Printful Reviews & Product Details

Their products are great, and they integrate seemlesy into Squarespace. Also orders are turnkey unlike Printify who makes you jump through hoops to get your order into production.

Shipping isn't quick which is frustrating for some customers who are all used to Amazon shipping now.

We use Printful for merch to rep our nonprofit.

The things I find the most helpful when it comes to Printful. Is that they have a big selection of items to sell as merch. So sometimes it's hard to pick just one.

A few things I dislike about printful is there high shipping fees. And standards for buying in bulk. As well as no free shipping for in Canada and only the US. Which I find completely unfair.

They are helping me with printing and creating my metch with the designs and layouts I give them.

Printful offers a remarkably user-friendly and intuitive interface. The range of products available for selection is abundant, and their quality is exceptional. I particularly enjoy the flexibility of choosing the brand I wish to sell. Additionally, I value the convenience of utilizing other platforms for designing or leveraging Printful's existing template designs. However, my absolute favorite aspect is the branding component, which allows for the inclusion of personalized inserts bearing my own brand, adding a wonderful finishing touch.

While there are a couple of minor areas for improvement, they are by no means dealbreakers. One suggestion I have is enhancing the "saved template" feature to retain the settings applied during the design process. It can be a tad frustrating having to repeatedly modify identical wording.

Printful effectively addresses the typical expenses and logistical challenges that arise when launching a business and acquiring the necessary materials. By leveraging Printful, small and/or emerging business owners can save valuable time while sustainably bringing their creative ideas to fruition. As we are aware, a significant number of small businesses struggle due to the absence of a solid plan, an effective marketing strategy, and limited financial resources. However, Printful significantly enhances the chances of success by making it more achievable for these businesses to thrive.

Printful is a Print-on-Demand company that is the leader in the business with millions of sales worldwide. It is both online and an App where you can create print-on-demand (POD) products using either your original art or their art and text to create designs to place on their enormous amount of products. They have a design editor, and the ability to push your products to places like Amazon, eBay, Etsy, and so many more. You can in most cases also write all the text -- title, description, keywords, etc, and use their mockups, offer sales, create your own pricing for products and it goes on and on. What I like most is it is free and helps me make money across the globe.

Though they are the leader -- even if Amazon Merch n Demand is coming up alongside them, their prices are really the highest in the industry for us to purchase wholesale, have printed, and shipped. That means I have to charge more when I use them for a product but their print and product quality saves the day. It is just too pricey for most of us.

Aside from being the best place to upload my designs and do all I have to do to create a product and push it to my online store(s), you have to have product photos in specific sizes, resolutions, and more for every platform you sell on and that is always different. Printful supplies you with all of the mockups you specifically chose. It is absolutely a lifesaver because I do not have the physical products, they do.

I was blown away at how easy it was to brand the merchandise and sync it with our WooCommerce bookstore on our WordPress website. I tried five other vendors and nothing compared--we either had to buy items in bulk or take users to an external website to place orders. Thanks to Printful technology, we now have a custom Bookstore where members can buy our branded swag without leaving our website. Their transactions are recorded in their profiles on our site, and they can choose items they want to have print-on-demand. Take a look at the result. See a screenshot of our bookstore http://assets.1791delegates.org/v/0IHQ7Dpg4Sf8C3uvCwFg and see a screenshot of our branded products: http://assets.1791delegates.org/v/cY7tUfWpbBBXklq0ibsA Overall, it took me less than three hours to create 16 branded products, select the product images, and integrate everything into our WordPress site. The Printful website is a master class on how to use technology to optimize efficiency. I was also amazed by the shipping process. For other vendors, we had to wait for six to nine weeks for bulk orders. Printful had items on my doorstep within a few days. And for things that look longer, they were there within ten days. And each item came with clear tracking notifications, so I knew exactly where the order stood. And the quality, wow. The products are exceptional. Our intricate logo looked great on the gym bag, embroidered shirts, mouse pad, greeting cards, and stickers, and everyone kept commenting on my Columbia fleece vest. Overall, Printful created game-changing technology that exceeds our expectations. Their print-on-demand business model is brilliant, and their products are gorgeous. Thank you, Printful, for all your hard work and commitment to excellence.

