Lines And Grace review for Gooten: Print on Demand
Aug. 9, 2018
What I like : >> GENERAL - superb partner support - products are reviewed by real people before getting printed (with default review request option as ON) - production costs are low - packaging : keeps products safe - shipping tracking is UPS (pillow) and USPS (sticker) - trackable and if not, can contact partner support for follow-up - edits in shopify show up in gooten products - the only print of demand for stickers and folded cards that cater to non-bulk or single order items I have found!! >> PRODUCT SPECIFIC : - folded card : print quality of image is fantastic (McCoy Silk double side) - stickers : quality of material is good - really peels easy and can be restuck and the cut is smooth - throw pillow : highly recommended (image print quality is awesome and materials feel high quality - tried cotton and poly twill 14x14 and 20x20) What I don't like : - shipping is too expensive for folded cards for international shipping - guides are not easily accessible (product image dimensions in pixels and bleed margins but a partner support person gave me access to the document in our email convo) - folded card : not reviewed even with review option on and the resulting image placement on card did not match the mockup (the image was centered in the mockup but the actual product had no margin on the right side on the front cover and not margin on the left side in the left inside page) - order was resent to me but I was billed without my consent. ***Update*** they replaced the card free of charge and shipped it to me at no cost too. So very kind of them. They took back the charge. - sticker : image quality is a bit grainy - sticker : option limited to vinyl and is kiss-cut not really die-cut (also no option to make margin between kisscut edge and image smaller) - packaging : no branding options - 2 or more pack image replacement/upload process is a bit confusing (sometimes I can only upload 1 image for all "pages" sometimes I can upload multiple images for each "page" in a pack) I will definitely continue to use Gooten. I would love for more options to be available and the rough edges smoothened out.
