue to use them in the future. Review Source LS Luba S. owner Arts and Crafts Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Solid option for print on demand clothing and merch" August 12, 2021 5.0 Printful is one of several top-tier print on demand companies. They do things well, and have good print quality. However they are definitely more expensive than several other comparable companies and don't have a order rerouting option that other co's do. Pros Catalog is well laid out. It is easy to apply original designs to merchandise. The order process is seamless and works well with Wordpress (and presumably other platforms) Cons Integration with woo commerce could be a little more streamlined. Updating a product on Printful platform completely overwrites the product in my woo commerce store. Would be good if you could lock certain parameters. Reason for choosing Printful I started with printful, but their costs were prohibitive.

Pros I like that I don't have to think about inventory. Shipping is also handled by them. And I like that it is very easy to start your own small business without the hassle.

The app makes the business very easy, with lots of products, brand personalization, and above all, the shipping and pricing calculations. Highly recommended. Pros When it comes to Print on Demand, Printful stands apart from its competitors. Its extensive features and handy mockup generator makes Printful the best app you can find. Cons Maybe Printful needs improvement on the ability to edit more product description, tags, SEO tools. Review Source wS william S. owner Apparel & Fashion Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Less than perfect" May 30, 2021 4.0 Overall experience is ok. I feel like their products are too expensive which leaves yoou less profit. Pros POD software, I like that you can upload your own images or designs as any print on demand software you are able to do. One thing I do really like is they are an eco friendly and green company. Cons What I like least about this software is you can not reposistion things on their stuff. Lets take a t- shirt design for example. Once you choose your image they place it in the upper part of a shirt. You cannot move it around or make any larger then what they allow for. Review Source EB Elizabeth B.

Pros I particularly enjoyed the ease of having my shirts printed and shipped without me having to lift a finger. Cons Sometimes when I would choose a female fit shirt it would give me a Male model. That wasn't very helpful when trying to show how it would look on a female. Other times, I would have issues with my store syncing correctly. Review Source GM George M.

Extremely worthless tech IT work. Cons The system is dysfunctional. The system blacks out while typing text to be printed. Reason for choosing Printful Their website fooled me.