Honestly, my biggest lament is that I wish I had known about Printful a year earlier. The printing on the stainless steel didn't keep very well but all the other products were superior.

Printful solves three main problems for us: (1) Having to pre-pay bulk orders in hopes members of our association buy them at our annual meeting; (2) Having our members go to some other website to buy our branded products; and (3) Having no way to track our members' purchases. Thanks to Printful's print-on-demand model, our members go to our WordPress website and use our WooCommerce integration to buy branded swag without leaving our website. Our members see a clear history of what they purchased, and the items sync with Quickbooks for our bookkeeping. It's a brilliant system that they've created.

Response time and shipping time frame. Receive the products in just a few short days.

It's very difficult communicating with the live chat. Sometimes you can't get your questions answered

By giving customers quality products. Benefits of not having to handle inventory

Ease of use and very helpful and quick support chat

Unfortunately, sometimes shipping can be high priced.

Solving not having to keep inventory on hand. It is much easier than ordering in bulk and managing stock.

Printful is very easy to use even if you are new to the print-on-demand business. I was able to set up - connect my store and sync my products in a matter of an hour.

The prices of some products are comparably high, but considering the quality, I think its ok

I am integrating print-on-demand products into my store to sell and Printful gave me a lot more than that. Printful gave me everything I need to lunch my print-on-demand business to the world.

The Printful product selection is great, quality is always top-notch and the shipping speeds are very fast (even during the holiday season). Very happy about our partnership with Printful.

I wish there was more flexibility with the pricing. If the pricing was better I believe we could achieve a higher scale to our revenue and order volume. That would be my only complaint.

We are trying to provide customized clothing and other products to our customer base. Our customers really love the unique items they can find with us that they cannot find in stores.

I am very pleased with the quality of the fabric used, as well as the print and manufacturing of my product. Very durable too.

I think it would be nice , especially for potential customers, to have the tote bag in some kind of packaging besides its shipping bag.

At the moment, I have not had any issues.

I am a creator by nature, I love designing and selling what I create. Printful allows me to do that without having endless amounts of inventory on hand. While still allowing me to purchase Items I need if I have an event.

I wish I could mass pick items to upload into my store without having to do each individually. It's a blessing and a curse.

Printful allows me to have an array of items in my store without having thousands of dollars in inventory. Opening me up for product line growth.

I came to Printful because of the quality of the product, the standard, and the quality control. It allowed me to go further with my brand. If I get better products, I thought I would have happier clients ant that is what I get. My average review rate on Trustpilot is above 4.3 / 5 and from what I know is pretty tricky to reach better results with Print on Demand. So I moved to Printful after running a couple of tests with samples. Tests, where Printful appeared to be the best fit for me. Quality, user experience, but also application support were above my expectations. After one year of selling with them, I became Executive! From this point, the service becomes five stars : - Strategy support - Dedicated team member for any after-sale support Printful is the best Print on demand company on the market, the one that will allow you to build a better brand that will stand for years.

I don't think that there is so much I dislike regarding Printful. The company doesn't ship anymore to some European Oversea regions, which is sometimes irritating.

Printful allows you to build a standard. Anywhere, anytime, your T-shirt will be printed identically, with the same quality. Without quality control and standard, it's just impossible to build a brand.

We've used Printful for about 4 months now and they have been fantastic. The 2 things I love are the value they offer and the customer service. We sell posters of my grandmother's photographic artwork (Eve Arnold). The paper quality is as good as many photographers use for high-quality photographic prints but at a fraction of the cost of anywhere else I've found. This means we are able to offer affordable and high-quality posters that really show the photos at their best. In terms of customer service, Printful always reply quickly, are very knowledgeable and helpful and solve any issues fast. The customer back end portal is also very easy to use. You can get started selling products quickly and easily and managing things once you're up and running is simple too.

There are very few downsides to Printful that I've found. The only one I can think of is that they don't have a fulfillment centre yet in the UK for sending out products so our UK customers receive their orders from Spain. However, this has not proven to be a problem. Our orders are small enough, so our customers don't have to worry about customs duties and the delivery time is still very good - usually about 10 days. We have had no complaints about this, only satisfied customers who love the quality of the posters.

The biggest problem that Printful solves is how to give Eve's worldwide audience access to high-quality posters of Eve's images. Printful have centers around the world and we can therefore easily offer posters to people no matter where they are in the world. They take care of all the printing and shipping, and because all the products are print on demand, you don't need to invest a lot upfront.

Printful has been our fulfillment partner for a number of our brands since 2017 and they have played an important role in us being able to scale our business. POD is not new and Printful is not the only player in this industry - however, they are one of the few Print on Demand companies with the most consistency, transparency, around the clock customer service, and wide selection of products. They also do have a number of warehouse locations around the world (and new ones constantly added) which greatly helps with turnaround times and end-user experience as shipping a product closer to one's location internationally significantly improves transit times. I look forward to more years of partnership with Printful.

There is nothing really I dislike about Printful - there are fulfillment issues that come up (especially in the last year due to the pandemic) but Printful's transparency helps with us being able to maneuver in any market condition. When order issues come up, Printful quickly resolves them and reships the correct products.

Printful resolves the issue of us having to print our own products as well as warehouse them - they completely take care of this aspect of the operation so that we can focus on the other parts of the business.

First of all, quality of the products and printing is really great, this is the most important thing when you are selling something and sometimes people assume every company is gonna be like that, but... you'd be surprised to see that this is not the case for most of them, so I have to give Printful a 10/10 in this compared to the POD industry. Another thing that I like is that they are always working to add new products and that’s something I truly appreciate, a business listening to their customers is a business that is going in the right direction. The customer service is also great, they had help me with any problem, issue or question that I've had and I can guarantee you I'm someone who is always looking for the best results. Another amazing thing about them is that you can be based in the most remote place and still you are gonna be able to sell your products anywhere in the world, from the US to Europe, Australia, Asia, etc without having a huge increase in the cost, I'm already used to it but having a global partner like this is something you are looking for in any business. There is no possible comparison between Printful and other POD companies at this moment if you are looking to start a serious business.

I don’t really dislike a lot of things about them, but I will try to review the main topics that can be a problem for other people. When you go with a POD company there is a thing you have to know: pricing is gonna be higher than buying in bulk, yes, but that’s part of it, you are sacrificing some margin for not having to risk your money on something that you don’t know if it’s gonna work. In that price is also included everything that you would have to pay for if you choose to do it on your own. I've also seen some people complaining about shipping times, you have to understand that we are on a pandemic, almost every business except Amazon is having delays and most of you customers will understand if you inform them. Before Covid-19 shipping times for national deliveries were less than a week and a week or so for international deliveries.

As I told before, you can ship worldwide without having to pay a huge amount for it. They have fulfillment centers all around the globe, so that solves any logistic problem. I’m also able to make a new design and upload it immediately to my store without having to wait weeks until it’s produced and if something doesn’t work I'm not expending hundreds before testing it.

For me, Printful is part of a whole strategy. I'm a bandleader and apart from providing music to people, I want to provide them with cool objects, like T shirts etc. Printful is part of this. I design T shirts with parts of the lyrics, meaningful messages people might find cool to wear. The colors and everything is designed to be fun and uplifting and soulful. Anyway, it's SUPER easy to upload your designs and turn them into products. They have preset mockups that look incredibly professional. It wasn't that long ago I'd have had to have stacks of stuff lying in my garage, and hope I could move it! It's just too easy nowadays....

Drop shipping takes longer but that's just part of the equation. I find it a little confusing to change designs and colors etc sometimes but hey, it's all pretty new to me and I have to say, the shirts are really, really nice. I can't really think of anything negative to say. You have to spend time with it in the beginning. I'm also not familiar with any of the competing services.

It's a way to create a deeper experience for people, once they've listened to our tracks. It's the beginning of a community of meaningful growth. Like I said, ordering 50 shirts in each size and having them sit in the basement....this just seems so much easier.

I love that there is such a wide variety of products to choose from. And each different kind of product has several options so you can weigh cost vs. quality. For example, there are about 15 different types of tee shirts to choose from. Some that are super light and thin. Some that are a little thicker and more durable. So depending on what you need the shirts for, you have options that can best suit your needs. I love that you can add branding to tags and packaging. The printing and shipping speed is great. It seamlessly connects to my woo-commerce store, so adding products is a breeze. I have been using this platform to fulfill orders on my website where I sell several art prints. Printful makes it so easy to add new products when I come up with new ideas for prints.

There isn't a whole lot that I dislike about Printful. One thing I wish was better, if I'm being picky, are the quality of mockups available. They've started adding a lot more kinds of mockups, but they all look somewhat generic. So I would be thrilled if they decided to expand the options for mockups. One other thing I dislike is the fact that you can only have 3 "in-house" addresses on file to sample products. There are a lot of times where I make 1-off products for friends and family and I cannot send it straight to them.

I am starting to create more merchandise and apparel, and with Printful, I do not need to worry about inventory issues. I don't have to take the risk of ordering 500 hoodies hoping I can sell them. I can use Printful to test ideas and if people start buying them, then I could buy in bulk elsewhere. I also no longer have to deal with shipping. I used to print and ship art myself and it was a huge hassle for me. I'd always end up taking way too long to get them shipped.

I am always needing to print many things in the office and this service is the best option to achieve it. That is why I hope to continue counting on the service and be able to make more customers interested in my company

Sometimes I have had problems with an order and the response time has not been the most indicated but in everything else I have no negative comments

I remember once that a customer needed a service and could not find where the solution could be. It was on that occasion that I used the service and since that day I have not stopped doing it

Printful was an amazing find for me. I learned about dropshipping many years back during the time when Ebay was huge in the early 2000's. I loved the concept, but there was always a bit of manual work required in taking the orders and sending them along to the dropshipper when an Ebay order came in. With the Printful system I can take myself out of the equation and trust that the system is automatically handling orders. Another helpful aspect was their vendor recommendations for photography. I was able to work through Printful's preferred vendor to have a photographer create great images with models wearing my shirts at a really reasonable cost.

Printful needs to be integrated with another system for people to purchase the items instantly, otherwise you'll need to input the orders yourself. This means tacking on another monthly cost to your business in order to provide something like a Shopify or Weebly store.

I found printful when looking for a way to provide a membership benefit to my organization. I wanted them to have the ability to get t-shirts, mugs and other items to showcase their membership, but didn't want to purchase large amounts of those items, store them, and distribute personally. Printful allowed me to offer these items without needing to think about a thing.

I like the user friendly interface for syncing items from your e-commerce platform. It makes it easy to sync up my products and handles all the packaging, shipping and handling to my customers. Fully customizable packaging sticker is a favorite of mine because my customers will know when they receive something from us. The lifestyle mockups are the best and makes it easy to showcase new products to customers.

I dislike the slow page loading speeds when making edits to the design and generating mockups. Sometimes the mockups don't load and I have to refresh the page to re-generate the files. Shipping speeds and fulfillment turn-arounds can be improved. It's taking more than the average 3-4 business days in the past few months from October 2018 to January 2019.

Printful helps me create custom apparel and drop ship to my customers. This saves me a lot of time and resources. The best part is the scalability of its solution.
